Verse1

New Years Eve dealing with an obstinate black angus

I said raise your glasses high,

Charlie did the opposite lowered his and tossed it aside

Best believe he drank the champagne from it first though

He confided in a peer amongst the happy herd,

Had he not he feared of bad luck throughout the year to flow

Chorus

Oh Charlie oh Charlie why did you do us like that, why did you do us like that?

Verse2

The happy herd was prancing around once midnight struck

Except Charlie was sitting in a stream of water like a sour duck

He had no excuses as to his behavior

He just vented he wanted no special favors

He didn’t understand himself why he was acting this way

But decided this was him for the rest of the stay

Chorus

Oh Charlie oh Charlie why did you do us like that, why did you do us like that?

Verse3

The rest of the herd encouraged his engagement

but he chose the cold pavement

From cold muddy water to cold stone where he chose to lament

There was no suggesting an alternative as his mind was made up to stick to the cement

Bridge

Charlie seemed to be a sore loser and would join in the festivities

He boldly proclaimed I’d stay seated even if met with celebrities.

Chorus

Oh Charlie oh Charlie why did you do us like that, why did you do us like that?
