 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 some.

 I'll 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 my Kansas City baby
 And a bottle of Kansas City wine.

 Well I might take a train
 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 some.

 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.
