Kansas City - Wilbert Harrison (1959)

I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come

I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come

They got a crazy way of loving there

And I'm gonna get me one

I'm gonna be standing on the corner

On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine

I'm gonna be standing on the corner

On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine

With me Kansas City baby

And a bottle of Kansas City wine

Well I might take a rain

I might take a plane, but if I have to walk

I'm gonna get there just the same

I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come

They got a crazy way of loving there 

And I'm gonna get me one

I'm gonna pack my clothes

Leave at the break of dawn

I'm gonna pack my clothes

Everybody will be sleeping

Nobody will know where I've gone

Cause if I stay in town

I know I'm gonna die

Gotta find a friendly city

And that's the reason why

I'm going to Kansas City

Kansas City here I come

They got a crazy way of loving there

And I'm gonna get me some
