Kansas City Star

Artist: Roger Miller (peak Billboard position # 31 in 1965)
Words and Music by Roger Miller


Got a letter just this morninâ?? it was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written offerinâ?? me this better job
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car
But Iâ??m on TV here locally and I canâ??t quit, Iâ??m a star

Hah-ha I come on TV grinnin,â?? wearinâ?? pistols and a hat
Itâ??s a kiddy show and Iâ??m a hero of the younger set
Iâ??m the number one attraction every supermarket parkinâ?? lot
Iâ??m the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot

CHORUS:
Kansas City star, thatâ??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
Iâ??m the number one attraction every supermarket parkinâ?? lot
Iâ??m the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot





CHORUS

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