Did you see that man in the limousine 
With the pretty doll, he is fifty and the girl's only seventeen 
But she doesn't care, and she never will 
If he's ninety-five she don't give a damn 
Just as long as he pays the bill 

Did you see that man with a fat cigar 
He just left his lovers with a belly full of lobster and caviar 
He can choose the wine from a vintage year 
He will drink champagne in his limousine 
Where the rest of the street can peer 

'Cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle 
Just like a spider in a cobweb 
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross 
'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle 
He's never bothered by his conscience 
Deals with the Devil, 'cause he wants to be 
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle 
In the middle 
(in the middle, in the middle...) 

But you see that man made a big mistake 
Even though he's got all his servants and a mansion beside a lake 
And the money too, all that he can spend 
He can buy the most, nearly anything 
But he can't buy the lot, his friend 

'Cause he's the man in the middle, never second fiddle 
Just like a spider in a cobweb 
Hard as a hammer, not the kind of boss you double-cross 
'Cause he's the man in the middle, knows the way to diddle 
He's never bothered by his conscience 
Deals with the Devil, 'cause he wants to be 
Man in the middle, the middle, the middle 
In the middle 
(in the middle, in the middle...)
