Goodtime Charlie

Lyrics

[SALLY] I don't like to cough When the coughing might lead to a tiff Cliff But you do have a problem And frankly it worries me stiff Cliff Whenever we argue As argue we frequently do Cliff The fault, my dear brute Lies not in our stars, but in you Cliff You're such a Goodtime Charlie, how can I cope with you? You're such a Goodtime Charlie, frolicking all the time Weighty considerations haven't a hope with you You take the night and spin it Out for the pleasure in it Always a laugh a minute Tell me, my Goodtime Charlie, how can I keep the pace? Not with a Goodtime Charlie frolicking all the time All I can do is wonder here in my quiet place What do I tend the nest for Keeping the curtains pressed for When you've an endless zest for Having a good time? You're such a Goodtime Charlie, what'll I do with you? You're such a Goodtime Charlie skylarking all the time All of your Charleston partners pointing a shoe with you Might have the strength to keep up Watching the morning creep up Willing to give their sleep up But tell me, my Goodtime Charlie, when will you leave that race? When will your fingers ache from snapping them all the time? All I can do is question here in my humble place What do I pot and pan for Keep the place spic and span for When you would rather plan for Having a good time? For me, that's true And as for you Tell me, my Goodtime Charlie, when will it ever stop? When will your knees give out from slapping them all the time? I hear the kettle whistle, you hear the Champagne pop How can our love go on, Cliff? What is it based upon, Cliff When you're the hell and gone, Cliff? Frolicking all the time... Soon you'll be tossing me out Sweeping the old debris out So you'll be free to be out Having a good time Always a good time You're such a Goodtime Charlie
