Kansas City

I got to Kansas City on a Frid'y

By Sattidy I larned a thing or two

For up to then I didn't have an idy

Of what 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

To you?

What next

Yeah what

What 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

Yes sir!

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

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 burleycue

Fer fifty cents you c'n see a dandy show

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 then she started dancin'

And her dancin' made me feel

Every single thing she had was absolutely real

She went about as fur as she could go

Yes sir!

She went about as fur as she could go

*Instrumental*

Oh, that's about as fur as I can go

Yes sir!

And that's about as fur as she can go
