Kansas City (stereo)
~ Recording by Gene Nelson, Charlotte Greenwood, Men's Chorus
Annotation
For the 1955 motion picture, the song lyrics underwent minor changes to pass film censorship. In the original Broadway musical, the character of Will Parker sings:
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel.
But later in the second act, when she began to peel,
She proved that everything she had was absolutely real!
For the film, these were changed to:
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel.
But then she started dancing and her dancing made me feel
That every single thing she had was absolutely real!
