KING OF THE ROAD - Roger Miller 1965
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 an 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 suits 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 an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

ANSWER SONG
QUEEN OF THE HOUSE - Jody Miller
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
I got old floors to wax and scrub
And there's a dirty old ring in the tub
I'll get a maid someday
But till then I'm queen of the house
No time to fix my hair
Need a new dress to wear
Old clothes will have to do
'Cause kids all need new shoes
I got bridge club each Tuesday night
He goes out with the boys and gets tight
But when the evening's through he comes a home
To the queen of the house
I know the milkman, the iceman they come every day
They give me tips on the horses to play
And when I got the time to spare
I sit and wish that I'd picked a rich millionaire
I sing up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
Oh, by Sundays I'm mighty glad
We send the kids to his mom and dad
It's the day that makes me glad
I'm queen of the house
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
By Sundays I'm mighty glad
We send the kids to his mom and dad
It's the day that makes me glad
I'm queen of the house
