paroles de chanson 04. Kansas City - Portia Nelson, Wilton Clary, Male Chorus

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 theirselves
Almost ev'ry time I took a walk
I put my ear to a Bell Telephone
And a strange woman started in to talk
"What next?" "Yeah, what?" "What 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
You 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 burleycue
Fer fifty cents you c'n see a dandy show
"Girls?" One of the gals was fat and pink and purty
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 begun to peel
She proved that ev'rything 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
