One In The Middle

One In The Middle Lyrics

THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE
Manfred Mann

Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds
The music that they're puttin' down
They started to play
On a rainy day
& the people came from miles around

CHORUS:
They didn't come for the rhythm
They didn't come for the beat
The people of the town
Came just to stand around
& see the singer lookin' sweet

Mike Hugg plays the drums, yeah
Tom McGuiness plays the diamond bass
But the one in the middle
Sings "Hey diddle diddle"
God, he's just a pretty face

(chorus)
They couldn't have!

(instrumental)

Manfred Mann plays the organ
Mike Vickers plays guitar
& there's a geezer called Paul
Who's so thin & so tall
& sure wants to be a star

(chorus)

(x6): See the singer lookin'...
Sweet
