[Verse]
This is not a stalker's anthem like that pirate hat you wear
Let's just dress like girls and we could put chewing gum in our hair
Send me messages all day and I will read them
She's a sweaty pirate chick, let's puke again

[Chorus]
Kate was here and I like how she talks

[Verse]
Let's go steal some sheep from a sheep shop somewhere
We could build an army but we'd let them keep their hair
She's not a girly though I do not know her too good
We talk on the internet, damn straight I would

[Chorus]
Kate was here and I like how she talks

[Verse]
If you wanna make a movie in my bedroom
I will bring some tights and make-up
Spitting at a half-moon
She's still hot when she is trying to beatbox so drunk
Dancing like a stoned mouse
Best thought I thunk

[Chorus]
Kate was here and I like how she talks

[Bridge]
All my friends have gone away
Because they're all in serious relationships
Even though that they're only 17
I'd like to be a pirate
Or a stripper or a jedi
And I've come to the conclusion that all girls are mean
Except for all the ones on TV
'Cause I'd gladly let them eat me all night long
Something's wrong with you!

[Chorus]
Kate was here and I like how she talks
(That's a fucking fact)
Kate was here and I like how she talks

Critic, journalist, sometime musician, onetime actor, and full-time Midwesterner Mark Deming provides a discographic-based biography for Cosmo Jarvis:

“Singer, songwriter, and filmmaker Cosmo Jarvis has earned a devoted following for his witty, often satiric tunes about the foibles of relationships and contemporary life, often rooted in personal experience, as well as his own self-produced videos and short subjects that have given his work a global online audience. Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis was born on September 1, 1989 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Jarvis' family relocated to the United Kingdom when he was young, and he grew up in Devon in Southwest England. Jarvis began writing songs when he was only 12 years old, around the same time he began making short films using a VHS video camera. While Jarvis' early videos were little more than documentation of pranks played with his friends, with time he began constructing more complex narratives, and similarly his songs began to evolve, ranging from folk-inspired acoustic guitar pieces and elaborate pop tunes to tongue-in-cheek hip-hop tracks.

At the age of 16, Jarvis quit school to focus on his creative work, and in 2009 he wrote and produced his debut album, an 18-song set called Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch, which was released by the British indie label Wall of Sound. The album combined Jarvis' observational tunes with a cycle of songs reflecting the emotional turmoil of his parents' stormy relationship. Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch received enthusiastic notices from the British music press, but it didn’t sell especially well, and Jarvis teamed with 25th Frame for his second release, Is the World Strange or Am I Strange? A track from the album, “Gay Pirates,” became an Internet sensation after Jarvis' low-budget video for the song was endorsed in a Twitter post by actor and author Stephen Fry, and subsequent airplay helped make the second album a commercial success. While continuing to tour, write songs, and record music, Jarvis has also been writing and directing a feature film, provisionally titled The Naughty Room. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi"
