Did you see that man in the limousine?
With the pretty blonde;
he is fifty and the girlīs only seventeen
but she doesnīt care and she never will
if heīs ninety-five she donīt give a damn
just as long as he pays the bill
Did you see that man with a fat cigar?
He just left his lunch
with a belly full of lobster and caviar
he can choose the wine from a vintage year
he will drink champagne in his limousine
when the rest of us drink a beer
īCause heīs the man in the middle
never second fiddle
just like a spider in a cobweb
hard as a hammer
not the kind of boss
you double-cross
īcause heīs the man in the middle
knows the way to diddle
heīs never bothered by his conscience
deals with the devil īcause he wants to be
man in the middle, the middle, the middle
in the middle
But you see that man made a big mistake
even though heīs got all his servants
and a mansion beside a lake
and the money too, all that he can spend
he can buy the most, nearly anything
but he canīt buy an honest friend
īCause heīs the man in the middle
never second fiddle
just like a spider in a cobweb
hard as a hammer
not the kind of boss
you double-cross
īcause heīs the man in the middle
knows the way to diddle
heīs never bothered by his conscience
deals with the devil īcause he wants to be
man in the middle, the middle, the middle
in the middle
