Charlie Big Potatoes Lyrics

Charlie Big Potatoes
Hey guess who I...
Hey!
Listen up you guys!
Hey guess who I
ran into only just the other day

Who? Who was it?

Charlie

Charlie Who?

Big Potatoes

Charlie Big Potatoes?

Charlie Big Potatoes
You remember him
And how
everybody used to say

Here comes Charlie
Couldn't give a damn
May as well be hung
for a sheep as a lamb.
Hey there Charlie
What you gonna do?
Bet you're gonna call on Miss Mary-Lou
Charlie is a gas
He's a real cool cat
You can ask him anything
and he'll tell you where it's at.
Telephones, politics, anything at all
Charlie holds the record
for the highest up the wall

Yeah

Yeah what he say, what he say?

Hold on!
He didn't say nothing
He was just sitting there all alone
in this low life bar
I said, "Hey,
Hey Charlie
Hey, how's it hangin'?"
He looked to me like he'd seen better days...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who Charlie?
You talking about Charlie?
Yeah, Charlie
Charlie Who?
Big Potatoes
Charlie Big Potatoes?
Charlie Big Potatoes
You remember him?Sure do!

And how he used to get around?

Here comes Charlie
Look at him go
With his wild wheeled pickup
with the stereo
Hey there Charlie, who you gonna see?
Bet you're gonna call on Miss Rose-marie
Charlie is a gas
He's a real cool cat
You can ask him anything
And he'll tell you where its at.
Cabbage-white butterflies
Anything at all
Charlie holds the record
for the highest up the wall

Yeah

Oh yeah
That's Charlie
One hell of a guy
I said, "Hey Charlie.
You look like you've been rode hard
and put away wet."
He looked up from his half-empty beer and said

"You talking to me?"

I said , "Yeah man, I'm talking to you."
So we had this kinda man-to-man talk
You know like talking man to man
Mano-a-mano

"Shut the fuck up.""You shut the fuck up.""No, you shut the fuck up.""Fuck you!""Fuck you, you fuck!""Fuck you? I shut the fuck up last time!""Who gives a fuck who shut the fuck up last time?"

"Well, maybe the fuck gives a fuck about who the fuck shuts the fuck up!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess you know the kind of thing by now...

Who the hell you talking about?

Charlie

Charlie Who?

Big Potatoes

Charlie Big Potatoes?

Charlie Big Potatoes

But he's one hell of a guy

Well... not any more

Why?

Turns out he tried to pull some drop dead gorgeous
catwalk chick with that old line
"You know what would look good on you?"
And she says "What?"
And he says "Me."
Do you know the one?

Yeah yeah yeah, we know the one! What happened?

Well - this beautiful babe takes her time...

And?

She kinda looks at him, up and down...

And?

And she finally says

Yeah, what's she say?

"Not even for practice."

Ooh, wow!

Well... she was from Australia...
Eucalyptusly chardonnet... if you know what I mean...

Yeah, we know what you mean

Yeah its a shame about poor old Charlie
Hell of a guy
Hell of a guy
One hell of a guy
One hell of a guy
Guess he was really tore up

Hee hee!
