Colin Meloy Charlie Lyrics

Oh Charlie's neat, Charlie's sweet
Charlie is a dandy

And every time he goes to town
He brings me sugar candy

I don't want none of your weebly wheat
Don't want none of your barley
Just take some flour and in half an hour
You'll bake a cake for Charlie

It's Charlie here it's Charlie there
It's Charlie over the ocean

And Charlie he'll come back again
If he don't change his notion

My pretty little pink I once did think
I'll never do without you

But since I lost all hope with you
I care very little about you

How old are you my pretty little miss
How old are you my honey

If I don't die of a broken heart
I'll be sixteen on Sunday

My rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh

Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh

Now can you court my pretty little miss
Now can you court my flower

I'll court more in a minute and a half Than you can in an hour

Oh rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh

Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh

Oh marry me my pretty little miss
Oh marry me good looking

I'll marry you but I won't do
Your washing or your cooking

Oh rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh

Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh

Oh Charlie he's a nice young man
Oh Charlie he's a dandy

And every time he goes to town
He brings me sugar candy

I don't want none of your weebly wheat
I don't want none of your barley

Just take some flour and in half an hour
You'll bake a cake for Charlie

It's Charlie here it's Charlie there
It's Charlie over the ocean

And Charlie he'll come back again
If he don't change his notion
