## Lyrics
[verse]
Down at the register office, folks all know my face by now,
'Cause I'm the latest fella that the widow up and vowed,
She's had a string of husbands, and funny thing, it's true,
They all came walking down the aisle wearing the very same shoe size too!

[chorus]
Every one of 'em was a Charlie, that's the name she likes the best,
Never mind a Tommy or a Freddie, only Charlie passed the test,
So I changed my name at the courthouse just to make the lady glad,
Now I'm number eight in a row of Charlies, and honestly, not bad!

[verse]
The butcher waves and calls out "Charlie!", so does the fellow at the pub,
Half the town forgot my old name, gave that habit up,
But the widow winks and kisses me and says I'm her favorite yet,
Guess when you're married to a legend, that's as good as it gets.

[chorus]
Every one of 'em was a Charlie, that's the name she likes the best,
Never mind a Tommy or a Freddie, only Charlie passed the test,
So I changed my name at the courthouse just to make the lady glad,
Now I'm number eight in a row of Charlies, and honestly, not bad!

[bridge]
Some folks think it's a little strange,
But love don't need to rearrange,
If eight lucky fellas wore the name before,
I'll gladly be the ninth one through that door.

[chorus]
Every one of 'em was a Charlie, that's the name she likes the best,
Never mind a Tommy or a Freddie, only Charlie passed the test,
So I changed my name at the courthouse just to make the lady glad,
Now I'm number eight in a row of Charlies, and honestly, not bad!
