Smack Dab In The Middle (Live 1957/Newport)-Joe Williams/Count Basie

Pick me a town in any clime Where people like a rocking time And stay awake both day and night Till everybody's feeling good an' right Then throw me smack dab in the middle I wanna be smack dab in the middle A bit smack dab in the middle And let's me rock and roll to satisfy my soul I want ten cadillacs and diamond mill Ten suits of clothes to dress to kill I wanna ten room house and some barbecue And fifty chicks not over twenty-two Then throw me smack dab in the middle Tell a bit smack dab in the middle Ahhhhh a bit smack dab in the middle And I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul I wanna a lot of bread and gangs of meat Oodles of butter and something sweet Gallons of coffee to wash it down Bicarbonated soda by the pound Then throw me smack dab been the center share Smack dab in the middle Smack dab been the center And let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul I wanna come base and spends a hundred beds ballet girls A street that's paved with natural pearls Puring me a wagon load of bonds and stocks Then open up the door at fort knox And throw me smack dab in the middle Throw me smack dab in the middle Throw 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
