Subject: Lyr Add: KANSAS CITY KITTY (Donaldson, Leslie) From: Jim Dixon Date: 10 Dec 05 - 07:59 PM RedHotJazz.com has several recordings of this song, all made in 1929, which you can download: Noble Sissle and His Orchestra (vocal by Billy Banks?), The Original Memphis Five (vocal by George White?), and Harry Reser and His Orchestra (vocal by Tom Stacks) all use the same lyrics: KANSAS CITY KITTY Walter Donaldson / Edgar Leslie I left Frisco Kate Swingin' on that 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. Ev'ry Jim and Jack Got the well known Hackensack When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me. The Coon Sanders Nighthawks Orchestra (vocal by Joe L. Sanders) uses somewhat different lyrics: I left Frisco Kate Swingin' on that Golden Gate When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me; And the folks in New Rochelle Said, "Y'ain't done right by Nell" When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me. I gave Georgia Brown my watch-case Sunday, And I gave Louisville Lou the works on Monday. Ev'ry Jill and Jack Got the well known Hackensack When Kansas City Kitty smiled at me. A version by The Cotton Pickers is instrumental only. |
