panhandle shuffle - The Mills Brothers

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)

I wanna be smack dab in the middle, people

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)

I wanna be smack dab in the middle, people

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

This rockin' band

with chorus girls

A street that’s paved

with natural pearls

a wagon load

of bonds and stocks

Then open up the door to Fort Knox

Then throw me

(Smack dab in the middle)

I wanna be

(Smack dab in the middle)

Ahhhhh, Smack dab in the middle

So I can rock and roll to satisfy his soul

Oh yeah!

A gang of bread and tons of meat

Oodles of butter and somethin sweet

A gallon of coffee to wash it down

Bicarbonated soda by the pound

Then throw me

(Smack dab in the middle)

I wanna be

(Smack dab in the middle)

I wanna be smack dab in the middle

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Then throw me

(Smack dab in the middle)

I wanna be

(Smack dab in the middle)

Yeah I’m gonna be smack dab in the middle, people

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Smack dab

Yeah!
