[Chorus (Choir singing):]
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City? (Do you know the way to Kansas City?)
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City? (Do you know the way to Kansas City?)
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City? (Do you know the way to Kansas City?)
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City? (Do you know the way to Kansas City?)

[Van singing:]
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?

Train down to St. Louis in Missouri
Over to the city there, you know that one
Where the farmer's daughter digs the farmer's son
Dig your Charlie Parker
Basie and Young
Witherspoon and Jay McShann
They will come
Oooowoooowoooo

[Chorus (Van and choir in background):]
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?
Excuse me do you know the way to Kansas City?

Lady Liberty in waiting
You know she lights the way
Her name is Billie, she's a Holiday
And the city is eternal hey, can't you see?
It's inside of you and it's inside of me
Oooowoooowoooo

[Chorus (Van and choir in background):]
You know, you know the way to Kansas City?
You know, you know the way to Kansas City?
You know, you know the way to Kansas City?
You know, you know the way to Kansas City ?
You know...the way to Kansas City
You know...the way to Kansas City
Wild Thing

You know the way to Kansas City [Choir only]
Thank you Man [Van]
You know the way to Kansas City

You know the way to Kansas City [Van and choir]
Hit it [Van]
You know...the way to Kansas City
You know...the way to Kansas City
You know...the way to Kansas City
You know...the way to Kansas City
Baby can't you sing it one time [Van]
