Song Lyrics

Ah, Kansas City
Gonna get my baby back home
Yeah, yeah
I'm goin' to Kansas city
Gonna get my baby back home
Yeah, yeah
Well, it's a long, long, time
Since my baby's been gone

Ah, Kansas City
Gonna get my baby on time
Yeah, yeah
I'm goin' to Kansas City
Gonna get my baby one time
Yeah, yeah
It's just a one, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, wa-hoo

Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hey, baby (hey, baby)
Ooh, now, girl
(Yeah, girl)
I said you're no clown
(No clown)
Now, now, now, now
Tell me, baby
What's been wrong with you

Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hey, now, baby (hey, baby)
Ooh, now, girl
(Yeah, girl)
I said you're no clown
(No clown)
Now, now, now, now
Tell me, baby
What's been wrong with you

Well, I'll say bye
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
Ooh, so long
(So long, so long, so long)
Bye, bye, baby, I'm gone
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
Yeah, I said
Bye, bye, baby
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye now, bye
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
Ooh, so long
(So long, so long, so long)
Bye, bye, baby, I'm gone
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
