Lyrics:

Manhattan, Kansas
manhattan, Kansas Ain't No Place To Have A Baby
when You Got No Man To Give It His Last Name
and My Folks Back In Manhattan Didn't Want Me Or My Bundle
so I Took My Child And Caught An Evening Train.
and I Found A Job In Denver Washing Dishes In A Diner
at Least It Buys My Baby Milk To Drink
he Once Told Me I Was Pretty But The Only Ring It Got Me
was The Ring Of Grease That Runs Around The Sink
(Chorus)
yes, I Lay Beside Him Gentle
'˜cause He Told Me That He Loved Me
and He Made Me Dance Before The Music Played
but At Least I Didn't Beg Him
i'd Rather Wash His Dishes
'˜cause It Makes Me Feel As If My Hands Are Clean
at Night I Stand Here Thinkin'
'˜bout The Man Back Home In Kansas
and How His Folks Just Turned Away The Shame
and I Stare Down Through The Soapsuds
and Reached Down And Pull The Drain Plug
and I Watch As Manhattan Drains Away
(Repeat Chorus)
yes It Makes Me Feel As If My Hands Are Clean
