Roger And Out, 1964
Written by Roger Miller
Like most of Miller's material, this is a humorous novelty song, with Miller providing a silly "boop bup bup brrr" chorus. Lyrically, it's the plaint of a goofus who's out with the boys, leaving his wife at home, and getting up to no good. Miller claimed he wrote the song in four minutes, and the first run-through at the studio, with veteran session players, is the version that made it to the pressing. If you have tolerance for lines like "They say roses are red, and violets are purple / Sugar's sweet and so is maple surple," you'll get a chuckle out of this.
