Everyone Knows The Words To Kansas City

"Kansas City," written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, was first performed in 1952 by Little Willie Littlefield at the Orchid Room at 12th and Vine Streets. It wasn't until 7 years later that Wilbert Harrison turned the song into a hit, becoming by far his most famous track.

The original title was "K.C. Lovin'."

"Kansas City" song lyrics

"I'm going to Kansas City.
Kansas City, here I come.
I'm going to Kansas City.
Kansas City, here I come.
They've got crazy little women there
And I'm going to get me one.

I'm going to be standing on the corner--Twelfth Street and Vine.
I'm going to be standing on the corner--Twelfth Street and Vine.
With my Kansas City baby
and a bottle of Kansas City wine.

Well, I might take a train,
I might take a plane,
But if I have to walk I'm going just the same--
Going to Kansas City.
Kansas City, here I come.
They've got crazy little women there
And I'm going to get me one."
