It's a blindfold kick back type of a game
called the Kansas City Shuffle
Whereas you look left, they fall right
into the Kansas City Shuffle
It's a "they think-you think you don't know"
type of Kansas City Hustle
Where you take your time
Wait your turn and hang them up and
out to dry

Chorus And if that don't play

It's a shake down, switch, arrive in town
type of Kansas City Shuffle
gotta play both sides and let it ride
on the Kansas City Shuffle
Now the tables turned, the lesson's learned
you gotta earn yourself some trouble
revenge like this, never sweet
you got yourself a long ride home

Chorus And if that don't play
