as rec by Vikki Carr w Orch cond by Bob Florence  1966


Goodbye Charlie,
Hate to see ya go!
Goodbye Charlie,
Gee I'm feelin' low!
But I'm cluein' you in,
Someone's doin' you in.
Pal!

Goodbye Charlie,
Hate to see ya fade!
Goodbye Charlie,
Thought ya had it made!
But they're dumpin' you off
After bumpin' you off,
Pal!

Well, don't ya know lechery
Leads ya to treachery?
Things boomerang!
Someone ya trifled with
Pulled out a rifle with-
-out a pang,
Bang bang bang!

Goodbye Charlie,
Cashin' in your chips!
Why why Charlie?
Time ya came to grips!
There ain't no doubt,
Strile three, you're out!
Goodbye Charlie,goodbye!

Goodbye Charlie,
Hate to see ya go!
Goodbye Charlie,
Gee I'm feelin' low!
But I'm cluein' you in,
Someone's doin' you in.
Pal!

Goodbye Charlie,
Oh I hate to see ya fade!
Goodbye Charlie,
Well you thought ya had it made!
But they're dumpin' you off
After bumpin' you off,
Pal!

Well, don't you know lechery
Leads ya to treachery?
Things boomerang!
Someone ya trifled with
Pulled out a rifle with-
-out a pang,
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!

Goodbye Charlie,
Cashin' in your chips!
Why like Charlie?
Time ya came to grips!
There ain't no doubt,
Strile three, you're out!
Goodbye Charlie,goodbye!
