Once he gets a mystic call 
Jump into his motorcar 
Once we're rolling down the road 
He's forgotten where to go 

Travelling with Charley 
My detective darling 

My agent hasn't solved a case 
My agent never finds a trace 
But Charley has always style 
Charley is always nice 

Poor Charley 
He would be nothing without me 

Once I clear his memory 
But he'll crash into a tree 
Once we're getting to the place 
Someone else has solved the case 

Travelling with Charley 
My detective darling 

My agent hasn't solved a case 
My agent never finds a trace 
But Charley has always style 
Charley is always nice 

Poor Charley 
He would be nothing without me 
But I do love himBeautiful one 

Smooth dreams in leaves 
Raised in teacup 
Sticked down to sleep 
Like an envelope 
Filled up with words for you 

Wrapped up in curls 
Sweet as the summer 
Cheek soft as a fur 
Grace in a slumber 
Beautiful wonderboy 

Soft beams from an early sun 
On my truly beautiful one 
Shimmer from a Saturday sun 
On my truly beautiful one 

Rise in the morning 
Shine 'til the dawning 

Stretched out to breathe 
Down from the rooftops 
Sticked down to sleep 
Like an envelope 
Filled up with words for you 

Travelling with Charley 

Once he gets a mystic call 
Jump into his motorcar 
Once we're rolling down the road 
He's forgotten where to go
