KANSAS CITY STAR
(Roger Miller)

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 

Hah-ha I come on the TV a-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 at 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-leedle lay-dee, 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 at every supermarket parkin' lot 
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks to Omaha, thanks a lot 

Kansas City star, that's what I are 
Yodel-leedle lay-dee, 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 at every supermarket parkin' lot 
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks to Omaha, thanks a lot 

SPOKEN: Stay tuned, we're gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute
