Kansas City Songtext
von Rodgers & Hammerstein
Kansas City Songtext
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 ever wet your feet!
They've gone about as far as they can go
They′ve gone about as far as they can go!
Everything′s up to date in Kansas City (I just got back myself!)
They've gone about as far as they can go!
They got a big theater they call a burleque
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! Right
She went about as far as she could go
She went about as far as she could go!
We got to Kansas City on a Friday (This is too coincidental)
By Saturday we learned a thing or two
For up to then we didn′t have an idea
Of what the modern world was comin' to
Everything′s up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as far as they can go
They went and built a skyscraper one, two, three, four
Five, six, seven stories high
About as high as a building oughta grow
Everything′s like a dream in Kansas City (Everything is like a dream) (We got there just last Friday)
It's better than a magic lantern show (Gee, I had no idea)
You can turn the radiator on
Whenever you want some heat
With every single modern kind of comfort and convenience
Every house is all complete
You can walk to privies in the rain
And never get your feet wet!
They've gone about as far as they can go
They′ve gone about as far as they can go!
Where you been?
I ain′t sayin'!
Up till Friday, we didn′t have an idea
Kansas City's gone about as far as any city oughta go!
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 ever wet your feet!
They've gone about as far as they can go
They′ve gone about as far as they can go!
Everything′s up to date in Kansas City (I just got back myself!)
They've gone about as far as they can go!
They got a big theater they call a burleque
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! Right
She went about as far as she could go
She went about as far as she could go!
We got to Kansas City on a Friday (This is too coincidental)
By Saturday we learned a thing or two
For up to then we didn′t have an idea
Of what the modern world was comin' to
Everything′s up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as far as they can go
They went and built a skyscraper one, two, three, four
Five, six, seven stories high
About as high as a building oughta grow
Everything′s like a dream in Kansas City (Everything is like a dream) (We got there just last Friday)
It's better than a magic lantern show (Gee, I had no idea)
You can turn the radiator on
Whenever you want some heat
With every single modern kind of comfort and convenience
Every house is all complete
You can walk to privies in the rain
And never get your feet wet!
They've gone about as far as they can go
They′ve gone about as far as they can go!
Where you been?
I ain′t sayin'!
Up till Friday, we didn′t have an idea
Kansas City's gone about as far as any city oughta go!
