Lyrics
A B C D E F G H
I got a gal in Kalamazoo
Don’t wanna boast, but 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 a wire, hoppin’ on a flyer, leavin’ today
Am I dreamin’ I can hear her screamin’
“Hya Mister Jackson” ev’rything’s
O K-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O
Oh, what a gal, a real pipperoo
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
A B C D E F G H
I got a gal in Kalamazoo
Don’t wanna boast, but 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 a wire, hoppin’ on a flyer, leavin’ today
Am I dreamin’ I can hear her screamin’
“Hya Mister Jackson” ev’rything’s
O K-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O
Oh, what a gal, a real pipperoo
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! Kalamazoo
