"Dancing With Charlie" lyrics

Dancing With Charlie

Charlie was a loser till that sunny day
No-one saw him leaving as he sailed away
Treated like a sinner
No-one gave a damn
Till Charlie threw two sixes
Now he's got them in his hand

Now they're waiting in line
To go dancing with Charlie
They wanna be seen
Dancing with Charlie

No-one seems to know how
No-one seems to care
Doesn't really matter
Just as long as you are there

Party in the moonlight
Free drinks at the bar
You can bet what's in your pocket
That Charlie won't be far

They're waiting in line
To go dancing with Charlie
They wanna be seen
Dancing with Charlie
Charlie

Charlie bought a jet plane
Charlie rides the sky
Friends appear from nowhere
Charlie gets them high

Big D was a gambler
With everything to lose
But Charlie didn't have anything
So he didn't have to choose

And they're waiting in line
To go dancing with Charlie
They wanna be seen
Dancing with Charlie

Dancing with Charlie
Dancing with Charlie

Dancing with Charlie
They're waiting in line
For dancing with Charlie
