Charlie is an ordinary fellow to most everyone but Flo, his Flo
She's convinced that Charlie is a very extraordinary beau, some beau
And every evening in the dim light
She has a way of putting him right
Charlie my boy, oh Charlie my boy
You thrill me, you kill me, with shivers of joy
You've got the kind of, sort of, bit of a way
That makes me, takes me, tell me what shall I say?
And when we dance I read in your glance
Whole pages, and ages, of love and romance
They tell me Romeo was some lover too
But boy, he should have taken lessons from you
You seem to start where others get through
Oh, Charlie my boy
Charlie's dad and mother and his sister and his brother
Call him him Ted, some Ted
While his girl's relations say if he would stay away we'd have
Some rest, some rest
Her father's cleaning up his rifle
But he says dearie that's the strife of
Charlie my boy, oh Charlie my boy
You thrill me, you kill me, with shivers of joy
You've got the kind of, sort of, bit of a way
That makes me, takes me, tell me what shall I say?
And when we dance I read in your glance
Sweet notions, and oceans, of love and romance
My mother told me that I shouldn't be kissed
But then your coaxing ways are hard to resist
My lips refuse, but your eyes insist
Oh, Charlie my boy
And when we dance I read in your glance
Whole pages, and ages, of love and romance
They tell me Romeo was some lover too
But boy, he should have taken lessons from you
You seem to start where others get through
Oh, Charlie my boy
