Rodney Atkins - Monkey In The Middle Lyrics
I get up like a rocket in a hurricaneThen it's off to work like a runaway trainDrivin' them nails, draggin' my tailIt don't take much to follow my trail, follow my trailBack and forth in a game of pickleI ain't nothing but the monkey in the middleWalking that sideshow tight rope making ends meetThat organ grinder be in a bind without meIn that circus they work us like a bunch of borrowed mulesBut everytime that music plays I know what to doEvery Friday night at the honky tonkMe and my baby make that dive jumpWhen our buckles bump, I tell you whatThat girl is packing some powerful stuff, powerful stuffAnd when we get home she plays me like a fiddleMakin' sweet music with the monkey in the middleWalking that sideshow tightrope, makin' ends meetThat organ grinder be in a bind without meIn that circus they work us like a bunch of borrowed mulesBut everytime that music plays sugar I know what to doAnd then.I get up like a rocket in a hurricaneThen it's off to work like a runaway trainDrivin' them nails, draggin' my tailIt don't take much to follow my trail, follow my trailBack and forth in a game of pickleI ain't nothing but the monkey in the middle
