[Chorus] Charlene, I'm crying (Charlene) So close to you, darling (Charlene) We're naked and laughing (Charlene) You shine on my batteries, Charlene [Post-Chorus] Charlene, Charlene Charlene [Verse 3] Let me get you out of that lake, Charlene Your dress is red and oh so slippery, Charlene [Interlude] I guess I have to dry you Dress you and comb you You're already late I'll sort you out [Chorus] Charlene, I'm crying So close to you, darling We're naked and laughing You shine on my batteries, Charlene [Post-Chorus] Charlene, Charlene Charlene Charlene, Charlene Charlene
