Some people go for funny drinks and down 'em by the pail Like coffee, cocoa, tea and milk and even Adam's ale For my part they can keep the lot I never would complain I wouldn't touch the bloomin' stuff, I only drink champagne. For, Chorus: Champagne Charlie is my name Champagne Charlie is my name There's no drink as good as fizz, fizz, fizz I'll drink every drop there is, is, is All round town it is the same By Pop! Pop! Pop! I rose to fame I'm the idol of the barmaids Champagne Charlie is my name. I earned my famous title thro' a hobby which I've got Of never letting others pay however long the shot Whoever drinks at my expense has no need to complain For everyone I treat alike I make 'em drink champagne. For, Chorus: Champagne Charlie is my name Champagne Charlie is my name There's no drink as good as fizz, fizz, fizz I'll drink every drop there is, is, is All round town it is the same By Pop! Pop! Pop! I rose to fame I'm the idol of the barmaids Champagne Charlie is my name. Perhaps you think what I say now is just a bit of chaff And only put into this song to raise a little laugh To prove that I'm not jesting and the sort of man I am I'm going to stand champagne all round and stand it like a lamb. For, Chorus: Champagne Charlie is my name Champagne Charlie is my name There's no drink as good as fizz, fizz, fizz I'll drink every drop there is, is, is All round town it is the same By Pop! Pop! Pop! I rose to fame I'm the idol of the barmaids Champagne Charlie is my name. |
