Got a letter just this mornin’it was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written offerin’me this better job
Better job with higher wages expences 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 a grinnin’wearin’pistols and a hat
It’s a kiddie show and I’m a hero at the youner set
I’m the No 1 attraction in ever super marked parking lot
I’m the king of Kansas City no thanks Omaha thanks a lot
Kansas City star that’s what I are yodel-de-la-de you oughta see my car
Drive a big old Cadillac with wired wheels got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store and my barber tells me jokes
And I’m the No 1 attraction in ever super marked parking lot
I’m the king of Kansas City no thanks Omaha thanks a lot
Kansas City star that’s what I are…
This song would make a plot for a great movie about the early days of television. That is, if Hollywood still made movies about those sort of ordinary American lives.
