- 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!
