I was sitting in a diner

With a girl named Flo

She wouldn't say yes

But she couldn't say no

She said darling can I get a middle man

She was engaged to a fellow

On the lay a way plan

Carried all her money

In a coffee can

She said darling can I get a middle man

The cook looked over

With a short order face

Dropped a fork

And he saw Flo's legs

Straightened his apron

And burnt my eggs

I got competition

Everywhere I go

These days

She was leaning on the jukebox

And was looking real good

Like Natalie wood

On a Pontiac hood

I said darling I think I need a little hand

Ya see I've seen my downs

I've seen my ups

I seen miniature dogs

In coffee cups

But darling I ain't never seen a middle man

Flo talked slow

Like real wet paint

She said a middle man's there

When the other ones ain't

He's got a left handed manner

That leans to the right sleeps all day

And keeps it up all night

I got an aunt in Ohio

And a boat that won't row

Some veterans insurance

And nowhere to go

Darling can I be your middle man

If I could get the money in that coffee can

I could open me up a lemonade stand

Send all the kids off to Pakistan

Make Flo happy

If I can

Jerry ma honey and Johnny B good

Are gonna buy me a house in Hollywood

Darling I think I got the perfect plan

save half a dollars

And sell 'em to France

Buy us a record

And learn how to dance

And darling I'll always be your middle

Darling go buy a griddle

Darling I wanna be your middle man
