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
