Call Me Mr In Between

Call Me Mr In Between - Burl Ives

Well I'm too old for girls and I'm too young for women

I've looked all around and my hopes are a-dimming

I feel like a fish not allowed any swimming

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 dater

You see what I mean

Those sweet little things just set me a-drooling

I'm too big for sodas and I'm too old for schooling

Too young for loving but I'm too old for fooling

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 turning green

To see all the men making 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
