Charlie's Garden Songtext
von Djo

Wakin′ up, it's the fat back shank of the day
What to do? Take a cup, drink the sleepy away
Penny′s up, hear the paws scratch the back of the door
The sun is out, take a break, don't know what it's from

How can I convince myself
Convince myself to stay?
That work just won′t do itself
That can wait another day

One more day in Charlie′s garden, oh
One more day in Charlie's garden, oh
Just one more day

Hey, uh, sorry to let you know last minute
I know you′re probably on your way
But we're not gonna get to you tonight
Maybe Thursday, maybe Friday?
I don′t know, sorry man


The fire's on, it takes a day for the water to boil
Thank me now for when the sun′s down, we're gonna be warm
The man is up with a limp and rake in his hand
You doubt me now? Well tomorrow you'll be shakin′ my hand, oh, yeah

When will I release myself (release myself)
Release myself today? (Ah)
That work just won′t do itself (won't do itself)
I′ll just wait another day

One more day in Charlie's garden, oh
One more day in Charlie′s garden, oh (in Charlie's, oh)

Well, you better believe me, darlin′
Believe me

In Charlie's garden, in Charlie's garden
Wakin′ up (in Charlie′s garden), it's the fat back shank of the day
What to do? (In Charlie′s garden), take a cup, drink the sleepy away
Penny's up (Thursday, in Charlie′s garden) hear the paws scratch the back of the door (Thursday)

The sun is out (Friday, in Charlie's garden) hey Joe, would you mind callin′ me back? (Saturday)
Uh-uh, unfortunately, uh, we're gonna need ya
Um, if you could just let us know if you're comin′ in (in Charlie′s garden, Thursday, Friday)
Uh, yeah, sorry, bit of a mix-up (in Charlie's)
