Did you see that man in the limousine
With the pretty doll, he is fifty and the girl´s only seventeen
But she doesn´t care, and she never will
If he´s ninety-five she don´t give a damn
Just as long as he pays the bill

Did you see that man with a fat cigar
He just left his lovers with a belly full of lobster and caviar
He can choose the wine from a vintage year
He will drink champagne in his limousine
Where the rest of the street can peer

´Cause he´s the man in the middle, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross
´Cause he´s the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
He´s never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil, ´cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
In the middle (in the middle, in the middle...)

But you see that man made a big mistake
Even though he´s got all his servants and a mansion beside a lake
And the money too, all that he can spend
He can buy the most, nearly anything
But he can´t buy the lot, his friend

´Cause he´s the man in the middle, never second fiddle
Just like a spider in a cobweb
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross
´Cause he´s the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle
He´s never bothered by his conscience
Deals with the Devil, ´cause he wants to be
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle
In the middle (in the middle, in the middle...)
