[ Featuring Lester Young, Count Basie Orchestra ]
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
This way, join the party
I say, meet McCarty
Hey, hey, Charlie take a bow
Ginger ale and white rock for his table
Grab a chair, move over there
And let him sit right next to Mabel
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
This way, meet The Dollies
I say, Zeigfield Follies
Hey Charlie, take a bow
See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie, oh boy, yeah
Ginger ale and white rock for his table
Grab a chair, move over there
And let him wait
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, good time Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
This way, join the party
I say, meet McCarty
Hey, hey, Charlie take a bow
See the smile on all those hungry faces
They can tell that he's a buyer
From those wide and open spaces
Clap hands, here comes Charlie
Clap hands, here comes Charlie now
He's a big man with the ladies
And sail her with his doubt
When he starts to wail and holler, 'Go man go'
Oh boy, there was Charlie
What joy, swingin' Charlie
Clap hands, there goes Charlie now
