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 modern world was comin' to I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by theirsel's Almost every time I took a walk 'Nen I put my ear to a Bell Telephone And a strange woman started in to talk Say you? What next? Yeah what? Everythin's up to date in Kansas City They've gone about as fur as they can go They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high About as high as a buildin' orta grow Everythin's like a dream in Kansas City It's better than a magic lantern show Y' 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 fur as they can go Yes, sir! They've gone about as fur as they can go Everythin's up to date in Kansas City They've gone about as fur as they can go! They got a big theater they call a burleycue For fifty cents you can 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 later in the second act when she began to peel She proved that everything 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
