john prine - middle man (live) كلمات أغنية

[intro]
this for ram and jeff kelly
it’s called, “darling, can i be your middle man?”

[verse 1]
i was sitting in a diner with a girl named flo
she wouldn’t say yes, she couldn’t say no
she said, “darling, can i get a middle man?”
she was engaged to a fellow on the layaway plan
but she carried all her money in a coffee can
she said, “darling, can i get a middle man?”
the cook looked over with a short order face
dropped a fork, saw flo’s legs
straightened his apr_n and burnt my eggs
i got competition everywhere i go these days

[verse 2]
lеaning on the jukebox, lookin’ real good
likе natalie wood on a pontiac hood
i said, “darling, i think i need a little hand”
you see, i’ve seen my downs, seen my ups
i seen miniature dogs in coffee cups
but darling, i ain’t never seen a middle man
flo talked slow like real wet paint
said, “a middle man’s there when the other ones ain’t”
that’s how she said it
he’s got a left_handed manner that leans to the right
sleeps all day and keeps it up all night”
[verse 3]
i got an aunt in ohio, a boat that won’t row
some veterans insurance and nowhere to go
darling, can i be your middle man?
if i could get the money in that coffee can
i could open me up a lemonade stand
send all the kids off to pakistan
make flo happy, if i can

[verse 4]
jerry mahoney and johnny b. goode
are gonna buy me a house in hollywood
darling, i think i got the perfect plan
we’re gonna save half a dollars and sell ’em to france
buy us a record and learn how to dance
and darling, i’ll always be your middle
darling, go buy a griddle
darling, i wanna be your middle man
