(This one's for you, Dad. :)

Intro:

A G F E (stop)

E

Got a letter just this mornin'

B7

It was postmarked Omaha

It was typed and neatly written

E

Offerin' me this better job

A

Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car

B7

But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit

E

I'm a star!

I come on the TV a-grinnin'

B7

Wearin' pistols and a hat

E

It's a kiddie show and I'm a hero of the younger set

A

I'm the number one attraction of every supermarket parking lot

B7

I'm the king of Kansas City

E

No thanks, Omaha. Thanks a lot!

CHORUS:

B7

Kansas City Star, that's what I are...

(a cappella)

Yodel-ee-da-layeeee, you oughta see my car

E

I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels

B7

Got rhinestones on the spokes

I got credit down at the grocery store

E

And my barber tells me jokes

A

I'm the number one attraction of every supermarket parking lot

B7

I'm the king of Kansas City

E

No thanks, Omaha. Thanks a lot!

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(a cappella)

Stay tuned, we're gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute... (strum E)
