Kansas City Kitty lyrics

[Verse 1]
I left Frisco Kate, swingin' on the Golden Gate
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me
I left Ma and Pa, out in Omaha
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me
She came from Missouri and she showed me
Like a Texas steer she buffaloed me
Every Joe and Jack got the well known Hackensack
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I left Tiger Lil', and a month's supply of pills
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me
I left eau de Nash, with a half a pound of hash
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me
I left all my golden opportunities
Did I finish this verse, oh, no, no, no
So I'll end right here, grinnin' ear to ear
Since Kansas City Kitty smiled at me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I left Tiger Lil', and a month's supply of pills
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me
I left Uncle Sam and the route to Vietnam
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me
Left my wife and dog and kids and got lost
Friends keep telling me I made a bold move
I don't give a damn, I'm happy as a clam
Since Kansas City Kitty smiled at me
