[Dixielandjazz] Re: Kansas City Kitty

[Bill Gunter]

I sing it as:

"I just layed a chill on the famous Diamond Lil
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me.
All the folks in New Rochelle said 'I ain't done right by Nell,'
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me.
I gave Georgia Brown my watch case Sunday
And I gave Louisville Lu the works on Monday
I pass up those queens like I pass up Boston Beans
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me.

Of course I could be wrong.

Cheers,

Bill Gunter
