Kansas City Star Songtext
von Roger Miller

Got a letter just this morning
It was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written
Offerin′ me this better job
Better job at 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 the TV a grinning
Wearing pistols and a hat
It's a kiddies show and I′m a hero of the younger set
I′m the number one attraction
In every supermarket parking lot
I'm the King of Kansas City
No thanks Omaha thanks a lot


Kansas City star
That′s what I are
Yo del de del a de
You ought a see my car
Drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels
And rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction
In every supermarket parking lot
I′m the King of Kansas City
No thanks Omaha thanks a lot

Kansas City star
That's what I are
Yo del de del a de
You ought a see my car
Drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels
And rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I′m the number one attraction
In every supermarket parking lot
I'm the King of Kansas City
No thanks Omaha thanks a lot

Stay tuned, we are going to have a pop character in a minute
