Kitty from Kansas City
Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees Lyrics

I have traveled everywhere in most every state;
I've gone to many places, in nearly every state in the US.

I've met girlies here and there and I think they're great.
I've met a lot of girls, and I think they're awesome.

But there's one that pleased me and squeezed me and teased me,
Out of all the girls I've met, there's one that stood out. She was very good at charming and flirting with me.

Down old Missouri way.
This girl was in Missouri.

Her name was Kitty, from Kansas City,
The girl I'm talking about is named Kitty, and she's from Kansas City.

Sure was a pity she wasn't pretty,
Unfortunately, Kitty wasn't very attractive.

Hey, Hey she's not hard to see,
But despite that, she's very noticeable and easy to spot.

She weighs two-forty three,
Kitty is quite heavy, weighing 243 pounds.

I hope she doesn't get much fatter,
I hope she doesn't gain any more weight.

But if she does, it doesn't matter;
But honestly, it wouldn't really bother me either way.

Kitty from Kansas City,
That's who she is, Kitty from Kansas City.

Now there's a girl that I adore,
Despite her less attractive appearance and larger size, I really like her.

She's so dumb, she doesn't know a thing,
Kitty isn't very intelligent and doesn't know much.

She thinks that July the Fourth is an English King!
She's so clueless that she thinks July 4th refers to an English king.

I love her, I love her, that's easy to see
But despite her lack of looks and smarts, I really love her.

It's Kansas City Kitty for me.
I've made up my mind, and Kitty from Kansas City is the girl for me.

Her name was Kitty, from Kansas City,
I just need to emphasize that I'm talking about this one girl, named Kitty from Kansas City.

Sure was a pity she wasn't pretty,
Again, it's such a shame that she isn't more attractive.

Hey, Hey I loved her just because,
But the fact is, I love her anyway.

She's not the girl she was,
And she's not the girl she used to be, for one reason or another.

How she can cook, and she can wash,
Regardless, she's really good at cooking and doing laundry.

But when she starts to love,
And when she falls in love, things start to get a little complicated.

Oh, Gosh!
Oh my goodness!

It's Kitty from Kansas City,
Regardless, she's still that same girl, Kitty from Kansas City.

Now there's a girl that I adore,
And no matter what, I still really like her.

She's so dumb, her brain is in a whirl,
Though I can't deny that she isn't the brightest bulb in the box.

Why she thinks that Babe Ruth, is a chorus girl!
She's so clueless that she thinks Babe Ruth is a chorus girl!

I love her, I love her, and I'm up a tree,
But despite all of this, I still really love her, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be with her.
