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)
