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
