Charlie, the Midnight Marauder - The Limeliters[00:00:00]

Written by：Lucas/Gottlieb/Davis[00:00:00]

Calling car four one[00:00:02]

Calling car four one[00:00:04]

Investigate a code seven[00:00:06]

At one one six west 14 th street and report[00:00:09]

Looks like Charlie's at it again[00:00:13]

Oh Charlie was raised in the city[00:00:19]

He scoffed at the suburban life[00:00:21]

Till Satan disguised as a salesman[00:00:25]

Bewitched and bewildered his wife[00:00:27]

She heard of the pleasures of rural life[00:00:31]

With barbecues under the tree[00:00:34]

And so for a mere forty thousand[00:00:37]

He purchased their dream house with ease[00:00:39]

He rose before dawn every morning[00:00:43]

To dreamily fall into line yawn[00:00:46]

And follow that bumper before him beep beep[00:00:49]

To be on the job before nine[00:00:52]

His dream house of crumbling stucco[00:00:55]

Was more like a nightmarish load[00:00:58]

His weekends were spent in hard labor[00:01:01]

He dug and he pruned and he mowed[00:01:04]

One night an electrical failure woohoo[00:01:07]

Blacked out every street in the tract[00:01:10]

Our hero drove up in confusion[00:01:14]

But couldn't locate his new shack[00:01:16]

Each cracker box looked like the one next door[00:01:20]

As far as the eye could see[00:01:23]

He cursed to himself as he pondered[00:01:26]

Now where in the world can it be[00:01:28]

He searched 'til a door looked familiar[00:01:32]

Then tried out his key in the lock[00:01:35]

The door opened wide and he entered[00:01:38]

Poor Charlie was on the wrong block[00:01:41]

He strode to the couch of his sleeping love[00:01:45]

He kissed her and backed off in fright[00:01:48]

The girl he had kissed was a stranger[00:01:51]

Who screamed and ran out in the night[00:01:53]

They caught him a few minutes later[00:01:57]

Still rooted and shaking with fear[00:02:00]

They called him the Midnight Marauder[00:02:03]

And put him away for a year[00:02:06]

And put him away for a year[00:02:10]

And put him away for a year[00:02:13]

They called him the Midnight Marauder[00:02:16]

And put him away for a year[00:02:18]

When a salesman is touting suburbia[00:02:22]

He's doing it purely for self[00:02:25]

Remember the story of Charlie[00:02:29]

And tell him to move there himself[00:02:31]

And tell him to move there himself[00:02:34]

And tell him to move there himself[00:02:38]

Remember the story of Charlie[00:02:41]

And tell him to move there himself[00:02:43]
