Will:
I
got
to
Kansas
City
on
a
Frid'y
By
Saturdy
I
learnt
a
thing
or
two
For
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
womin
Started
in
to
talk!
Aunt
Eller:
Whut
next!?
Will's
friends:
Yeah
whut!?
Will:
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'
oughta
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,
Everyone:
Yes
sir!
They've
gone
about
as
fur
as
they
c'n
go!
Will:
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.
One
of
the
men
Girls?!
Will:
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
ev'rythin'
she
had
was
absolutely
real!
She
went
about
as
fur
as
she
could
go,
Everyone:
Yes
sir!
She
went
about
as
fur
as
she
could
go!
(Will
begins
doing
the
two-step
alone)
One
of
the
men:
Watcha
doin'
Will?
Will:
It's
called
the
two
step!
It's
all
they're
doin'
nowadays.
The
Waltz
is
through.
Catch
on?
Of
course
they
don't
do
it
alone,
come
on
Aunt
Eller!
(Will
grabs
Aunt
Eller
and
they
dance
for
a
while)
Aunt
Eller:
(falling
back
into
her
place,
exhausted)
And
that's
about
as
Fur
as
I
c'n
go!
Everyone:
Yes
sir!
And
that's
about
as
fur
as
she
c'n
go!
(Will
begins
to
do
ragtime
alone)
Another
man:
Watcha
doin'
now,
Will?
Will:
It's
called
Ragtime,
seen
a
couple
fellers
doin'
it.
(All
men
and
a
few
passing
women
stop
to
dance
for
a
while.)
Everyone
(While
still
dancing):
And
that's
about
as
fur
as
we
c'n
go!
