(I’ve Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo Lyrics

A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H
I got a gal (in Kalamazoo)
Don't wanna 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)

I'm gonna send a wire
Hoppin' on a flyer
(Leavin' today)
Am I dreamin'?
I can hear her screamin'
("Hiya Mr. 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 hurryin' to
(I'm goin' to Michigan to see the sweetest gal)
In Kalamazoo (zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo, Kalamazoo)

K (K)
A (A)
(L-A-M-A-Z-O-O-O)
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-zoo-zoo)
(Zoo)
Kalamazoo

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
