Charlie Boy

Charlie boy, don't go to war

First born in '44

And Kennedy made him believe

We could do much more

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

And Lillian, don't hang your head

Love should make you feel good

In uniform you raised a man

Who volunteered to stand

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Play the bugle, play the taps

Make your mothers proud

Raise your rifles to the sky, boys

Fire that volley loud

And news was bad on Upland Ave

Metuchen mourn our loss

And sons rebelled, while fathers yelled

And mothers clutched the cross

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Play the bugle, play the taps

Make your fathers proud

Raise your rifles to the sky, boys

Fire that volley loud
