Intro:
A G F E (stop)
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!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(a cappella)
Stay tuned, we're gonna have a Popeye cartoon in a minute... (strum E)
