follow in my father's footsteps
not this prince
fill my father's shoes, the prospect
makes me wince
they can take my father's crown and pack it
they can also keep his old straight-jacket
i don't wanna be another mad king charley
why can't they leave me alone?
i only wanna be known
as that devil may care
perpetual heir to the throne
just goodtime charley
having my fill of fun
living for number one
goodtime charley
no work, all play
spreading the joy around
happy to just be crowned
goodtime charley
why can't i make them understand
i don't want to be charles the grand
or charles the great, i never could
all i want to be is good, oh
goodtime charley
having the time of my life
that's called the prime
that time's too short to pass up
fill my glass up
let's have a marvelous time
with goodtime charley
good for a drink and laugh
just make my epitaph
goodtime charley
good clothes, good friends
everythingg wealth can buy
happy to live and die
goodtime charley
why can't they see it's not for me
hearing here
comes
my
majesty
i thought by now i'd made it clear
all i want to hear is here comes
goodtime charley
having the time of my life
that's called the prime
remember charley's paying
keep on playing
it's my life to dance through
just give me the chance to
and i'll have a marvelous
who's kidding who now charley?
hah, good old charley
wake up, surrender
just charles the pretender
and having a terrible time!
