The Ballad of Charli

[Verse] In a small town by the river’s bend Came Charli Doc and friend With gadgets in a cluttered bag Brewing coffee Never a drag [Verse 2] Always a grin from ear to ear Festival time Charli's near Dancing through the twinkling night Heart of gold Beaming bright [Chorus] Oh Charli With a heart so wide In every shadow You’d confide Gave your shirt And more to spare A guardian spirit Always there [Verse 3] Listening for the town's heartbeat No one's pain You'd ever mis-treat With stethoscope around your neck You kept worries far in check [Bridge] Under lanterns Stars You roamed In this quaint town You found your home With every gadget Coffee brew You chased our blues Made skies blue [Verse 4] In the fields where children play You'd join their games without delay No soul too small No joy too grand With you Dear Charli Life's jazz band
