about

A drinking song about a girl named Charlie (who isn't actually a girl).

lyrics

Well I know a lass named Charlie
Whenever she comes around
They roll out the hoses
Before the town burns down

Now Charlie is a pretty lady
She’s a truly lovely girl
She’s at my door every night
She’s taken over my world

Ooh that sweet girl Charlie
She’s among the best
Ooh that tasty Charlie
I’m hers to test

Here comes my girl Charlie
She’s the queen of the crop
And here comes my Charlie
She’s never going to stop

Charlie is the devil
In handmaiden’s clothes
She looks so fuckin' sweet
Six inches from my nose

Ooh that damn girl Charlie
She thinks she’s the best
Ooh that tasty Charlie
She won’t let me rest

Now I see my Charlie
She’s a cheat and a scamp
Here comes my Charlie
She’s a first-rate tramp

I wish I could lose Charlie
She makes my life a mess
I want to ditch Charlie
Her and her fuckin' dress

Ooh that fuckin' Charlie
She owns my world
I just can’t bypass Charlie
That old-fashioned girl

Ooh go to hell Charlie
Let your choking cease
Ooh go to hell Charlie
And leave me in peace
