Ah! Man in the middle lane

You’re annoying me with no blinkers

Going nowhere

You’re going somewhere

Far away from where the rest of us

Too close to my liking

Too close up my rear

You! Man in the middle lane

Honk! Pon! Pon! Move!

Why don’t you move

Far away from the old road

There’s too much room you’re taking

I’m on the express lane and

I just wanna zoom… zoom…

Vroom… vroom… out of your sight

Indicate, can’t you indicate?!

You’re everywhere yet nowhere

You! Point me with your thumb

Show me the way you’re heading

Or I’ll show you my finger

Hesitate once more and I’ll honk!

I promise you, I’ll honk!

Cast my eyes half moon so you’ll feel small

But you won’t

You can’t even see where the rest of us are heading at your 50km/h pace

Its 100 these days

You’ll be left behind hogging the express lane

Beam him, honk him, they say

But he’ll still not see

He’s just a man in the middle lane.
