| Trailers for sale or rent,
|
| Rooms to let — 50 cents,
|
| No phone, no pool, no pets,
|
| Ain’t got no cigarettes, ah but
|
| Two hours of pushing broom
|
| buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
|
| He’s a man of means by no means
|
| King of the road.
|
| Third box car midnight train
|
| Destination Bangor, Maine
|
| Old worn-out suits and shoes,
|
| Don’t pay no union dues.
|
| He smokes old stogies he has found
|
| Short, but not too big around
|
| He’s a man of means by no means
|
| King of the road
|
| (He knows) Every engineer on every train
|
| All of their children and all of their names
|
| And every hang-out in every town
|
| Every lock that ain’t locked
|
| When no one’s around.
|
| I say, Trailers for sale or rent,
|
| Rooms to let — 50 cents,
|
| No phone, no pool, no pets,
|
| Ain’t got no cigarettes.
|
| I’ve got two hours of pushing broom
|
| buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
|
| He’s a man of means by no means
|
| King of the road. |
