Charlie's Garden
Lyrics of Charlie's Garden by Djo
Verse
Wakin′ up, it's the fat back shank of the day
What to do? Take a cup, drink the sleepy away
Penny′s up, hear the paws scratch the back of the door
The sun is out, take a break, don't know what it's from
Pre-chorus
How can I convince myself
Convince myself to stay?
That work just won′t do itself
That can wait another day
Chorus
One more day in Charlie′s garden, oh
One more day in Charlie's garden, oh
Just one more day
Verse
Hey, uh, sorry to let you know last minute
I know you′re probably on your way
But we're not gonna get to you tonight
Maybe Thursday, maybe Friday?
I don′t know, sorry man
Verse
The fire's on, it takes a day for the water to boil
Thank me now for when the sun′s down, we're gonna be warm
The man is up with a limp and rake in his hand
You doubt me now? Well tomorrow you'll be shakin′ my hand, oh, yeah
Pre-chorus
When will I release myself (release myself)
Release myself today? (Ah)
That work just won′t do itself (won't do itself)
I′ll just wait another day
Chorus
One more day in Charlie's garden, oh
One more day in Charlie′s garden, oh (in Charlie's, oh)
Bridge
Well, you better believe me, darlin′
Believe me
Outro
In Charlie's garden, in Charlie's garden
Wakin′ up (in Charlie′s garden), it's the fat back shank of the day
What to do? (In Charlie′s garden), take a cup, drink the sleepy away
Penny's up (Thursday, in Charlie′s garden) hear the paws scratch the back of the door (Thursday)
Outro
The sun is out (Friday, in Charlie's garden) hey Joe, would you mind callin′ me back? (Saturday)
Uh-uh, unfortunately, uh, we're gonna need ya
Um, if you could just let us know if you're comin′ in (in Charlie′s garden, Thursday, Friday)
Uh, yeah, sorry, bit of a mix-up (in Charlie's)
