Lyrics
Now I don’t know who’s been talkin’ to you,
But as for Jim and me,
Well, didn’t I do as he asked me to?
Let go and set him free?
And wasn’t I keepin’ my silence
While he flung his little flings?
And didn’t I let him have his way
With his sweet young things?
I surely let him have his way
With his sweet young things!

You think it’s too difficult givin’ him up?
Is that what you’re tryin’ to say?
Well, it’s livin’ hell on earth, girl,
To tighten your corset and stay!
Now what could be sadder than marriage
To a goat that’s meant to roam?
And what could be worse than lovin’ a man
Who won’t sleep home?
There’s nothin’ worse than lovin’ a man
Who won’t sleep home!
The charmin’, charmin’, charmin’ son-of-a-bitch!
He never grew up,
So what else can you do
Than to come runnin’ when he calls for help.
And give till it hurts you to!

A pipe and slippers and fireplace
Would surely shrivel him dry!
But the stripe of his pants,
The cut of his coat
Bring sunshine to his eye!
Let him lead the parade,
Throw the first ball,
Receive the cheers of the crowd!
For it’s lookin’ his best
And givin’ his all
That does his honor proud!
It’s greetin’ his guests at City Hall
That does his honor proud!

And it isn’t for me
And it isn’t for you
To tell him to come or to go!
If you love him the way you say you do,
There’s somethin’ you should know!
You’re not the first and chances are
You’re not gonna be the last!
If you’re thinkin’ about your future, girl,
You’d better be thinkin’ fast!
Start thinkin’ about tomorrow, girl!
Tomorrow’s comin’ fast!
The charmin’. charmin’, charmin’ son-of-a-bitch!
The light of my life!
Sweetest of the sweets!
Oh, and the Irish way that slips its way
Into your heart and between your sheets!
How does it feel to have your back against the wall,
Now that you have to draw the line?
I know that you love that
Charmin’, charmin’ son-of-a-bitch
Of yours and mine!
