Pick me a town
In any clime
Where people like
A rockin time
And stay awake
Both day and night
Till everybody's feelin good an' right

Then throw me
(Smack dab in the middle)
I wanna be
(Smack dab in the middle)
I wanna be smack dab in the middle, people
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Ten Cadillacs
A diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes
To dress to kill
A ten room house
Some Bar B Q
And fifty chicks not over twenty-two

Then throw me
(Smack dab in the middle)
Oh, I wanna be
(Smack dab in the middle)
I wanna be smack dab in the middle, people
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

This rockin' band
with chorus girls
A street that's paved
with natural pearls
a wagon load
of bonds and stocks
Then open up the door to Fort Knox

Then throw me
(Smack dab in the middle)
I wanna be
(Smack dab in the middle)
Ahhhhh, Smack dab in the middle
So I can rock and roll to satisfy his soul

Oh yeah!

A gang of bread and tons of meat
Oodles of butter and somethin sweet
A gallon of coffee to wash it down
Bicarbonated soda by the pound

Then throw me
(Smack dab in the middle)
I wanna be
(Smack dab in the middle)
I wanna be smack dab in the middle
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Then throw me
(Smack dab in the middle)
I wanna be
(Smack dab in the middle)
Yeah I'm gonna be smack dab in the middle, people
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul
Smack dab
Yeah!
