|
| 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! |
