|
Fore!
|
|
Straight down the middle
|
It went straight down the middle
|
Then it started to hook just a wee wee bit
|
That's when my caddie lost sight of it
|
That little white pellet has never been found to this day
|
But it went straight down the middle like they say
|
|
Whack down the fairway
|
It went smack down the fairway
|
Then it started to slice just a smidge off line
|
It headed for two then it bounced off nine
|
My caddie says long as you're still in the state you're okay
|
Yes it went straight down the middle quite a ways
|
|
The sun was never brighter
|
The greens were never greener
|
And I was never keener to play
|
I heared it came down the middle
|
It went zing down the middle
|
Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom
|
There's always the lies in the locker room
|
And I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
|
That it went straight down the middle today
|
|
Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom
|
Though they should charge just for listening in the locker room
|
But I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
|
That it went straight down the middle
|
Where it wound up is a riddle
|
But it went straight down the middle far away
|
|
