EB7
Got a letter just this mornin', it was postmarked Omaha
B7E
It was typed and neatly written, offerin' me this better job.
EA
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car.
B7 E N.C.
But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star.
[Verse 2]
EB7
I come on TV grinnin', wearin' pistols and a hat.
B7E
It's a kiddy show, and I'm a hero of the younger set.
EA
I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parkin' lot.
B E N.C.
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot.
[Chorus]
B7 B7 N.C.
Kansas City star, that's what I are... yodel-eedle ay-ee, you ought to see my car.
EB7
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels, I got rhinestones on the spokes.
B7E
I've got credit down at my grocery store and my barber tells me jokes.
EA
And I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parkin' lot.
B7 E N.C.
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot.
