Val Doonican - This Is

King of the Road

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

Ah, but two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by 12 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 by all of their names
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, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

Ah, but two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by 12 four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
King of the road
King of the road
King of the road
