Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a letter just this morning, 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
[Verse 2]
I come on the TV a-grinnin', wearin' pistols and a hat
It's a kiddie show and I'm a hero of the younger set
I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks Omaha, thanks a lot
[Verse 3]
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-deedle-dey-dee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with white wheels
Got rhinestones on the spokes
I've got credit down at the grocery store and my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks Omaha, thanks a lot
[Verse 4]
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-deedle-dey-dee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with white wheels
Got rhinestones on the spokes
I've got credit down at the grocery store and my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction in every supermarket parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks Omaha, thanks a lot
