Call Me Mr. In-Between
Burl Ives
Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between
Pickin's mighty lean, Mr. In-Between
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
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
Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between
Makes a fella mean, Mr. In-Between
Got a hotrod 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 'er
And you see what I mean
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 lovin' but I'm too old for foolin'
They call me Mr. In-Between
Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between
Tries to live so clean, Mr. In-Between
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 turnin' green
To see all the men makin' 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
Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between
Better leave the scene, Mr. In-Between
