Charlie |
| This morning 'bout half past four |
| They had a big confusion next door |
| This morning 'bout half past four |
| They had a big confusion next door |
| The women said openly |
| «Charlie you’re avoiding me |
| And you’re getting me head confused |
| With all your blasted lying excuse» |
| Man, you’re always sleepy |
| And you’re always tired |
| When you ain’t hungry |
| Is when you feeling bad |
| In the night I can’t touch you |
| You does even vex when I watch you |
| But between food and sleep and the thing where I want |
| Which more important? |
| They argue 'til break of day |
| I couldn’t hear what the fella say |
| But the woman was getting on |
| You could see sh wasn’t making fun |
| Like she ain’t getting satisfaction |
| With this sleepy had old man |
| So the morning she ran amok |
| Bawling «Charlie come and do you work!» |
| Man, you’re always sleepy |
| And you’re always tired |
| When you ain’t hungry |
| Is when you feeling bad |
| In the night I can’t touch you |
| You does even vex when I watch you |
| But between food and sleep and the thing where I want |
| Which more important? |
| Imagine me ah just come |
| From the club ah loaded with rum |
| Ah can’t even stand up straight |
| So ah lean me head on me gate |
| Is then I hear the chouchou |
| «Charlie I got feelings too!» |
| When I hear how Charlie back-back |
| Ah sober up and push me ears in the crack |
| Ah hear: |
| You’re always sleepy |
| And you’re always tired |
| When you ain’t hungry |
| Charlie is the time you feeling bad |
| In the night I can’t touch you |
| You does even vex when I watch you |
| But between food and sleep and the thing where I want |
| Which more important? |
| Before I know what they talking 'bout |
| «Clicks!» |
| I see the lights went out |
| Ah hear the bedroom door shut «Bram!» |
| So I decide well it’s time to scram |
| But ah drunk and ah staggering |
| Wayla, wayla, ah started singing |
| Ah fall down in a rubbish pan |
| And ah singing the chorus like the woman |
| Charlie sleepy, you’re always sleepy |
| And you’re always tired, sleepy-head! |
| When you ain’t hungry |
| Is when you feeling bad |
| In the night I can’t touch you |
| You does even vex when I watch you |
| But between food and sleep and the thing where I want |
| Which more important? |
| Shame on you, Charlie! |
