I got a gal in Kalamazoo
Don’t want to 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, zoo)

I’m gonna send away, hoppin’ on a plane, leavin’ today
Am I dreamin’? I can hear her screamin’
"Hiya, Mr. Jackson"
Everything’s OK, 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 hurryin’ to
I’m goin’ to Michigan to see the sweetest gal in Kalamazoo
(Zoo, zoo)
(Zoo, zoo, zoo, Kalamazoo)
K (K)

L-A-M-A-Z-O
(Oh, oh, oh, oh what a gal, a real pipperoo)
(We’re goin’ to Michigan to see the sweetest gal in Kalamazoo)
(Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo)
(Kalamazoo!!)

Bringin' a little swing into the lives of DU'ers everywhere...

2. Thanks, Book Lover...

Nice little ear-worm for the late afternoon! :D :thumbsup:


...but on the Glenn Miller/Tex Beneke version I had it was "I'm gonna send a wire, hoppin' on a flyer, leavin' today."

3. Yes, my tape has that version also

but I have a CD with these lyrics... which were the top google find. That's one of the great things about swing music - so many versions and artists of the same piece of music. Hey, kinda like punk!
