Kansas City (from "Oklahoma!") Lyrics
Kansas City (堪萨斯城) - Oklahoma Orchestra/Jay Blackman
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 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 women started in to talk
What next
What next
Everything'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
Everything'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
Everything'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
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 everything's 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
She went about as fur as she could go
Yes sir
She went about as fur as she could go
