[Verse 1]
Cosmic Charlie, how do you do?
Trucking in style along the avenue
Dum de dum de doodley do
Go on home, your mama's calling you
Kalico, Kahlia, come tell me the news
Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her
Rosy red and electric blue
I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe
[Bridge]
Say you'll come back when you can
Whenever your airplane happens to land
Maybe I'll be back here, too
It all depends on what's with you
[Verse 2]
Hung up waiting on a windy day
Kite on ice since the first of February
Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow
But standing hеre I say I just don't know
New ones coming as thе old ones go
Everything's moving here but much too slowly
A little bit quicker and we might have time
To say "how do you do" before we're left behind
Calliope wail like a seaside zoo
The very last lately inquired about you
It's really very one or two
The first you wanted, the last I knew
Cosmic Charlie, how do you do?
Trucking in style along the avenue
Dum de dum de doodley do
Go on home, your mama's calling you
Kalico, Kahlia, come tell me the news
Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her
Rosy red and electric blue
I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe
[Bridge]
Say you'll come back when you can
Whenever your airplane happens to land
Maybe I'll be back here, too
It all depends on what's with you
[Verse 2]
Hung up waiting on a windy day
Kite on ice since the first of February
Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow
But standing hеre I say I just don't know
New ones coming as thе old ones go
Everything's moving here but much too slowly
A little bit quicker and we might have time
To say "how do you do" before we're left behind
Calliope wail like a seaside zoo
The very last lately inquired about you
It's really very one or two
The first you wanted, the last I knew
