King of the Road Lyrics
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No cars no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
It takes four hours of pushin' broom
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the road
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No cars no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
It takes eight hours of pushin' broom
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of man, by no means
King of the road, take it Slim
It takes eight hours of pushin' broom
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of man, by no means
King of the road, one more time
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No cars no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
It takes eight hours of pushin' broom
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of man, by no means
King of the road, take it Slim
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No cars no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the road
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No cars no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of man, by no means
King of the road, take it Slim
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of man, by no means
King of the road, one more time
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No cars no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
To buy a four-by-twelve two-bit room
I'm a man of man, by no means
King of the road, take it Slim
Peter Buck wrote in the liner notes of “Dead Letter Office” “Roger Miller should be able to sue us for what we did to his song.”
Immediately thereafter he writes “Well, not a very uplifting way to end the album”.
