Lyrics

[Verse 1] (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Pick me a town (Doo-doo, doo-doo) In any clime (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Where people like (Doo-doo, doo-doo) A rockin' time (Doo-doo, doo-doo) And stay awake (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Both day and night (Doo-doo, doo-doo) 'Til everybody's feeling good and right [Chorus] Then throw me (Smack dab in the middle) I wanna be (Smack dab in the middle) Ah, smack dab in the middle, boys, now So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul [Verse 2] (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Ten Cadillacs (Doo-doo, doo-doo) A diamond mill (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Ten suits of clothes (Doo-doo, doo-doo) To dress to kill (Doo-doo, doo-doo) A ten room house (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Some barbecue (Doo-doo, doo-doo) And fifty chicks not over twenty-two [Chorus] Then throw me (Smack dab in the middle) Oh, I wanna be (Smack dab in the middle) Ah, 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 [Verse 3] (Doo-doo, doo-doo) One hundred beds (Doo-doo, doo-doo) With chorus girls (Doo-doo, doo-doo) A street that's paved (Doo-doo, doo-doo) With natural pearls (Doo-doo, doo-doo) A wagon load (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Of bonds and stocks (Doo-doo, doo-doo) That open up the door at Fort Knox [Chorus] Then throw me (Smack dab in the middle) Oh, I wanna be (Smack dab in the middle) Ah, now listen, boys, throw me smack dab in the middle right now So Ray can rock and roll to satisfy his soul [Break] That's all right [Verse 4] (Doo-doo, doo-doo) A lot of bread (Doo-doo, doo-doo) And gangs of meat (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Oodles of butter (Doo-doo, doo-doo) And something sweet (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Gallons of coffee (Doo-doo, doo-doo) To wash it down (Doo-doo, doo-doo) Bicarbonated soda by the pound [Chorus] Then throw me (Smack dab in the middle) Oh, picture it (Smack dab in the middle) Oh, throw me now smack dab in the middle right now So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul [Outro] Alright
