      E                                B7
Got a letter just this mornin', it was postmarked Omaha

       B7                                 E
It was typed and neatly written, offerin' me this better job.

       E                         A
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car.

        B7                                         E N.C.
But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star.
[Verse 2]
         E                     B7
I come on TV grinnin', wearin' pistols and a hat.

       B7                          E
It's a kiddy show, and I'm a hero of the younger set.

        E                               A
I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parkin' lot.

        B                                               E N.C.
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot.
[Chorus]
            B7                         B7 N.C.
Kansas City star, that's what I are... yodel-eedle ay-ee, you ought to see my car.

          E                                        B7
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels, I got rhinestones on the spokes.

         B7                                      E
I've got credit down at my grocery store and my barber tells me jokes.

            E                               A
And I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parkin' lot.

        B7                                              E N.C.
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot.

Kansas City star, that's what I are... yodel-eedle ay-ee, you ought to see my car.

          E                                        B
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels, I got rhinestones on the spokes.

         B7                                     E
I've got credit down at my grocery store and my barber tells me jokes.

        E                               A
I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parkin' lot.

        B7                                              E N.C.
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot.
