Lyrics

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 expences paid and a car
But I'm on tv here locally and I can't quit I'm a star
Haha I come on tv a grinnin' wearin' pistols and a hat
It's a kiddie show and I'm a hero of the youner set
I'm the no 1 attraction in ever' super market parking lot
I'm the king of kansas city no thanks omaha thanks a lot
Kansas city star that's what I are yodel-de-la-de you oughta see my car
Drive a big old cadillac with wired wheels got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store and my barber tells me jokes
And I'm the no 1 attraction in ever' super market parking lot
I'm the king of kansas city no thanks omaha thanks a lot
[ trumpet ]
Kansas city star that's what I are..

Stay tuned; we're gonna have a popeye cartoon in just a minute!
