Song Of The Week - Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey

[zipp]

It shouldn't be a let-down.  If you're bidding your baby "bye-bye" and asking "what's been wrong with you", then changing the way you address her from "gal" to "pal" makes a lot of sense if you're using the word pal as a derogatory term.  I think that's what Paul did here.

Yeah, I'd never thought of that.

But how many girls does this guy have?

One here and one in Kansas City?

And he's going to bring back the one in KC to meet the one here saying,'Don't worry, babe, this is my ex-girlfriend. She was my gal but now we're just pals'?

If you ask me, he's looking for trouble.

[Hello Goodbye]

But how many girls does this guy have?

Just a one-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight nine.   



Too Many Women Blues

Willie Lane   1949


I've got so many women, I don't hardly know who to choose
I've got so many women, I don't hardly know who to choose
Boy, I wake up every morning, I got too many women blues

I've got a little bitty woman, she lives down in Arkansas
Little bitty woman, she lives down in Arkansas
She's pigeon-toed, she's bow-legged, she got dimples all in her jaw

Some red, some yella, some is black, some is teasin' brown
Some is red, some is yella, some is black, some is teasin' brown
You can't tell much about 'em, 'cause they're scattered all over town

Five on the South Side, seven on the East Side
Nine on the West Side, North Side, too
Ten out in Oak Lawn, 'leven on Sixth Avenue
I've got twelve in the Bottom, thirteen in TCU

Too many women, they weren't good
