King Of The Road Roger Miller 1965 | (TNT 293) Jerry Jestin |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Trailors for sale or rent, rooms to let 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
Circle left
Ah, but 2 hours of pushin' broom
Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
Left allemande and promenade
Cause I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade halfway you go
Down the middle with a right & left thru, take your baby home
Square thru and get me four, go walking round that way
Do a right & left thru, turn the girl, and then rollaway
Pass thru, U-turn back, swing that corner there
Swing this girl then promenade that square
Cause I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Third boxcar, midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn-out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues
Circle left
Smokin' old stogies, baby I have found
Short, but not too big around
Left allemande and promenade
Cause I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
I know every engineer on every train
All of the children and all of their names
I know every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
Circle left
Trailors for sale or rent
Room to let 50 cents
Left allemande and promenade
Cause I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
