Staging: Singer should walk up to the front during the bass intro. Then, during the last verse, slowly walk to the back of the crowd, as the music fades out.

Lyrics:

[intro]

Waggons for sale or rent
Rooms to let...5 copper gents.
No bread, no ale, no pets
I ain't got no rest of yet
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.

Tired pony, pourin' rain
Destination...what's the name?.
Old worn out suits and shoes,
I don't pay but when I choose,
I smoke old pipeweed 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 Ranger on every trail
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,
Waggons for sale or rent
Rooms to let...5 copper gents.
No bread, no ale, no pets
I ain't got no rest of yet
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.

Waggons for sale or rent
Rooms to let...5 copper gents.
No bread, no ale, no pets
I ain't got no rest of yet
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.
