This song is a cover of the theme song to the ‘80s sitcom Charles in Charge, originally performed by Shandi Sinnamon. Relient K adds a second verse to the original song, which references both their Christian faith and the '90s TV show Baywatch.
[Intro]
Hey Charles, check this out, this is Fat!
[Verse 1]
New boy in the neighborhood
Lives downstairs and it's understood
He's there just to take good care of me
Like he's one of the family
[Chorus]
Charles in charge of our days and our nights
Charles in charge of our wrongs and our rights
So I say I want Charles in charge of me
[Verse 2]
Charles, I love you
I love you 'til the end
And I love Buddy
'Cause he's your best friend
Let's go hang out
You, me, and Jesus at your mom's pizza parlor
And maybe you can hook me up
With that girl who's from Baywatch and
On your show
[Chorus]
Charles in charge of our days and our nights
Charles in charge of our wrongs and our rights
So I say I want Charles in charge of me
[Bridge]
Charles in charge of our days and our nights
Charles in charge of our wrongs and our rights
Charles in charge of our days and our nights
Charles in charge of our wrongs and our rights
[Interlude]
Hey, this'll be Matt Thiessen on solo guitar
He's a bomb!
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Dang, that was terrible!
