Well I've been to Kansas City
Girls and everything is really alright
Yes, I've been to Kansas City
Girls and everything is really alright
Yeah the boys jump and swing
And to the broad daylight

Yes I dreamed last night
I was standin' on 18th and vine
Yes I dreamed last night
I was standin' on 18th and vine
I shook hands with Piney Brown
An' I could hardly keep from cryin'

Now come to me baby
I want to tell why I'm in love with you
Please come to me baby
I want to tell you why I'm in love with you
Because you understan'
Everything I do

I want to watch you baby
When the tears roll down your cheeks
Yes, I want to watch you baby
When the tears roll down your cheeks
I wanna hold your hand
Tell you that your kind can't be beat
Tell you that your kind can't be beat
