Come Out WestGet busy today While not any moment, In idleness away. If business is slack Where you may abide Come out to Kansas And with us glide. In Kansas the wheat And alfalfa are Green Where the happiest people On earth may be seen. The young. and the old The high and the low Stand shoulder to shoulder Our watchword "see us grow." Come in the autumn Come in the spring Come in the summer And hear the birds sing. Just keep on coming In sunshine or rain And help drill for oil And garner the grain. Come in the evening Or come in the morn If you want to labor In mine, factory or farm. The oftener you come The greater the charm, In production we're short But on consumption we're long.
