Good Time Charlie

Stanley

Good time Charlie he's a ragamuffin minstrel
Just a street walkin' player of guitar
Good time Charlie, just a corner hangin' individual
Monday morning swinger on a star

Toe tappin' singin' for the people in the street to pass by
Pickin' out the smiles from his strings just a-tryin' to get by
He'll sing you a song and take you along
Playing for free, just for you and for me, yeah

Sidewalk standin' in his hat the coin's a landing
Silver tickets to get through another day
All day playing is just his way of sayin'
That a song can lead you down a better way

Early morning riser and a bad vibe despiser he's cool
Words he's a moldin' and the tunes he's a-foldin' his tools
He'll sing you a song and take you along
Playing for free, just for you and for me

Good time Charlie he's a lazin' dazin' individual
Mother nature's child of the streets
Good time Charlie he's a hummin' strummin' minstrel
Passing smiles out to everyone he meets

And take him along as you move all around about your day
Join in his song and in return throw a smile his way
He'll sing you a song and take you along
Playing for free, just for you and for me, yeah
