Max’s Kansas City Lyrics by Jayne County

Max’s Kansas City 1976 & Beyond

0

Take a tip from me and get ready for the big parade
It's the place to be every night's a happy holiday
The kids are jumping around, everybody's doing loop de loop
Just a making the rounds like a speed freak in a telephone booth
The downstairs is packed and the groupies are all dressed up
Upstairs the New York Dolls are kickin' it out - looking tough
You've got a personality crisis baby
Down at Max's (Max's Kansas City)
All the boys are (Max's Kansas City), all the girls are (Max's Kansas City), all the stars are (Max's Kansas City), down at Max's
I see Patti Smith she's the Stagger Lee of rock and roll
She threw a seven and eleven and she always knows which hearts to hold
And I see Lou Reed and er Iggy Pop they're just a getting higher and higher
Give those boys one more drink and they're gonna set the place on fire
Go get 'em boys
The downstairs is packed and the groupies are all dressed up
Upstairs the New York Dolls are kickin' it out - looking tough
Bad girls - just a lookin' for a kiss
Down at Max's (Max's Kansas City)
All the boys are (Max's Kansas City), all the girls are (Max's Kansas City), all the stars are (Max's Kansas City), down at Max's
Blondie's all in a buzz she's on the cover of the New York Rocker
Dee Dee Ramone strips his bass to the bone, he's a blitzkrieg bopper
The Heartbreakers are gonna give you a taste of going steady with Pirate Love
And you better watch it because my Backstreet Boys are gonna rip you apart
Rip 'em up boys
The downstairs is packed and the groupies are all dressed up
Upstairs the New York Dolls are kickin' it out - looking tough
Trash, pick it up, you know where, that's right
Down at Max's (Max's Kansas City)
All the boys are (Max's Kansas City), all the girls are (Max's Kansas City), all the stars are (Max's Kansas City), down at Max's
Now I ain't talking about San Francisco
And I ain't talking about Los Angeles
And I ain't talking about Detroit City
I'm talking about New York City
Down at Max's Kansas City, baby (Max's Kansas City)
Hey, man what's happening?
Er, where are you going tonight?
Well I think I'm gonna go down to Max's and er check out a couple of rock and roll bands
Oh yeah, who's playing there these days?
Well there's er The Heartbreakers, Cherry Vanilla And Her Staten Island Band, Wayne County and the Backstreet Boys, The Fast, Pere Ubu, John Collins, Harry Toledo, Suicide, The Ramones, Blondie, The Dolls, Television, Talking Heads, August, [?], Mong ,The Poppees, The Marbles, The Planets, The Miamis, Just Water, Tuff Darts, Day Old Bread, Richard Hell, Lance Loud and the Mumps, Another Pretty Face, and Mink DeVille, and phew
And oh yeah, oh yeah they got this new group that everybody's talking about called the Psychotic Frogs
Wait just minute there's just one more thing I forgot to tell you
You better not forget to bring your masquerade mask and your er ego trip because you're gonna need it when you go down to Max's Kansas City, baby
That's right
