Champagne Charlie

Of gaiety I've seen a deal Thro'-out my boisterous life, But with all my grand accomplishments, I've ne'er otJtained a wife; The thing I most excel in, is: The "midnight supper game," A noise all night, in bed all day, And swimming in Champagne. For Champagne Charlie is my name, Champagne Charlie is my name,- Good for any game at night, my boys, Good for any game at night, my boys, Champagne Charlie i.s my name, Champagne Charlie is my nam~, Good for atiy game at night, bays/ Who'll come and join me in ii spree! Where pleasures reign in cafes fin e, And hotels gran.d I dwell, The girls on seei11g me exclaim , "Oh, what a Chanipagne swell !" The notion 'tis of ev'ry one, That if 'twer e not for my name, And causing so nmch to be dru nk , They'd never make Champagne. [Chorus]
