Well, I'm gonna tell you a story about a big ol' man
So sit down on your daddie's knee
They say the blues came out from the countryside
And it landed on the city of hot swing
Well, this Kansas City's Shouter rocked the earth
Well, when he got the blues he got a rockin' chair
And when he screamed and howled he buried a whole big band
He stomped wildly upon the floor to shake and rattle their souls
And got'em gigglin' and wigglin' from head to toes
Come out at this house, have no fear
Real Boss is here
All the cats were jivin' and movin'
They had a jumpin' jubilee time
Up and up and away, we're gonna fly all day
Ride around with all the hips in town
Well, this big ol' Shouter could come out from the bar
And dig boogie woogie with a beat
Flip 'n flop, jump 'n joy, every night let 'em roll
Like a big wheel in a cotton field
Well, this Kansas City's Shouter rocked the earth
All the cats were jivin' and movin'
They had a jumpin' jubilee time
Up and up and away, we're gonna fly all day
Ride around with all the hips in town
Well, this big ol' Shouter could come out from the bar
And dig boogie woogie with a beat
Flip 'n flop, jump 'n joy, every night let 'em roll
Like a big wheel in a cotton field
Well, this Kansas City's Shouter rocked the earth
Well, this Kansas City's Shouter rocked the earth
One more time
Well, this Kansas City's Shouter rocked the earth
