My goldfish Finster Darcy
Speaks English but not Farsi
He has an education
And moral reputation
He does kung-fu better than you
He's such an inspiration.
And there’s a Charlie
A character curiously cartooning
One of the Charlie’s careening and in crusade
Maybe someday he’ll be in a Macy Day parade
Charlie Chicken 1942 anthropomorphic chicken
And there’s Charlie Beary, a big daddy bear
Charlie of the Chocolate Factory, making all those chocolate candies
And there’s Charlie
A character curiously cartooning
One of the Charlie’s careening and in crusade
Maybe someday he’ll be in a Macy Day parade
Chuckle Charlie Finster
Picture always in the funny papers
Charles B. Barkin, was a dog, who went to heaven
Come eat with me play games for free
Chuck E. Cheese
And there’s Charlie
A character curiously cartooning
One of the Charlie’s careening and in crusade
Maybe someday he’ll be in a Macy Day parade
Old Charlie Dog little orphan Airedale
Charlie the Tuna fishing sooner
And there’s Charlie's stop curiously cartooning and careening with me laugh out loud
What’s with all these Charlies now?
