|     A|     G|     F|  EN.C.
[Verse 1]
Got a Eletter just this mornin', it was B7postmarked Omaha
It was B7typed and neatly written, offerin' Eme this better job.
Better Ejob at higher wages, expenAses paid and a car.
                                                 B7   EN.C.
But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star.
[Verse 2]
I come on ETV grinnin', wearin' B7pistols and a hat.
It's a B7kiddy show, and I'm a hero oEf the younger set.
I'm the Enumber one attraction in every sAupermarket parkin' lot.
                                                       B   EN.C.
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot.
[Chorus]
                                     B7   B7N.C.
Kansas City star, that's what I are... yodel-eedle ay-ee, you ought to see my car.
I drive a Ebig old Cadillac with wire wheels, I got B7rhinestones on the spokes.
I've got B7credit down at my grocery store and my bEarber tells me jokes.
And I'm the Enumber one attraction in every sAupermarket parkin' lot.
                                                      B7   EN.C.
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot.
