Trailer for sale or rent

              
Rooms to let...fifty cents.

             
No phone, no pool, no pets


I ain't got no cigarettes

                     
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom

                       
Buys a eight by twelve four-bit room

                                       
I'm a, man of means by no means

              
   King of the road.

             
Third boxcar, midnight train

             
Destination...Bangor, Maine.

             
Old worn out suit and shoes,


I don't pay no union dues,

                  
I smoke old stogies I have found

                  
Short, but not too big around

                               
I'm a man of means by no means

              
   King of the Road.

                             
I know every engineer on every train

                          
All of their children, and all of their names

                     
And every handout in every town

    
And every lock that ain't locked


When no one's around.  I sing:

           
Trailers for sale or rent

             
Rooms to let, fifty cents

             
No phone, no pool, no pets


I ain't got no cigarettes

                     
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom

                       
Buys a, eight by twelve four-bit room

                               
I'm a man of means by no means

              
   King of the Road.
