One In The Middle lyrics

THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE
Manfred Mann

Let me tell you `bout the Manfreds
The music that they`re puttin` down
They started to play
On a rainy day
& the people came from miles around

CHORUS:
They didn`t come for the rhythm
They didn`t come for the beat
The people of the town
Came just to stand around
& see the singer lookin` sweet

Mike Hugg plays the drums, yeah
Tom McGuiness plays the diamond bass
But the one in the middle
Sings `Hey diddle diddle`
God, he`s just a pretty face

(chorus)
They couldn`t have!

(instrumental)

Manfred Mann plays the organ
Mike Vickers plays guitar
& there`s a geezer called Paul
Who`s so thin & so tall
& sure wants to be a star

(chorus)

(x6): See the singer lookin`...
Sweet
