In Between Songtext
von James Barton

Now I′m younger than a gink that's pushing eighty
But I′m older than a punk of seventeen
I'm more than a lot are and less than some
I'm in between

Now I′m poorer than a man that′s got a million
But I'm richer than a bum without a bean
I′ve more than a lot have and less than some
I'm in between

Now I can soak up more rye whiskey
Than can half the men you′ll find
But there's still another half who
Can drink me dumb and blind
But as a lover I′d be way ahead of many
But there are many who's a-way ahead of me
And so it will go with the man you get
An ordinary in between he'll be
So why not me?


Now I like to be polite before a lady
But I ain′t no highfalutin European
Oh, my manners are good, but they ain′t the cream
You see, I'm sorta kinda in between

Now I′ve gathered up a tidy bit of learning
But a college wouldn't pick me for the dean
I′m as bright as the sun on a cloudy day
I'm in between

Now I′m not exactly yellow
Or the bravest man you'd see
But I'd fight a dozen Indians
That′s if fifty were with me

Oh, there′s a thousand ways of sayin' what I′m sayin'
But I′ll tell you plain and simple what I mean
I hope when you go to your room tonight
And turn down the blankets, I'll be seen
Ho ho
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
