Goodbye Kansas City Lyrics

[Intro]
Well, goodbye, Kansas City
New York City, here we come
Well, goodbye, Kansas City
New York City, here we come
I got my crazy little babe
And boy, she is a pretty one

[Verse]
We're goin' to the Apollo
And we'll dig the crazy show
We're goin' to the Apollo
And we'll dig the crazy show
I got my crazy little babe
And boys, we're gonna have some fun

[Bridge 1]
Well, we'll stop in the baby grand
Dig those cats on Bandstand
From there to a warm café
Wherе the food is okay

[Chorus]
Well, goodbye, Kansas City
Nеw York City, here we come
I got my crazy little babe
And boy, she is a pretty one
(And I'm not lyin' either)

[Guitar Solo]

(Aw, but you know, yeah)

[Bridge 2]
While I was in Kansas City
I met this little girl
And man, oh, man
She's out of this world

[Chorus]
Well, goodbye, Kansas City
New York City, here we come
I got my crazy little babe
And boy, she is a pretty one

[Outro]
I got my crazy little babe
And boy, she is a pretty one
I got my crazy little babe
And boy, she is a pretty one

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
