Kansas City Lyrics
Kansas City - Gene Nelson/Charlotte Greenwood
Written by：Oscar Hammerstein Ii/Richard Rodgersatrick Byrne
I got to Kansas City on a Friday
By Saturday I learned a thing or two
'Cause up to then I didn't have an idea
Of what the modren world was coming to
I counted twenty gas-buggies going by themselves
Almost every time I took a walk
Then I put my ear to a bell telephone
And a strange woman started in to talk
What next
What next
Everything's up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as far as they can go
They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high
About as high as a building oughta grow
Everything's like a dream in Kansas City
It's better than a magic lantern show
You can turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat
With every kind of comfort
Every house is all complete
You can walk to privies in the rain
And never wet your feet
They've gone about as far as they can go
Yes sir
They've gone about as far as they can go
Everything's up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as far as they can go
They got a big theatre they call a burlesque
For fifty cents you can see a dandy show
One of the girls was fat and pink and pretty
As round above as she was round below
I could swear that she was padded
From her shoulders to her heel
But then she started dancing
And her dancing made me feel
That every single thing she had was absolutely real
She went about as far as she could go
Yes sir
She went about as far as she could go
And that's about as far as I can go
Yes sir
And that's about as far as she can go
