CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE

Champagne Charlie, Smoking Jo
Two speed demons all covered in snow
The sun went down but they don’t care
The soft wind blowing in their long blond hair
Things were fine, but they lost track of time,
And they spilled all their wine

Nothing mattered, they were feeling cool
Lots of money, they broke all the rules
They faced the tiger and the tiger got burned
So much success at nearly every turn
Things were alright, until they lost the light,
And they could no longer see

Hey what happened they were going strong!
Two speed demons they could do no wrong
They won’t recover, it will take too long
Champagne Charlie, Smokin Jo


He liked the bubbles, she liked the smoke
They loved the money; they would never end up broke
He played the guitar in an awesome country band
She played women’s volleyball in the San Diego sand
Things were great; they soon met heads-of-state,
But they ignored all the signs

Hey what happened they were going strong
Two speed demons they could do no wrong
They won’t recover, it will take too long
Champagne Charlie, Smokin Jo
They thought they had it but what did they know

SOLO ending with “things were fine, but they lost track of time, and they spilled all their wine”

The NYT said she saw someone on the side
When Charlie read the news he took a champagne ride
He passed the radar, going 101
A tragic set of circumstances, he just came undone
She began to cry, she could not testify,
Her show was cancelled live

Hey what happened they were going strong!
Two speed demons they could do no wrong
They won’t recover, it will take too long
