lyrics

Get me Kansas City,
I’m high on the moon above,
Though my feet’s on the ground, I can’t hear no sound,
But the cooing of the doves.

Get me Kansas City,
Where the gals are fine and clean.
Their flaws are all hid and their hair’s always did,
If only in my dreams.

Just a drink from them fountains will keep this boy sane.
You only gotta get me home to the Paris of the plains.

Get me Kansas City,
Stack my chips to the chandelier.
Let them rollin’ bones be my new mansion home,
Not a siren do I hear.

Get me Kansas City,
I’m floatin’ on champagne.
Make it 50 on red,
Put that Sheriff to bed,
Let’s spin that big wheel again.

I’m taking my bite out of that ripe, little apple.
Getting’ me a jayhawker girl and getting to Frankie Wright’s Chapel.
You just gotta get me home to the town that I love.
Let all the politicians have Hell below,
The good Christians have Heaven above.

Get me Kansas City,
No other town’ll do.
I’m floating my raft on a river of graft
Right into Don’t Mind If I Do.

Get me Kansas City,
Drop the curtain on my blues.
I’ve made me a cape of old vermillion drapes,
I’m flying past a cheddar moon.

Somewhere between the AM country of yesteryear, the high and lonesome willow-whine of the ferociously stoned cosmic cowboy and the horny, rambunctiousness of '70s Brit-blues-rock resides D.T. Buffkin and his "honky tonk 'n' roll."
