(Kosi kosi łapci) - Polish folk song my grandmother sung to me

Would anyone know of a Polish Folk song my grandmother sung to me. I only know the words phonetically, so it is way off. I was told it's about: boy meets girl, boy likes girl, boy loses girl. "Kutski, kutski vapski, boya neda vapski, vapska neta beta." If anyone thinks they may have a clue to what the song is, please let me know. I remember this song, but the I never know the correct words, and my dear grandmother passed many years ago.

Thank you,

Laura B.

ooooooh it sounds like a language of another planet :) I read it so many times trying to figure out if it sounds at least 10% similar to any Polish words, but I'm afraid it is not even 1% similar. It could be some informal pronunciation, like uneducated people speak in very poor and remote vilages. As you mentioned it is a folk song, this could be the reason. It is a pity you didn't ask your gramdma when you still could. I will ask my grandma if she can figure out any of the words, but I'm not sure she will manage to understand it.

It's just Americanized form of (Kosi kosi łapci). You can find it here on this forum under kids' rhymes or nursery rhymes in one of the older threads. Everyone that ever asked for this always mangled the words beyond recognition but they all asked for the same song. If you can't find it here you can [mamalisa.com/?t=es&p=672&c=70] - here, with explanation.
