Kansas City Star
Artist: Roger Miller (peak Billboard position # 31 in 1965)
Words and Music by Roger Miller
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 Im on TV here locally and I cant quit, Im a star
Hah-ha I come on TV grinnin,?wearin?pistols and a hat
Its a kiddy show and Im a hero of the younger set
Im the number one attraction every supermarket parkin?lot
Im the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
CHORUS:
Kansas City star, thats what I are
Yodel-deedle ay-hee, 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
Im the number one attraction every supermarket parkin?lot
Im the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
CHORUS
SPOKEN: Stay tuned, gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute
