Johnny Charlie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] John wakes up at six a.m., the kettle starts to groan I call out to Alexa, make a horn blast through the home Then Judge comes by to wake me up and swing the front door wide Johnny Charlie’s still asleep, refusing to decide [Pre-Chorus] I say, “Get up, you sleepyhead!” He pulls the blanket to his head [Chorus] You’re a little rascal, every time I see you, I get sick Then you grin and steal my toast—oh, you’re impossible, you little prick I think I adore you, though I swear I don’t know why I love you so much—what the hell?—you make me laugh until I cry [Verse 2] The hallway’s full of footsteps and one very confused old shoe The horn goes off, the dog runs in, the neighbors yell, “Who’s who?” Johnny Charlie finally rises, hair pointing at the sky He says, “Was that the breakfast bell?” I say, “No, just my cry” [Pre-Chorus] I say, “You’ve got one minute, bud!” He yawns and asks me where his mug is [Chorus] You’re a little rascal, every time I see you, I get sick Then you grin and steal my toast—oh, you’re impossible, you little prick I think I adore you, though I swear I don’t know why I love you so much—what the hell?—you make me laugh until I cry [Bridge] At six o’clock, the door swings wide You stumble out, I walk beside We bicker all the morning through And somehow I still save a seat for you [Final Chorus] You’re a little rascal, every time I see you, I get sick Then you grin and steal my toast—oh, you’re impossible, you little prick I think I adore you, though I swear I don’t know why I love you so much—what the hell?—you make me laugh until I cry [Outro] The horn goes off, you shout, “Not yet!” I love you, Johnny—don’t forget.
