Well, I went back to Kansas City
And Old Count Basie was gone, wow
I went back to Kansas City
Old Count Basie was gone, wow
It’s a mean old world
I hope he’s got a better home

Down on Eighteenth and Vine
Where Old Count Basie got his start
Down on Eighteenth and Vine
Where Old Count Basie got his start
Sure was a good-timer
Played piano from his heart

Then he went to California, that's right
And soon the news got around
They heart that sound
Yeah, he went back to California
Soon the news got around
And the girls jumped and shouted
Count Basie, the baddest man in town

~~~♫♫♫~~~

Well the last time I saw Count Basie
He was standing on Eighteenth and Vine
The last time I saw Count Basie
He was standing on Eighteenth and Vine
I’d love to tell the whole world
He sure was a friend of mine.
He was a friend of mine.
