“Since you’re the delegate from Kansas
         Dm      A        Dm
Will you kindly take the floor

And what is Kansas for?”

Dm        F        A
Kansas is for the farmer
            Dm       F      A
We stand behind the little man
               Dm       F   Bb
And we need a firehouse in Topeka
   Bdim    A7     Dm
So help us if you can”
