the Beatles were on their way to play
though their tour had no dates
Finley put his biggest wig on for fun,
opened his checkbook real wide
said no, all for the Prince, could not I?
Rock and roll, Charlie, oh,
the Beatles are comin' to KC town
for all you layin' down that sweet,
Rock and roll, Charlie, oh,
So Charles rolled up his baseball sleeves
Made a historic record offer with dollars
And with a stroke of his mighty pen
Ryan's whole boys gave out a holler
Kansas City, here we come
They have some crazy Beatles fans
And we're gonna have some fun
Hey, hey, Charlie, oh, you're the man
So little advance notice of the concert
Tickets needed much more time to sell
Charles Finley went in the big time red
But Kansas City fans were in a spell
The Beatles really cranked up the sound
a hundred and fifty grand
September 64 was that special time
Charles kept his promise to the KC fans
Rock and roll, Charlie, oh
the Beatles are coming to KC town
Rock and roll, Charlie, oh,
your checkbook made the boys smile
Rock and roll, Charlie, oh, for Casey,
Rock and roll, Charlie, oh,
the Beatles are comin' to Casey town
We're the yeah, yeah, yeah, all to hear
layin' down that sweet Baffour sound
Rock 'n 'roll Charlie -O,
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa Charlie -O
