In the Middle of the House - Alma Cogan

作曲：Bob Hilliard

The railroad comes through the middle of the house

The railroad comes through the middle of the house

The trains all come through the middle of the house

Since the company bought the land

They let us live in the front of the house

They let us live in the back

But there ain't no living in the middle of the house

'Cause that's the railroad track

When a bill collector comes to the house

He knocks and bangs on the door

So we sit him right down in the middle of the house

And he never comes back no more

No he never comes back no more

The railroad comes through the middle of the house

The railroad comes through the middle of the house

It comes and goes through the middle of the house

And the trains are all on time

And here comes the five-o-nine

The railroad comes through the middle of the house

The in and out of the middle of the house

Right smack dab through the middle of the house

Where the parlor used to be

There's a great big door in the front of the house

There's a little old door in the back

But we can't have doors in the middle of the house

Cause that's the railroad track

A relative came to visit the house

He liked to scream and fuss

So we sat him right down in the middle of the house

And he never more bothered us

No he never more bothered us

Oh the railroad comes through the middle of the house

The railroad comes through the middle of the house

It comes and goes through the middle of the house

Since the trains are all on land

I'm singing this song in the middle of the house
