Kansas City Star Lyrics

I got letter just this morning.
It was postmarked "Omaha."
It was typed and neatly written
Offering me this better job.
Better job with higher wages,
Expenses paid.  And a car.
But I'm on TV here locally,
And I can't quit I'm a star.

I come on TV, a grinnin'
Wearin' pistols and a hat.
It's the Kiddie Show and I'm the hero
Of the younger set.
I'm the Number One attraction
At every supermarket parking lot.
I'm the king of Kansas City,
No thanks Omaha, but thanks a lot.

Kansas City Star! That's what I are!
Yodle-leedle-ladee ya' oughta see my car!
It's 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 
At every supermarket parking lot.
I'm the king of Kansas City,
No thanks Omaha, but thanks a lot.

(* scatting *)

Kansas City Star! That's what I are!
Yodle-leedle-ladee ya' oughta see my car!
It's 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 
At every supermarket parking lot.
I'm the king of Kansas City,
No thanks Omaha, but thanks a lot.
