Verse:
Chicago Charlie was a good time Romeo,
He'd love a gal, then whisper, "goodbye, cheerio."
Just like Napoleon, Love got Charlie, too,
Here's how Chicago Charlie said he met his Waterloo.
 
Chorus:
I left Frisco Kate, Swingin' on the Golden Gate,
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me!
I left Ma and Pa, out in Omaha-ha-ha,
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me!
She comes from Missouri and she showed me,
Like a Texas steer she buffaloed me;
Evry' Jim and Jack Got the well known Hackensack,
When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me!
