Charlie was a loafer, Charlie was a lout, huh
But Charlie was the only bloke she ever cared about.

Each night when she's alone, Charlies there

Charlie was an arse, and they said he didn't care
But Charlie had a heart, now with her everywhere.

She always swears she knows that hes there
and from her bed echoes Charlie's prayer

'Charlies watching over me
Charlies watching, I can see
Charlie watching
over me'

They said he was a tramp a vagabond in a vest.
Charlie Charlie
But Charlie was the business
and she says he was the best.

And from her bed... Charlie's watching
[Guitar]

Charlie was a lout, but a hoboe
But Charlie was saint and he's our hero.

She always said she...

Charlie's watching...
