作曲：Richard Rodgers

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 whut 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

Whut next

Yeah whut

Whut next

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 burleeque

Fer fifty cents you c'n see a dandy show

Gals

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 ev'rythin' 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
