Lyrics:

1965
Performer Roger Miller
Title Kansas city star
Lyrictext

Got a letter just this morning it was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written offering me this better job
Better job at higher wages expenses paid and a car
But i'm on TV here locally and i cant quit i'm a star

Hah-ha i come on tv grinning wearing pistols and a hat
Its a kiddy show and i'm a hero of the younger set
I'm the number one attraction every supermarket parking lot
I'm the king of Kansas city no thanks Omaha thanks a lot

Chorus:
Kansas city star that'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
I'm the number one attraction every supermarket parking lot

I'm the king of Kansas city no thanks Omaha thanks a lot

Chorus
