INTRO: G F E


#1.
E                                     B
Got a letter just this mornin' it was postmarked

Omaha.
B                                        E
It was typed and neatly written offerin' me this

better job.
E                                    A
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car.
        B                                          E
But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star.


#2.
E                               B
I come on TV grinnin, ' wearin' pistols and a hat.
B                                E
It's a kiddy show and I'm a hero of the younger set.
E                                      A
I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket

parkin' lot.
        B
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks
  E
a lot.


CHORUS:
            B
Kansas City star, that's what I are..yodel-deedle ay-hee,

you oughta see my car.
          E                                      B
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels, got rhinestones

on the spokes.
B                                             E
I got credit down at the grocery store and my barber tells me

jokes.
E                                      A
I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parkin' lot.
        B                                               E
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot.
