Johnny Paycheck Lyrics
"Kansas City"

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

We're goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here we come
We're goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here we come
They got some crazy little women
And we're gonna get us one.

We go on and stand on the corner of 12th street in line
We'll be standin' on the corner of 12th in line
With our Kansas City baby
And our bottle of Kansas City wine.

We might take a train we might take a plane
But if I have to walk I'm gonna get there just the same
We're goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here we come
They got some crazy little women
And we're gonna get us one.

Well, if we don't have these women we know we're gonna die
Gotta find a brand new baby and that's the reason why
We're goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here we come
Got some crazy little fellows
And we're a gonna get us one.

Well if we don't have these women we know we're gonna die
Gotta find a brand new baby and that's the reason why
We're goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here we come
Got some crazy little fellows
And we're a gonna get us one...
