Kansas City Star Lyrics

Kansas City Star - Roger Miller
(This one's for you, Dad. :)
Intro:
A G F E (stop)
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!
I come on the 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 of every supermarket parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas City
No thanks, Omaha. Thanks a lot!
CHORUS:
Kansas City Star, that's what I are...
(a cappella)
Yodel-ee-da-layeeee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels
Got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction of every supermarket parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas City
No thanks, Omaha. Thanks a lot!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(a cappella)
Stay tuned, we're gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute... (strum E)
