Rodgers And Hammerstein - Kansas City lyrics
rate me[Gene]<br />
I got to Kansas City on a Frid'y.<br />
By Sattidy I l'arned a thing or two.<br />
For up to then I didn't have an idy<br />
Of whut the modren world was comin' to.<br />
I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by theirsel's<br />
Almost ev'ry time I tuck a walk.<br />
Nen I put my ear to a Bell Telephone,<br />
And a strange womern started in to talk!<br />
<br />
Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City.<br />
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!<br />
They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high~<br />
About as high as a buildin' orta grow.<br />
Ev'rythin's like a dream in Kansas City.<br />
It's better than a magic-lantern show.<br />
Y' c'n turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat,<br />
With ev'ry kind o' comfort ev'ry house is all complete,<br />
You c'n walk to privies in the rain an' never wet yer feet~<br />
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!<br />
<br />
[Chorus]<br />
Yes, sir!<br />
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!<br />
<br />
[Gene]<br />
Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City.<br />
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!<br />
They got a big theayter they call a burleekew.<br />
Fer fifty cents you c'n see a dandy show.<br />
One of the gals was fat and pink and pretty,<br />
As round above as she was round below.<br />
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel,<br />
But later in the second act, when she began to peel,<br />
She proved that ev'rythin' she had was absolutely real~<br />
She went about as fur as she could go!<br />
<br />
[Chorus]<br />
Yes, sir!<br />
She went about as fur as she could go
