Won't cha throw me, jellyroll me,
Smack dab in the middle of it all.
Come and find me, wine and dine me,
And let me rock 'n' roll to soothe my soul.
Pick me a town in any clime,
Where people like a rockin' good time.
And stay awake both day and night,
'Til ev'rybody's feelin' good and right, then throw me
Smack dab in the middle, pitch me
Smack dab in the middle, chuck me
Smack dab in the middle,
And let me rock 'n' roll to satisfy my soul.
I want ten Cadillacs and a diamond mill.
Ten suits of clothes to dress to kill.
I wanna a ten room house and some barbeque,
And fifty chicks not over twenty-two, then throw me
Smack dab in the middle, tuck me
Smack dab in the middle, pull me
Smack dab in the middle now,
And let me rock 'n' roll to satisfy my soul.
I wanna lot of bread and gangs of meat.
Oodles of butter and somethin' sweet,
With loads of coffee just to wash it down.
Bicarbonated soda by the pound, then throw me
Smack dab in the center, child.
I'm talkin' 'bout the holy ghost tonight,
Just throw me smack dab in the middle now,
And let me rock 'n' roll to satisfy my soul.
I wanna satisfy my soul.
It's the kind of constitution that your mama forbade, look out!
I'm a sucker for the center of a Tootsie Pop.
Take a look at the mess I'm in.
It's a moral epidemic they say.
When the drummer sets the feet to flyin', front and center's where I'll be.
Don't knock it if you never would, ever could, anyone, anywhere
Would be dyin' to satisfy it.
Just keep me rockin' and reelin',
I need a swingin' ol' time where ev'rybody's feelin' alright.
We gotta be raisin' the ceilin',
Just keep the music playin' on, and we'll be singin' all night.
I wanna be smack dab in the center,
And let me rock 'n' roll to satisfy my soul.
Wanna a swingin' band and a hundred fine ballet girls,
A street that's paved with natural pearls,
Bring me a wagonload of bonds and stocks,
And open up the door to Fort Knox, then throw me
Smack dab in the middle, push me
Smack dab in the middle, shove me
Smack dab in the middle,
Let me rock, let me roll, let me satisfy my soul.
Smack dab in the middle my friend,
Right from the top, take it staight to the end.
Smack dab in the middle,
And let me rock 'n' roll to satisfy my soul,
And let me rock 'n' roll to satisfy my soul,
And let me rock 'n' roll
My soul, my soul, my soul,
Smack dab, let me rock 'n' roll, smack dab,
etc.
