Smack Dab in the Middle Songtext
von The Count Basie Orchestra

Pick me a town in any clime
Where people like a rockin′ time
And stay awake both day and night
'Til everybody′s feelin' good an' right

Then throw me, smack-dab in the middle
British for me, smack-dab in the middle
Talk to me, smack-dab in the middle
And let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

I want ten Cadillacs and a diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes to dress to kill
I want a ten room house, some barbecue
And 50 chicks not over 22

Then throw me, smack-dab in the middle
Talk to me, smack-dab in the middle
Hurl to me, smack-dab in the middle
And let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul


I want a lot of bread and gangs of meat
Oodles of butter and somethin′ sweet
With gallons of coffee to wash it down
Bicarbonate soda by the pound

Then throw me, smack-dab in the center
Smack-dab in the middle, my
Smack-dab in the center
And let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul, hey

I want Count Basie′s bed and a hundred girls
A street that's paved with natural pearls
Bring me wagon load of bonds and stocks
Then open up the door at Fort Knox

And throw me, smack-dab in the middle
Talk to me, smack-dab in the middle
Hurl to me, smack-dab in the middle
And let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

And let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
And let me, rock and roll, to satisfy my soul
