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 I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star



Hah-ha I come on TV grinnin,' wearin' pistols and a hat

It's a kiddy show and I'm a hero of the younger set

I'm the number one attraction every supermarket parkin' lot

I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot



CHORUS:

Kansas City star, that's 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

I'm the number one attraction every supermarket parkin' lot

I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot



CHORUS



SPOKEN: Stay tuned, gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute
