My mother, she was an object
My sister, she was a rook
My father, he was a spider
And my brother is a bug.
Chorus:
And I'm just Mr. Inbetween
I'd like you to know just what I mean
My bones are made of solid steel
And my heel is on my hat, and I don't know where I'm at.
My father makes counterfeit money
My mother makes illicit gin
My sister sells kisses to sailor
Oh how the money comes rollin' in.
And I'm just Mr. Inbetween
I like you to know what I mean
My bones are made of solid steel
And my heel is on my hat, and I don't know where I'm at.
The magistrate thought I was a communist
The policeman he said I was a bum
Between them they arrested me for drunkness
But I swear I mean no harm to anyone.
Chorus:
'Cause I'm just Mr. Inbetween
I like you to know what I mean
My bones are made of solid steel
And my heel is on my hat, and I don't know where I'm at.
Chorus:
Yes I'm just Mr. Inbetween
I'd like you to know what I mean
My bones are made of solid steel
And my heel is on my hat, and I don't know where I'm at.
