See the office, see the phone Call the number, no one home  Take a powder, have to think  Now the question, where to drink  He's a number nine man with a price on his head  A smile on his mirror and a sag in his bed    Man in the middle - left right  Man in the middle - that's right  Man in the middle - (ah!)    Take an evening, that's his style  Likes to boogie, style a while  Make it easy, piece of meat  Now the question, got no feet    He's a silicone man with a lump on his face  A stain on his shirt and a rat in the race    Man in the middle - left right  Man in the middle - that's right  Man in the middle - (ah!)    He never thought that he'd be number nine  But now he's in it, he's doing fine  Where he's going he doesn't know  But where it's showing he's never slow    Man in the middle - left right  Man in the middle - that's right  Man in the middle - (ah!)    See the jacket, up for sale  Takes the ante, save the whale  There's a call out, sprung again  Now the question, he don't know who to blame    Man in the middle - left right  Man in the middle - that's right  Man in the middle - (ah!)    Man in the middle - left right  Man in the middle - that's right  Man in the middle - all night  Man in the middle - all (way?)  Man in the middle - left right  Man in the middle - that's right  Man in the middle - all night  Man in the middle - (left right)
