INTRO
I woke up this morning, feeling bad, thought about the good times I oncet [sic] have had
CHORUS: I'm gon' move to Kansas City, I'm gon' move to Kansas City
I'm gon' move, baby, honey, where they don't 'low you
My mother told me, daddy told me too, "Everybody grins in your face, son, ain't no friend to you."
CHORUS: You oughta move to Kansas City, you oughta move to Kansas City
You oughta move to Kansas City, baby, honey, where they don't 'low you
I've got me a bulldog, shepherd and two greyhounds, two high yellas, three blacks and one brown
CHORUS: We gon' move to Kansas City, we gon' move to Kansas City
We gon' move, baby, uh-honey, where they don't 'low you
It takes a rocking chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll, nice-lookin' teasin' brown to satisfy my soul
CHORUS: Then I'll move to Kansas City, then I'll move to Kansas City
I'm gon' move to Kansas City, baby, honey, where they don't 'low you
T is for Texas, T for Tennessee, boll weevils got to Mississippi and the women wants me
CHORUS: I'm gon' move to Kansas City, I'm gon' move to Kansas City
I'm gon' move, baby, uh-honey, where they don't 'low you
You can always tell when your good girl want to flirt, want a pair of red slippers to match that old mangy skirt
CHORUS: Then she'll move to Kansas City, then she'll move to Kansas City
Then she'll move, baby, uh-honey, where they don't 'low you
