Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

This way, join the party
I say, meet McCarty
Hey, hey, Charlie take a bow

Ginger ale and white rock for his table
Grab a chair, move over there
And let him sit right next to Mabel

Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

This way, meet The Dollies
I say, Zeigfield Follies
Hey Charlie, take a bow

See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces

Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie 
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie 
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie 
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie, oh boy, yeah

Ginger ale and white rock for his table
Grab a chair, move over there
And let him wait
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

This way, join the party
I say, meet McCarty
Hey, hey, Charlie take a bow

See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces

Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie
Clap hands, [bad word] Charlie now

He's a big men with the ladies
And sail hes doubt
When he starts to wail and holler,
"Go man go" go
Oh boy, there was Charlie
What joy, swingin' Charlie
Clap hands, there goes Charlie now
