[00:00:00] Charlie, the Midnight Marauder - The Limeliters

[00:00:00] Written by：Lucas/Gottlieb/Davis

[00:00:02] Calling car four one

[00:00:04] Calling car four one

[00:00:06] Investigate a code seven

[00:00:09] At one one six west 14 th street and report

[00:00:13] Looks like Charlie's at it again

[00:00:19] Oh Charlie was raised in the city

[00:00:21] He scoffed at the suburban life

[00:00:25] Till Satan disguised as a salesman

[00:00:27] Bewitched and bewildered his wife

[00:00:31] She heard of the pleasures of rural life

[00:00:34] With barbecues under the tree

[00:00:37] And so for a mere forty thousand

[00:00:39] He purchased their dream house with ease

[00:00:43] He rose before dawn every morning

[00:00:46] To dreamily fall into line yawn

[00:00:49] And follow that bumper before him beep beep

[00:00:52] To be on the job before nine

[00:00:55] His dream house of crumbling stucco

[00:00:58] Was more like a nightmarish load

[00:01:01] His weekends were spent in hard labor

[00:01:04] He dug and he pruned and he mowed

[00:01:07] One night an electrical failure woohoo

[00:01:10] Blacked out every street in the tract

[00:01:14] Our hero drove up in confusion

[00:01:16] But couldn't locate his new shack

[00:01:20] Each cracker box looked like the one next door

[00:01:23] As far as the eye could see

[00:01:26] He cursed to himself as he pondered

[00:01:28] Now where in the world can it be

[00:01:32] He searched 'til a door looked familiar

[00:01:35] Then tried out his key in the lock

[00:01:38] The door opened wide and he entered

[00:01:41] Poor Charlie was on the wrong block

[00:01:45] He strode to the couch of his sleeping love

[00:01:48] He kissed her and backed off in fright

[00:01:51] The girl he had kissed was a stranger

[00:01:53] Who screamed and ran out in the night

[00:01:57] They caught him a few minutes later

[00:02:00] Still rooted and shaking with fear

[00:02:03] They called him the Midnight Marauder

[00:02:06] And put him away for a year

[00:02:10] And put him away for a year

[00:02:13] And put him away for a year

[00:02:16] They called him the Midnight Marauder

[00:02:18] And put him away for a year

[00:02:22] When a salesman is touting suburbia

[00:02:25] He's doing it purely for self

[00:02:29] Remember the story of Charlie

[00:02:31] And tell him to move there himself

[00:02:34] And tell him to move there himself

[00:02:38] And tell him to move there himself

[00:02:41] Remember the story of Charlie

[00:02:43] And tell him to move there himself
