Joseph Meyer, Billy Rose, Ballard McDonald
(1925). Funny Lady
Have you met my good friend Charley?
Well you've heard of him no doubt.
He's the great big Good Time Charley
That the girls all rave about.
He's as welcome at a party
As the flowers are in Spring;
Anytime they see him coming, Ev'ryone begins to sing. Clap hands! Here
comes Charley; Clap hands! Good
time Charley; Clap hands! Here
comes Charley now. This way meet the
dollies; I say Ziegfield
Follies; Hey! Hey! Charley,
take a bow See the smile on
all those hungry faces, They can tell that
he's a buyer, From those wide and open spaces; Clap hands! Here
comes Charley; Clap hands! Good
time Charley; Clap hands! Here
comes Charley now.
He's the life of ev'ry party,
And he pays and pays and pays;
And he cries when they put paddocks
On his favorite cafes.
He's a big man with the ladies,
And a sailor with his dough.
All the customers and waiters,
When they see him, yell "Let's Go!"
Clap hands! Here
comes Charley; Clap hands! Good
time Charley; Clap hands! Here
comes Charley now. This way join the
party; I say meet
McCarthey; Hey! Hey! Charley,
take a bow Ginger Ale and
White Rock for this table, Grab a chair, move
over there, And let him sit right next to Mable; Clap hands! Here
comes Charley; Clap hands! Good
time Charley; Clap hands! Here
comes Charley now.
