Lyrics
Now I'm younger than a gink that's pushing eighty
But I'm older than a punk of seventeen
I'm more than a lot are and less than some
I'm in between
Now I'm poorer than a man that's got a million
But I'm richer than a bum without a bean
I've more than a lot have and less than some
I'm in between
Now I can soak up more rye whiskey
Than can half the men you'll find
But there's still another half who
Can drink me dumb and blind
But as a lover I'd be way ahead of many
But there are many who's a-way ahead of me
And so it will go with the man you get
An ordinary in between he'll be
So why not me?
Now I like to be polite before a lady
But I ain't no highfalutin European
Oh, my manners are good, but they ain't the cream
You see, I'm sorta kinda in between
Now I've gathered up a tidy bit of learning
But a college wouldn't pick me for the dean
I'm as bright as the sun on a cloudy day
I'm in between
Now I'm not exactly yellow
Or the bravest man you'd see
But I'd fight a dozen Indians
That's if fifty were with me
Oh, there's a thousand ways of sayin' what I'm sayin'
But I'll tell you plain and simple what I mean
I hope when you go to your room tonight
And turn down the blankets, I'll be seen
Ho ho
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
