E B7
Got a letter just this mornin', it was postmarked Omaha
B7 E
It was typed and neatly written, offerin' me this better job.
E A
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]
E B7
I come on TV grinnin', wearin' pistols and a hat.
B7 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 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.
E B7
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels, I got rhinestones on the spokes.
B7 E
I've got credit down at my grocery store and my barber tells me jokes.
E A
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.
