THB BARTENDER'S GUIDE AND SONG BOOK
Champagne Charlie
Of gaiety I've seen a deal Thro'-out
my
boisterous life,
But with all my grand accomplishments, I've ne'er otJtained a wife;
The thing
I
most excel
in,
is: The "midnight supper game,"
A noise
all night,
in bed
all
day, And swimming
in
Champagne.
For
Champagne Charlie is my
name,
Champagne Charlie is
my
name,-
Good for any game at night, my boys, Good for any game at night,
my boys,
Champagne Charlie
i.s
my name, Champagne Charlie
is
my
nam~,
Good for atiy game
at
night, bays/ Who'll come and join me in
ii
spree!
Where pleasures reign in cafes fin e, And hotels gran.d I dwell,
The girls on seei11g me exclaim , "Oh, what a Chanipagne swell !"
The notion 'tis of ev'ry one, That if 'twer e not for my name,
And causing so nmch to be dru nk , They'd never make Champagne.
[Chorus]
