Kansas City Star
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 can't quit, I'm a star
Haha, I come on TV grinning, wearing pistols and a hat
It's 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 queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car
I got a big old Cadillac with wired wheels
I got rhinestones on my spokes
I got credit down at the grocery and my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction, every supermarket parking lot
I'm the queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Ha-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wired wheels
I got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store, my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction, every supermarket parking lot
I'm the queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
I'm the queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
I'm the queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks for nothing
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 can't quit, I'm a star
Haha, I come on TV grinning, wearing pistols and a hat
It's 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 queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car
I got a big old Cadillac with wired wheels
I got rhinestones on my spokes
I got credit down at the grocery and my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction, every supermarket parking lot
I'm the queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
Kansas City star, that's what I are
Ha-deedle ay-hee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wired wheels
I got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store, my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction, every supermarket parking lot
I'm the queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
I'm the queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot
I'm the queen in Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks for nothing
