[Intro] AGFE
E Got a letter just this mornin' B7 It was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written E Offerin' me this better job A Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car B7 But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit E I'm a star!
I come on the TV a-grinnin' B7 Wearin' pistols and a hat E It's a kiddie show and I'm a hero of the younger set A I'm the number one attraction of every supermarket parking lot B7 I'm the king of Kansas City E No thanks, Omaha. Thanks a lot!
[Chorus] B7 Kansas City Star, that's what I are... (a cappella) Yodel-ee-da-layeeee, you oughta see my car E I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels B7 Got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store E And my barber tells me jokes A I'm the number one attraction of every supermarket parking lot B7 I'm the king of Kansas City E No thanks, Omaha. Thanks a lot!
