THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE

Manfred Mann



Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds

The music that they're puttin' down

They started to play

On a rainy day

& the people came from miles around



CHORUS:

They didn't come for the rhythm

They didn't come for the beat

The people of the town

Came just to stand around

& see the singer lookin' sweet



Mike Hugg plays the drums, yeah

Tom McGuiness plays the diamond bass

But the one in the middle

Sings "Hey diddle diddle"

God, he's just a pretty face



(chorus)

They couldn't have!



(instrumental)



Manfred Mann plays the organ

Mike Vickers plays guitar

& there's a geezer called Paul

Who's so thin & so tall

& sure wants to be a star



(chorus)



(x6): See the singer lookin'...

Sweet
