Kansas City Kitty
Verse:
1. |Chicago   Charlie was a  good| time|   romeo.|
|He'd love a   gal then whisper   goodbye,   cheerio.
Just like Napoleon  love got Charlie   too.// Here's
How Chicago    Charlie said he   met his Water-   loo.//

2.  |Chicago   Charlie's singin'   "No/ more/   wedding bells/!"/
|He's got a   sore throat singin'    "No/ more/   baby yells.!"?
|They wake the   neighbors||    when they start to   cry.// And
Charlie has to   pacity them   with this lulla-   by.///

Chorus:
1.  I left Frisco   Kate,// swingin'    on that Golden   Gate,// when
Kansas City   Kitty smiled at    me.///    ////
I left Ma and    Pa/// out in    Omaha-ha-   ha,// when
Kansas City    Kitty smiled at    me.///    ////
--------------------------------------------------
She comes from Mis-  souri and she   showed///  me///
Like a Texas    steer she Buffa-   loed///    me.///  
--------------------------------------------------
Every Jim and   Jack// got the    well known Hacken-   sack,// when
Kansas City    Kitty smiled at    me.///   /|||

2.  I [ just played the  chp] for the famous Diamond   [Lil ]// when
Kansas City   Kitty smiled at    me.///   /// While
Folks in Nouro-   shal say "He ain't done right by Nell,"// when
Kansas City   Kitty smiled at    me.///   ////
----------------------------------
I gave Georgia   Brown my watch case   Sun-///   day///
I gave Lula Ba-   loo the works on   Mon-///   day.///
----------------------------------
I passed up those   queens// like   ketchup Boston    beans,// when
Kansas City   Kitty smiled at    me.///   ///|
