Kansas City는 1952년 Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller 가 만든 Ryhthm and Blues곡이다. Little Willie Littlefield에 의해 동년 KC Lovin'이란 제목으로 발표되었지만 크게 성공하지 못했다.
1959년 Wilbert Harrison이 Kansa City란 곡명으로 발표한 이 곡은 5. 18과 5. 25 2주간 빌보드 챠트 1위에 오르고 이후 R&B의 대표적 명곡으로 수많은 뮤지션들에 의해 리메이크되고 있다. 이 곡에서 Wild Jimmy Spruill의 기타연주는 현재까지도 최고 걸작의 하나로 평가받고 있다.

I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one
I'm gonna be standing on the corner
Twelfth Street and Vine
I'm gonna 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 goin' just the same
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one
(guitar solo)
Now if I stay with that woman
I know I'm gonna die
Gotta find a brand new baby
That's the reason why
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one
Alternate lyrics:
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some
I'll be standing on the corner
On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine
I'm gonna be standing on the corner
On the corner of 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 gonna get there just the same
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some
I'm gonna pack my clothes
Leave at the break of dawn
I'm gonna pack my clothes
Everybody will be sleeping
Nobody will know where I've gone
Cause if I stay in town
I know I'm gonna die
Gotta find a friendly city
And that's the reason why
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some
