"Charley And The Lady"
By Tom Rapp

I saw the Lady on the street
Went to say hello
But she wasn't home
Had an unlisted telephone

Oh my! Have you seen Charley's eyes?
Oh my! Have you seen Charley smile?

I went up to the Lady
She was walking in the ditch
I said: hello there, how are you?
But all she did was bitch, bitch, bitch

Oh my! Have you seen Charley's eyes?
Oh my! Have you seen Charley smile?

Charley is the one who finds you
When you cannot find yourself
She's so easy to be kind to
Really just being kind to yourself
Oh my! Have you seen Charley smile?

I went up to the Lady
Said: hey, I got the blues
But she just stood there looking down on me
Left me standing in my shoes

Oh my! Have you seen Charley's eyes?
Oh my! Have you seen Charley smile?

I said to the Lady: Please go away
In your big old empty icy bus
Well, the frostline broke across her face
And she melted into dust

Oh my! Have you seen Charley's eyes?
Oh my! Have you seen Charley smile?

Charley is the one who finds you
When you cannot find yourself
She's so easy to be kind to
Really just being kind to yourself

Oh my! Have you sene Charley's eyes?
