Goin' to Kansas City

[Verse 1]

Let me tell all these men, what we mustn't do

Don't love a woman unless she says she loves you

She'll call you honey, she will call you pie

She will let things get away on the sly

[Chorus]

Then she'll move to Kansas City

She will move to Kansas City

She will move, honey and baby, why they don't like you?

[Verse 2]

I was wasted on Main Street, started down Beale

Lookin' for the girl they call Lucille

[Chorus]

We gon' move to Kansas City

We gon' move to Kansas City

We gon' move, baby, honey, why they don't like you?

[Verse 3]

I got one bulldog, two shep, and a greyhound

Three high yellas, two blacks and one brown

[Chorus]

We gon' move to Kansas City

We gon' move to Kansas City

We gon' move to Kansas City, baby, why they don't like you?

I'm gon' move to Kansas City

I'm gon' move to Kansas City

I'm gon' move, baby, honey why they don't like you?

[Verse 4]

My mama told me, papa told me too

Everybody granting you faith, Furry, ain't no friend to you

[Chorus]

You betta move to Kansas City

I'm gon' move to Kansas City

I'm gon' move to Kansas City, baby, why they don't like you?

[Verse 5]

It takes a rocking chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll

A brown skin woman to satisfy Furry so

[Chorus]

I'm gon' move to Kansas City

I'm gon' move to Kansas City

I'm gon' move, baby, honey, why they don't like you?

I'm gon' move to Kansas City

I'm gon' move to Kansas City

I'm gon' move to Kansas City, baby, why they don't like you?
