	作词 : Waits
	hey Charley I'm pregnant
	and living on 9-th street
	right above a dirty bookstore
	off cuclid avenue
	and I stopped taking dope
	and I quit drinking whiskey
	and my old man plays the trombone
	and works out at the track.

	and he says that he loves me
	even though its not his baby
	and he says that he'll raise him up
	like he would his own son
	and he gave me a ring
	that was worn by his mother
	and he takes me out dancin
	every saturday nite.

	and hey Charley I think about you
	everytime I pass a fillin' station
	on account of all the grease
	you used to wear in your hair
	and I still have that record
	of little anthony & the imperials
	but someone stole my record player
	how do you like that?

	hey Charley I almost went crazy
	after mario got busted
	so I went back to omaha to
	live with my folks
	but everyone I used to know
	was either dead or in prison
	so I came back in minneapolis
	this time I think I'm gonna stay.

	hey Charley I think I'm happy
	for the first time since my accident
	and I wish I had all the money
	that we used to spend on dope
	I'd buy me a used car lot
	and I wouldn't sell any of em
	I'd just drive a different car
	every day dependin on how
	I feel.

	hey Charley
	for chrissakes
	do you want to know
	the truth of it?
	I don't have a husband
	he don't play the trombone
	and I need to borrow money
	to pay this lawyer
	and Charley, hey
	I'll be eligible for parole
	come valentines day.
