Well, I...

Laurey!

I'll come by for you

along around about sundown.

(TRAIN CHUGGING)

(DOG BARKING)

(BELL RINGING)

(CHATTERING)

What'd you do up at the

fair, Will? Bust any bones?

Aw, too smart for that. Just

made sure I landed on my head.

- Will Parker.

- Hi, Aunt Eller.

If you ain't got them fancy

lanterns for the Skidmore party,

- get back on that train.

- (LAUGHS)

- Here you are.

- You do any good in the steer ropin', Will?

Oh, I did pretty good.

I won prize money.

- That's my boy.

- I've got to get over to Ado Annie's.

Her pa said I could have her

if'n I was ever worth $50.

And I got that $50.

If Annie's pa keeps his promise,

we'll be dancin' at your wedding.

If'n he don't, I'll take her

right from under his nose.

Besides which, I won't give him

the present I brung for him.

Looky here, fellas, what I

got for Ado Annie's pa.

Excuse us, Aunt Eller. You hold

it up to your eye like this, see.

Then when you get a good look, you turn it

around at the top and the picture changes.

- Well, I'll be "sidegated. "

- They call it the Little Wonder.

Silly goats!

The hussy!

Ought to be ashamed of herself.

You too. How do you turn the

thing to see the other picture?

- Right at the top, Aunt Eller.

- Wait, I'm gettin' it.

(GASPS)

(LAUGHS)

I'm a good mind

to tell Annie on you.

Bet you carried on

plenty in Kansas City.

Well, I sure did see a lot of

things I never did see before.

I got to Kansas City on a Friday

By Saturday I learned

a thing or two

'Cause up to then

I didn't have an idy

Of what the modren world

was comin' to

I counted 20 gas buggies

goin' by theirselves

Almost every time I took a walk

And then I put my ear

to a Bell telephone

And a strange woman

started in to talk

- To you

- What next

- Yeah, what

- What next

Everything's up to date

in Kansas City

They've gone about

as "fur" as they can go

They went and built a

skyscraper seven stories high

'Bout as high as

a buildin' oughta grow

Everything's like a dream

in Kansas City

It's better

than a magic lantern show

You can turn the radiator on

whenever you want some heat

With every kind of comfort

every house is all complete

You can walk to privies in the

rain and never wet your feet

They've gone about as fur

as they can go

Yes, sir

They've gone about as fur as they can go

Everything's up to date

in Kansas City

They've gone about as fur

as they can go

They got a big theater

they call a bur-lee-que

- For 50 cents you can see a dandy show

- Gals

- One of the gals is fat and pink and pretty

- Aha!

As round above

as she was round below

I could swear that she was padded

from her shoulder to her heel
