If you're feeling down depressed and lonely I know a place where we can go 22 Acacia Avenue Meet a lady that I know
So if you're looking for a good time And you're prepared to pay the price Fifteen quid is all she asks for Everybody's got their vice
If you're waiting for a long time For the rest to do their piece You can tell her that you know me And you might even get it free
So anytime you're down the East End Don't you hesitate to go You can take my honest word for it She'll teach you more than you can know
Charlotte, can't you get out from all this madness? Can't you see it only brings you sadness? When you entertain your men Don't you know the risk of getting disease?
Someday when you're reaching the age of forty I bet you'll regret the days when you were laying Nobody then will want to know You won't have any beautiful wares to show anymore
22, the avenue That's the place where we all go You will find, it's warm inside The red light's burning bright tonight
Charlotte, isn't it time you stopped this mad life? Don't you ever think about the bad times? Why do you have to live this way? Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay?
Sometimes when your strolling down the avenue The way you walk it make men think of having you When you're walking down the street Everybody stops and turns to stare at you
22, the avenue That's the place where we all go You will find, it's warm inside The red light's burning bright tonight
Beat her, mistreat her Do anything that you please Bite her, excite her Make her get down on her knees
Abuse her, misuse her She can take all that you've got Caress her, molest her She always does what you want
You're running away, don't you know what you're doing? Can't you see? It'll lead you to ruin Charlotte, you've taken your life And you've thrown it away
You believe that because what you're earning Your life's good, don't you know that it's hurting? All the people that love you Don't cast them aside
All the men that are constantly drooling It's no life for you, stop all that screwing You're packing your bags You're coming with me
