Pick me a town in any clime
Where people like a rockin' time
And stay awake both day and night
'Til everybody's feeling good and right

Then throw me smack dab in the middle
Pitch me smack dab in the middle
Chunk me smack dab in the middle
Let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Ten Cadillacs and a diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes to dress to kill
A ten room house and some barbeque
Fifty chicks not over twenty-two
Then throw me smack dab in the middle

Chunk me smack dab in the middle
Hurl me smack dab in the middle
Let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

A lot of bread and gangs of meat
Oodles of butter and something sweet
With gallons of coffee to wash it down
Bicarbonated soda by the pound

Then throw me smack dab in the middle
Chunk me smack dab in the middle
Dump me smack dab in the middle
Let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

I want Count Basie's band and a hundred chorus girls
A street that's paved with natural pearls
Bring me a wagon load of bonds and stocks
Then open up the door to Fort Knox

And throw me smack dab in the middle
Chunk me smack dab in the middle
Hurl me smack dab in the middle
Let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
Let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
