Got a hotrod Chevy with a twin carburetor
And I know a gal that's a real sharp tomater
And she's got a Daddy with a Caddy that'll date 'er
You see what I mean
Those sweet little things just set me a-droolin'
I'm too big for sodas and I'm too old for schoolin'
Too young for lovin' but I'm too old for foolin
They call me Mister In-Between,

(Mister In-Between, Mister In-Between 
tries to live so clean Mister In-Between)

I feel like a sailboat kept in a bottle
I feel like an engineer that can't find the throttle
I'm too small to walk but I'm too big to toddle
And, Lordy, I'm turnin' green
To see all the men makin' time with the ladies
The high school kids at the show with their babies
While I run around like a dog with the rabies
They call me Mister In-Between,

(Mister In-Between, Mister In-Between 
better leave the scene, Mister In-Between)

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
