Middle Man (中间人) (LP版) - John Prine[00:00:00]
I was sitting in a diner[00:00:10]
With a girl named Flo[00:00:12]
She wouldn't say yes[00:00:13]
But she couldn't say no[00:00:15]
She said darling can I get a middle man[00:00:16]
She was engaged to a fellow[00:00:21]
On the lay a way plan[00:00:23]
Carried all her money[00:00:24]
In a coffee can[00:00:25]
She said darling can I get a middle man[00:00:26]
The cook looked over[00:00:32]
With a short order face[00:00:33]
Dropped a fork[00:00:35]
And he saw Flo's legs[00:00:36]
Straightened his apron[00:00:38]
And burnt my eggs[00:00:39]
I got competition[00:00:40]
Everywhere I go[00:00:41]
These days[00:00:42]
She was leaning on the jukebox[00:00:45]
And was looking real good[00:00:47]
Like Natalie wood[00:00:48]
On a Pontiac hood[00:00:49]
I said darling I think I need a little hand[00:00:51]
Ya see I've seen my downs[00:00:56]
I've seen my ups[00:00:58]
I seen miniature dogs[00:00:59]
In coffee cups[00:01:00]
But darling I ain't never seen a middle man[00:01:01]
Flo talked slow[00:01:07]
Like real wet paint[00:01:08]
She said a middle man's there[00:01:09]
When the other ones ain't[00:01:11]
He's got a left handed manner[00:01:12]
That leans to the right sleeps all day[00:01:13]
And keeps it up all night[00:01:16]
I got an aunt in Ohio[00:01:20]
And a boat that won't row[00:01:21]
Some veterans insurance[00:01:23]
And nowhere to go[00:01:24]
Darling can I be your middle man[00:01:26]
If I could get the money in that coffee can[00:01:31]
I could open me up a lemonade stand[00:01:33]
Send all the kids off to Pakistan[00:01:37]
Make Flo happy[00:01:39]
If I can[00:01:41]
Jerry ma honey and Johnny B good[00:01:55]
Are gonna buy me a house in Hollywood[00:01:57]
Darling I think I got the perfect plan[00:02:01]
We're gonna save half a dollars[00:02:06]
And sell 'em to France[00:02:07]
Buy us a record[00:02:08]
And learn how to dance[00:02:10]
And darling I'll always be your middle[00:02:11]
Darling go buy a griddle[00:02:14]
Darling I wanna be your middle man[00:02:17]
