Kansas City Star Lyrics

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

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 ever, super market parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot

Kansas City star, that's what I are, yodel de la de, you oughta see my car
Drive a big old Cadillac with wired wheels, 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 ever, super market parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas City no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot

Kansas City star that's what I are, yodel de la de, you oughta see my car
Drive a big old Cadillac with wired wheels, 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, ever, super market parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas City no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot

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