Verse 1:
You know I'm sorry 'bout ol' Charlie,
And the way he had to go.
It was messy and most gnarly,
Now I would like to know -
How should we clean the mess up?
How should we patch up all these walls?
And another thing most urgent,
Though I know that it galls

Chorus:
What should we do with the body?
We can't just leave it here!
Charlie has got to go to someplace,
Have we suggestions where?

Verse 2:
(spoken)The Bathtub?
We cannot keep him in the bathtub.
Even though he may still leak?
If we keep him in the bathtub,
He'll smell bad in a week.
(spoken)The Garden?
And also not in the flower garden.
Why just look at mama glare!
But he'd be such fertilizer.
Dad is already there!
Right

Chorus:
What should we do with the body?
We can't just leave it here!
Charlie has got to go to someplace,
Have we suggestions where?

Verse 3:
Maybe we can put him in the freezer,
Right beside the birdseye peas.
He would fit inside the freezer
If we chop off his knees. (spoken)then he can sing a patella
Or we can put him through the grinder
And a meatloaf we can make,
For you know there's nothing finer
Than a ground Chuck steak.

Chorus:
