Smack Dab In The Middle Lyrics - April In Paris - Count Basie

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) 

Ahhhhh, 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 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) 

Ahhhhh, 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 (smack dab in the middle) 

I wanna be (smack dab in the middle) 

Ahhhhh, 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 somethin sweet 

Gallons of coffee to wash it down 

Bicarbonated soda by the pound 

Then throw me (smack dab in the middle) 

I picture it (smack dab in the middle) 

Ah, throw me now, smack dab in the middle right now 

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul 

Alright!
