Pick me a town
In any clime
Where people like
A rockin' time
And stay awake
Both day and night
'Til everybody's feeling
good and right
Then throw me
I wanna be
Ah 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 barbecue
And fifty chicks
not over twenty two
Then throw me
Oh I wanna be
Ah 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 chorus 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
I wanna be
Ah 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 something sweet
Gallons of coffee
To wash it down
Bicarbonated soda
by the pound
Then throw me
Oh picture it
Oh throw me
now smack dab
in the middle right now
So I can rock and roll
to satisfy my soul
Alright
