Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little foxes there, I'm gonna get me one

Looka here, I'll be standing on the corner of 12th street and Vine
Standing on the corner of 12th street and vine
With my Kansas City, baby, and a taste of cherry wine

Well, I might take a train or I believe I'd drive a plane
If I have to walk, I'm goin' there just the same
Kansas City here I come
Got some crazy little foxes there, I'm gonna get me one

And if I have to stay with my baby, I believe I'm gonna die
Gotta find a new woman and that's the reason why
I'm gone, Kansas City here I come
Got some crazy little foxes there, I'm gonna get me...

I'm goin', said that I'm goin'
I'm goin', said that I'm goin'
I'm goin', said that I'm goin'
Can't stand the strain, the heart can't bare the pain
I'm goin', said that I'm goin'
I'm goin', yeah, said that I'm goin'
I'm goin', yeah, said that I'm goin'
Clap your hands, clap your hands
Little bit louder, little bit louder
Ain't that a groove? Ain't that a groove? Yeah
Ain't that a groove? Yeah
