Middle Man lyrics translation: JOHN PRINE Middle Man song texte and letras JOHN PRINE Middle Man tab, paroles and testo JOHN PRINE Middle Man Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
I was sitting in a diner
With a girl named Flo
She wouldn`t say yes
But she couldn`t say no
She said
Darling,
Can I get a middle man?
She was engaged to a fellow
On the lay a way plan
But she carried all her money
In a coffee can
She said
Darling,
Can I get a middle man?
The cook looked over
With a short order face
Dropped a fork
And he saw Flo`s legs
Straightened his apron
And burnt my eggs
I got competition
Everywhere I go
These days
She was leaning on the juke box
And was lookin` real good
L:ike Natalie Wood
On a Pontiac hood
I said
Darling,
I think I need a little hand
Ya see, I`ve seen my downs
I`ve seen my ups
I seen miniature dogs
In coffee cups
But
Darling
I ain`t never seen a middle man
Flo talked slow
Like real wet paint
She said
A middle man`s there
When the other ones ain`t
He`s got a left handed manner
That leans to the right
Sleeps all day
And keeps it up all night ...
... I got an aunt in Ohio
And a boat that won`t row
Some veterans insurance
And nowhere to go
Darling,
Can I be your middle man?
(spoken)
If I could get the money in that coffee can
I could open me up a lemonade stand
Send all the kids off to Pakistan
Make Flo happy
If I can
Jerry Mahoney and Johnny B. Goode
Are gonna buy me a house in Hollywood
Darling
I think I got the perfect plan
We`re gonna save half a dollars
And sell `em to France
Buy us a record
And learn how to dance
And
Darling
I`ll always be your middle
