| Did you see that man in the limousine?
|
| With the pretty girl, he is fifty and the girl’s only seventeen
|
| But she doesn’t care, and she never will
|
| If he’s ninety-five she don’t give a damn
|
| Just as long as he pays the bill
|
| Did you see that man with a fat cigar?
|
| He just left his lunch with a belly full of lobster and caviar
|
| He can choose the wine from a vintage year
|
| He will drink champagne in his limousine
|
| While the rest of us drink a beer
|
| 'Cause he’s the man in the middle, never second fiddle
|
| Just like a spider in a cobweb
|
| Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss
|
| You double-cross
|
| 'Cause he’s the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
|
| He’s never bothered by his conscience
|
| Deals with the Devil 'cause he wants to be
|
| Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
|
| In the middle, in the middle, in the middle…
|
| But you see that man made a big mistake
|
| Even though he’s got all his servants and a mansion beside a lake
|
| And the money too, all that he can spend
|
| He can buy the most, nearly anything
|
| But he can’t buy an honest friend
|
| 'Cause he’s the man in the middle, never second fiddle
|
| Just like a spider in a cobweb
|
| Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss
|
| You double-cross
|
| 'Cause he’s the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
|
| He’s never bothered by his conscience
|
| Deals with the Devil 'cause he wants to be
|
| Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
|
| In the middle, in the middle, in the middle… |
