        CALL ME MR. IN-BETWEEN
           by Burl Ives          (Died 1995 at age 85)
             (1962)

G
Well, I'm too old for girls and I'm too young for women
     D 
I've looked all around and my hopes are a-dimmin'
   C
I feel like a fish not allowed any swimmin'
                     D
And it makes a fella mean


    G
To feel he's a part of the Lost Generation
   D
I feel like a choo-choo that can't find the station
   C
I work like a dog with no recreation
                        D
They call me Mr. In-Between

         G                 D                     C
(Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between Pickin's mighty lean, Mr
        D
. In-Between)

       G
Got a hotrod Chevy with a twin carburetor
    D
And I know a gal that's a real sharp tomater
     C
And she's got a Daddy with a Caddy that'll date 'er
                D
You see what I mean

       G
Those sweet little things just set me a-droolin'
     D
I'm too big for sodas and I'm too old for schoolin'
     C
Too young for lovin' but I'm too old for foolin'
                       D
They call me Mr. In-Between

            G               D                    C
(Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between Pickin's mighty lean, Mr
        D
. 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 turnin' green


To see all the men makin' 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


(Mr. In-Between, Mr. In-Between Pickin's mighty lean, Mr. In-Between)
