INTRO: C  G  C  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
