[Verse 1]
You've got yourself in a fine mess now, Charlene
You're either absolutely mad or you are joking, Charlene
[Chorus 1]
Charlene, I'm crying
So close to you darling
We're naked and laughing
You shine on my batteries, Charlene
Charlene, Charlene, Charlene, Charlene
[Verse 2]
I have always adored your witty mouth, Charlene
Now, would you please be very, very rude to them, Charlene
[Chorus 2]
Charlene, I'm crying (Charlene)
So close to you darling (Charlene)
We're naked and laughing (Charlene)
You shine on my batteries, Charlene
Charlene, Charlene, Charlene, Charlene
[Verse 3]
Let me get you out of that lake, Charlene
Your dress is red and, oh, so slippery, Charlene
[Bridge]
I guess I have to dry you
Dress you and comb you
You're already late
I'll sort you out
[Chorus 3]
Charlene, I'm crying
So close to you darling
We're naked and laughing
You shine on my batteries, Charlene
Charlene, Charlene, Charlene
Charlene, Charlene, Charlene
