| Charlotte wanted to be a starlet |
| And kiss the blues goodbye |
| But all it did was make the little girl cry |
| Ever since she was a child, poor Charlotte |
| Dreamed of being a movie queen |
| Riding high on the Hollywood scene |
| She had to leave |
| Leave her own town |
| 'Cause she claimed it was getting her down |
| So she left and was Hollywood bound |
| Poor Charlotte, poor Charlotte |
| Wanted to be a starlet |
| If she had only listened to me |
| She would be happy |
| Charlotte knew that she was fine, poor Charlotte |
| Didn’t know she wouldn’t outshine |
| All the pretty girls that stood in line |
| Charlotte met this gigolo, poor Charlotte |
| He promised she’d have her own show |
| But she was green and just didn’t know |
| Yeah, she really wanted that show |
| Oh, how she really wanted that show |
| But the show fell through |
| She was so misused |
| And found herself all alone and blue |
| Charlotte finally made the headlines, poor Charlotte |
| Had fulfilled her childhood dream |
| By riding high on the Hollywood scene |
| Mmm |
| As the siren screamed, poor Charlotte |
| Was rushed from the top of a hill |
| She had taken too many pills |
| Whoa, Charlotte, poor Charlotte |
| Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte |
| Poor Charlotte (Charlotte, Charlotte) |
| Poor Charlotte |
| Poor Charlotte |
| Poor Charlotte |
| Alright, let’s move that crowd back over there |
| Listen, all you people move back, all youse people move back |
| Let’s get that ambulance in here |
| Hey, Rogers over there, get rid of those newspaper people |
| What do you think is going on here? |
| This ain’t no circus going on around here (Poor Charlotte) |
| Let’s move it outta here, get outta here |
| (Poor Charlotte) |
