Mister In Between:Burl Ives.
#19 in 1962.
INTRO:
Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between..picking s mighty lean,
Mr. In-Between.
#1.
Well, I m too old for girls, and I m too young for women.
I ve looked all around and my hopes are a dimmin .
I feel like a fish not allowed any swimmin .
And it makes a fella mean..
#2.
To feel he s a part of the lost generation.
I feel like a choo-choo that can t find the station.
I work like a dog with no recreation.
They call me Mr. In-Between.
CHORUS:
Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between..makes a fella mean..
Mr. In-Between.
#3.
Got a hot rod Chevy with a twin carburetor.
And I know a gal that s a real sharp tomater.
And she s got a Daddy with a Caddy that ll date her.
You see what I mean?
#4.
Those sweet little things just set me a droolin .
I m too big for sodas and I m too old for schoolin.
Too young for loving but I m too old for foolin .
They call me Mr. In-Between.
CHORUS:
Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between..tries to live so clean..
Mr. In-Between.
#5.
I feel like a sailboat kept in a bottle.
I feel like an engineer that can t find the throttle.
I m too small to walk but I m too big to toddle.
And, Lordy, I m turning green..
#6.
To see all the men making time with the ladies.
The high school kids at the show with their babies.
While I run around like a dog with the rabies.
They call me Mr. In-Between.
CHORUS:
Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between..better leave the scene..
Mr. In-Between.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
