Kansas City Star

(Intro): <A>  <G>  <F>  <E>

(Verse 1):
<E>                               
Got a letter just this morning, 
    <B>
it was postmarked Omaha.
<B>                           
It was typed and neatly written 
         <E>
offering me this better job.
         <E>                   
A better job with higher wages, 
          <A>
expenses paid and a car.
        <B>                        
But I'm on T.V. here locally and I
                 <E>
 can't quit, I'm a star.

Continues after the ad
(Verse 2):
I come on the T.V. a-grinnin' 
wearing pistols and a hat.
It's a kiddy show and I'm the hero 
of the younger set.
And the number one attraction in 
every supermarket parking lot.
I'm the King of Kansas City, no 
thanks Omaha, thanks a lot.

(Pre-Chorus):
<B>
Kansas City Star... that's what I 
are...
 (Staccato)
Yodel-iddle-ayee, you oughta see my 
car.

(Chorus): (same as verse)

I drive a big old Cadillac with wide
 wheels, got rindstones on the 
spokes.
I got credit down at the grocery 
store, and my barber tells me jokes.
I'm the number one attraction in 
every supermarket parking lot.
I'm the King of Kansas City, no 
thanks Omaha, thanks a lot.
