I was Esitting in a diner with a girl named Flo
She Awouldn't say yes, but she couldn't say no
She said, E"Darling,B7 can I get a middle Eman?"
She was Eengaged to a fellow on the lay-a-way plan
But she Acarried all her money in a coffee can
She said, E"Darling,B7 can I get a middle Eman?"
The Acook looked over with a short order face
EDropped a fork and he saw Flo's legs
AStraightened his apron and burned my eggs
I got B7competition everywhere I go these days
ELeaning on the juke box lookin' real good
Like ANatalie Wood on a Pontiac hood
I said, "EDarling, I B7think I need a little Ehand.
Ya see, I've Eseen my downs, I've seen my ups
I seen Aminiature dogs in coffee cups
But dEarling I ain't B7never seen a middle Eman."
AFlo talked slow like real wet paint
She said, "A Emiddle man's there when the other ones ain't
He's got a Aleft handed manner that leans to the right
B7Sleeps all day and keeps it up all night"
I got an Eaunt in Ohio and a boat that won't row
Some Aveterans insurance and nowhere to go
E"Darling, B7can I be your middle Eman?"
AIf I could get the money in that coffee can
I could Eopen me up a lemonade stand
ASend all the kids off to Pakistan
B7Make Flo happy if I can
Instrumental
AE
AB7
EJerry Mahoney and Johnny B. Goode
Are gonna Abuy me a house in Hollywood
EDarling, I B7think I got the perfect Eplan
We're gonna Esave half a dollars and sell 'em to France
ABuy us a record and learn how to dance
And Edarling, I'll B7always be your middle
EDarling, B7go buy a griddle
EDarling, I B7wanna be your middle Eman
