Kansas City Star Lyrics - Roger Miller

Got a letter just this mornin' it was postmarked Omaha 

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

Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car 

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

Ha ha, I come on TV grinnin,' wearin' pistols and a hat 

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

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

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

Kansas City star, that's what I are 

Yodel-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car 

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

I got credit down at the grocery store 

And my barber tells me jokes 

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

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

Kansas City star, that's what I are 

Yodel-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car 

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

I got credit down at the grocery store 

And my barber tells me jokes 

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

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