Goodbye, Charlie

(album: From Hello Dolly To Goodbye Charlie - 1964)

Goodbye, Charlie
Hate to see you go
Goodbye, Charlie
Gee, I'm feeling low
But I'm clueing you in
Someone's doing you in, pal

Goodbye, Charlie
Hate to see you fade
My, my Charlie
Thought you had it made
But, they're dumping you off
After bumping you off, pal

Don't you know lechery
Leads you to treachery
Things boomerang
Someone you trifle with
Pulls out a rifle without a pang
Bang, bang, bang

Goodbye, Charlie
Cashing in your chips
Wild-eyed Charlie
Time you came to grips
There ain't
No doubt
Strike three
You're out
Goodbye, Charlie
Goodbye

Now don't you know lechery
Leads you to treachery
Things boomerang
Someone you trifle with
Pulls out a rifle without a pang
Bang, bang, bang

Goodbye, Charlie
Cashing in your chips
Wild-eyed Charlie
Time you came to grips
And there ain't
No doubt
Strike three
You're out
Goodbye, Charlie
Goodbye
