    A sing-a-long country-type song about a unique variety of Oedipul angst. Kind of like Rocky Racoon.

    Story Behind the Song
    Nobody in the band was eating properly, and we were probably also very tired. We love the song and forget that it's kind of odd.

    Lyrics
    The Charlie Song
    by: Ives/Andreasen/Cameron
    from: The Zamboner Cometh


    Charlie walked into a bar one day
    And sat his ass on a stool.
    Raised his arm and ordered a pitcher
    Of Blatz Beer.

    He drank his pitcher down and then
    Started to stare.
    Nothing works in this town nowadays
    And I think I know why

    (the waitress asked, Why's that Charlie?)
    Because my mother Breast fed me- Until the
    Ripe old age of Three

    A priest walked into that day
    And sat his ass on a stool.
    My job aint what it used to be
    My work here might be through.

    The town is over, the church is cursed
    And I think I know why.
    Someone angered the lord almighty-
    And now He's not on our side

    (Charlie said, I know why.)

    Charlie leaned over and started to puke
    Purple hit the floor.
    I haven't seen that color in years
    Its usually red, green, or blue.

    The boy is cursed by the devil
    And its clear its all his fault.
    So they strung him up and hanged his ass
    And now the town was free
    (Why'd they hang you Charlie)- Chorus
