Lyrics:

Oh Charlie's neat, Charlie's sweet

Charlie is a dandy

And every time he goes to town

He brings me sugar candy

I don't want none of your weebly wheat

Don't want none of your barley

Just take some flour and in half an hour

You'll bake a cake for Charlie

It's Charlie here it's Charlie there

It's Charlie over the ocean

And Charlie he'll come back again

If he don't change his notion

My pretty little pink I once did think

I'll never do without you

But since I lost all hope with you

I care very little about you

How old are you my pretty little miss

How old are you my honey

If I don't die of a broken heart

I'll be sixteen on Sunday

My rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum

Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh

Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum

Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh

Now can you court my pretty little miss

Now can you court my flower

I'll court more in a minute and a half

Than you can in an hour

Oh rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum

Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh

Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum

Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh

Oh marry me my pretty little miss

Oh marry me good looking

I'll marry you but I won't do

Your washing or your cooking

Oh rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum

Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh

Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum

Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh

Oh Charlie he's a nice young man

Oh Charlie he's a dandy

And every time he goes to town

He brings me sugar candy

I don't want none of your weebly wheat

I don't want none of your barley

Just take some flour and in half an hour

You'll bake a cake for Charlie

It's Charlie here it's Charlie there

It's Charlie over the ocean

And Charlie he'll come back again

If he don't change his notion

Thank you for posting, you saved my life! I'm performing the monologue of Agnes when she sings this song tomorrow and I had absolutely no idea how to sing the song until I finally found this one... Thanx :)
