Pick me a town in any clime Where people like a rockin time And stay awake both day and night Till everybody's feelin good an' right
Then throw me (smack dab in the middle) I wanna be (smack dab in the middle) Ahhhhh, smack dab in the middle, boys now So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul
Ten Cadillacs, a diamond mill Ten suits of clothes to dress to kill A ten room house, some Bar B Q And fifty chicks not over twenty-two
Then throw me (smack dab in the middle) Oh, I wanna be (smack dab in the middle) Ahhhhh, now boys you can see why I wanna be smack dab in the middle now So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul
One hundred beds with girls A street that's paved with natural pearls A wagon load of bonds and stocks Then open up the door at Fort Knox
Then throw me (smack dab in the middle) I wanna be (smack dab in the middle) Ahhhhh, now listen boys throw me Smack dab in the middle right now So Ray can rock and roll to satisfy his soul
That's all right!
A lot of bread and gangs of meat Oodles of butter and somethin sweet Gallons of coffee to wash it down Bicarbonated soda by the pound
Then throw me (smack dab in the middle) I picture it (smack dab in the middle) Ah, throw me now, smack dab in the middle right now So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul
