A letra:
Well
I don't know why I came here tonight.
I've got the feeling that
something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my
chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.
Clowns to the left of
me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with
you.
Yes I'm stuck in the
middle with you,
And I'm wondering what
it is I should do.
It's so hard to keep this smile from my
face.
Losing control and running all over the place.
Clowns to the left of
me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with
you.
When you started off
with nothing
And you're proud that your a self-made
man.
Ooooo-ooo-oooh
And your friends they all come
crawling,
Slap you on the back and say
Please . . .
Please .
. .
Trying to make some
sense of it all
But I see it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool
to go to sleep on the floor?
I don't think that I can take
anymore.
Clowns to the left of
me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with
you.
When you started off
with nothing
And you're proud that your a self-made
man.
Ooooo-ooo-oooh
And your friends they all come
crawling,
Slap you on the back and say
Please . . .
Please .
. .
Well I don't know why I
came here tonight.
I've got the feeling that something ain't
right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm
wondering how I'll get down the stairs.
Clowns to the left of
me!
Jokers to the right!
Her I am stuck in the middle with
you.
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you . . .
Yes I'm stuck
in the middle with you . . .
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
. . .
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you . . .
