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
I'll be standing on the corner of 12th Street and Vine
With my Kansas City baby, and a taste of Golden Star wine

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

[Break]

Said that I'm goin', said that I'm there
Can't save the pain, my heart can't bare the strain
Said that I'm there, oh no, oh no, oh no and oh no

James Brown, ladies and gentlemen, James Brown
James Brown, ladies and gentlemen, James Brown
And don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, James Brown will be back
