Cheer up, Charley
You ain't always been this big a mess
Sittin' outside the slims
Daytime drinkin' and feelin' sorry for yourself
I've seen you and Lorna
And you two walkin' down the street
You know she's headed straight down
And doom just got out of coffee creek
But I guess that's what you want too

So come on, come on, come on
Cheer up, Charley

Cheer up, Charley
You know your wife, she ain't comin' back
And I know she broke you and it breaks my heart
To see you laid so flat
You're usin' up all your vacation days
If you lose your job on the docks
It's a job you'll never get back

So come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, cheer up
Cheer up, Charley
Cheer up, Charley

There ain't no end to going down
There ain't no end to going down
There ain't no end
Cheer up, Charley

Cheer up, Charley
Cheer up, Charley
