《Middle Man(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Middle Man (中间人) (LP版) - John Prine

[00:00:10] I was sitting in a diner

[00:00:12] With a girl named Flo

[00:00:13] She wouldn't say yes

[00:00:15] But she couldn't say no

[00:00:16] She said darling can I get a middle man

[00:00:21] She was engaged to a fellow

[00:00:23] On the lay a way plan

[00:00:24] Carried all her money

[00:00:25] In a coffee can

[00:00:26] She said darling can I get a middle man

[00:00:32] The cook looked over

[00:00:33] With a short order face

[00:00:35] Dropped a fork

[00:00:36] And he saw Flo's legs

[00:00:38] Straightened his apron

[00:00:39] And burnt my eggs

[00:00:40] I got competition

[00:00:41] Everywhere I go

[00:00:42] These days

[00:00:45] She was leaning on the jukebox

[00:00:47] And was looking real good

[00:00:48] Like Natalie wood

[00:00:49] On a Pontiac hood

[00:00:51] I said darling I think I need a little hand

[00:00:56] Ya see I've seen my downs

[00:00:58] I've seen my ups

[00:00:59] I seen miniature dogs

[00:01:00] In coffee cups

[00:01:01] But darling I ain't never seen a middle man

[00:01:07] Flo talked slow

[00:01:08] Like real wet paint

[00:01:09] She said a middle man's there

[00:01:11] When the other ones ain't

[00:01:12] He's got a left handed manner

[00:01:13] That leans to the right sleeps all day

[00:01:16] And keeps it up all night

[00:01:20] I got an aunt in Ohio

[00:01:21] And a boat that won't row

[00:01:23] Some veterans insurance

[00:01:24] And nowhere to go

[00:01:26] Darling can I be your middle man

[00:01:31] If I could get the money in that coffee can

[00:01:33] I could open me up a lemonade stand

[00:01:37] Send all the kids off to Pakistan

[00:01:39] Make Flo happy

[00:01:41] If I can

[00:01:55] Jerry ma honey and Johnny B good

[00:01:57] Are gonna buy me a house in Hollywood

[00:02:01] Darling I think I got the perfect plan

[00:02:06] We're gonna save half a dollars

[00:02:07] And sell 'em to France

[00:02:08] Buy us a record

[00:02:10] And learn how to dance

[00:02:11] And darling I'll always be your middle

[00:02:14] Darling go buy a griddle

[00:02:17] Darling I wanna be your middle man
