Monkey In The Middle — текст песни (Rodney Atkins)

I get up like a rocket in a hurricane
Then it`s off to work like a runaway train
Drivin` them nails, draggin` my tail
It don`t take much to follow my trail, follow my trail
Back and forth in a game of pickle
I ain`t nothing but the monkey in the middle

Walking that sideshow tight rope making ends meet
That organ grinder be in a bind without me
In that circus they work us like a bunch of borrowed mules
But everytime that music plays I know what to do

Every Friday night at the honky tonk
Me and my baby make that dive jump
When our buckles bump, I tell you what
That girl is packing some powerful stuff, powerful stuff
And when we get home she plays me like a fiddle
Makin` sweet music with the monkey in the middle

Walking that sideshow tightrope, makin` ends meet
That organ grinder be in a bind without me
In that circus they work us like a bunch of borrowed mules
But everytime that music plays sugar I know what to do

And then.
I get up like a rocket in a hurricane
Then it`s off to work like a runaway train
Drivin` them nails, draggin` my tail
It don`t take much to follow my trail, follow my trail
Back and forth in a game of pickle
I ain`t nothing but the monkey in the middle
