INTRO: C G C D

G D

Got a letter just this mornin' it was postmarked Omaha

G

It was typed and neatly written offerin' me this better job

G7 C

Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car

D G

But I'm on TV here locally, I can't quit I'm a star

I come on TV a-grinnin' wearin' pistols and a hat

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

I'm the number one attraction in every super market parkin' lot

I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks Omaha thanks a lot

CHORUS:

D

Kansas City Star, that's what I are

G/

Yodel-lee-da-lay-dee, you ought to see my car

I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels I got rhinestones on the spokes

I got credit down at the grocery store and my barber tells me jokes

And I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parkin' lot

I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks Omaha thanks a lot

SOLO

CHORUS

Drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels, got rhinestones on the spokes

I've got credit down at my grocery store and my barber tells me jokes

I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parkin' lot

I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks Omaha thanks alot

N/C G
