Sitting in a casino last night this song came on..
Now it's stuck in my head! I just loved the beat, had to look it up!
This is not up my alley for music, i just liked it  !!!
Mainly i'm Soul and R & B
But simple songs with great lyrics always catch me!
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.
King of the Road - Roger Miller

That is the meaningful purpose of the word "pizmotality" in a song
called "The Letter" by the Medallions 1956.. "words so secret they can only be spoke to one he loves"
Pompatus was derived from that song, another word..
"Puppatutes" which its meaning meant, "a secret fantasy figure, which would bear his children"
I'm guess that both words can mean the same thing?

Casino Queen.... Well, the money's pouring down and the people all look down And it's floating out of town I hit the second deck and I spent my paycheck And my wife that I just met, she's looking like a wreck Casino Queen, my lord you're mean I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green I always bet on black, blackjackI'll pay you back The room fills with smoke and I'm already broke And the dealer keeps on joking as he takes my last token Casino Queen, my lord you're mean I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green Casino Queen, my lord you're mean I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green --Wilco-- |

Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green
I always bet on black, blackjack
I'll pay you back
The room fills with smoke and I'm already broke
And the dealer keeps on joking as he takes my last token
Love those lyrics PMM2008 ! |

Oh this is an excellent song that Ray Charles did... Hard Times (no one knows better than I) Ray Charles.... My mother told me Before she passed away Said son when I'm gone Don't forget to pray 'Cause there'll be hard times Lord those hard times Who knows better than I? Well I soon found out Just what she meant When I had to pawn my clothes Just to pay my rent Talkin' 'bout hard times Who knows better than I? I had a woman Who was always around But when I lost my money She put me down Talkin' 'bout hard times Yeah,yeah, who knows better than I? Lord, one of these days There'll be no sorrow When I pass away And no more hard times Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? |

Hi gang: I found a web site a few month ago called www.lala.com It is terrific for finding almost any song you can think of or remember from your past. There has not been one song it could not find for me. If your a music lover, check it out. Loads of fun. |

Tony, Did Lips tell you about it? I told her about it. HAHA  I have over 200 songs in my collection already, and I am one of the top listeners to the site. We have a ball on there. I just know other members will love it if they give it a look. Give it a try guys. Pam |
