Kansas City Lyrics

Kansas City lyrics

Will:

I got to Kansas City on a Frid'y

By Sattidy I larned a thing
or two

'Coz up to then I didn't have an idy

Of whut the modren
world was comin' to!

I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by theirsel's

Almost ev'ry time I tuk a walk.

'Nen I put my ear to a Bell Telephone


And a strange womern started in to talk!

Man 1:

To you?

Man 1:

Whut next!

Men:

Yeak whut!

Will:

Whut
next?

Gather 'round!

Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City

They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!

They went and built a
skyscraper seven stories high,

About as high as a buildin' orta grow.

Ev'rythin's like a dream in Kansas City,

It's better than a magic
lantern show!

Y' c'n turn the radiator on 

Whenever you want some
heat.

With ev'ry kind o' comfort 

Ev'ry house is all complete.

You c'n walk to privies in the rain 

And never wet your feet!

They've gone about as fur as they c'n go, 

Men:

Yes sir!

They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!

Will:

Ev'rythin's up
to date in Kansas City

They've gone about as fur as they c'n go! 

They got a big theayter they call a burleeque.

Fer fifty cents you c'n
see a dandy show.

Man 1:

Gals?

Will:

One of the gals was
fat and pink and pretty,

As round above as she was round below.

I
could swear that she was padded 

From her shoulder to her heel,

But
latter in the second act 

When she began to peel

She proved that
ev'rythin' she had was absolutely real!

She went about as fur as she
could go, 

Men:

Yes sir!

She went about as fur as she could
go!
