[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
