A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I got a gal in Kalamazoo
Don’t wanta boast but I know she’s the toast of Kalamazoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo
Years have gone by, my, my, how she grew
I liked her looks when I carried her books in Kalamazoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo
I’m gonna send away, hopping on a plane (train), leaving today
And my dreamin’. I can hear her screamin’
Hi-ya, Mr Jackson, everything’s OK-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O
Oh, what a gal, a real pipparoo
I’ll make my bid for that freckle-faced kid I’m hurrying to
I’m goin’ to Michigan to see the sweetest gal in Kalamazoo
Zoo-zoo, zoo-zoo-zoo
Kalamazoo
K-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O-O
Oh, I gotta gal, a real pipparoo
We’re going to Michigan to see the sweetest girl in Kalamazoo
Zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-za-zoo-za-zoo-za-zoo-zoo
Kalamazoo
Kalamazoo. The second most liberal city in Michigan.
Second only to Ann Arbor but they’ll keep tryin.
Doesn’t get any better than hearing Tex Beneke backed by Glenn Miller. Now that was music.
