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 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.
(Key change from A to Bb)
I know every engineer on every train,
All their children, 'n 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.
