Lyrics

Charles, Charles

Mama

Boy, I told you not to skip like that

Like what, mama?

Come on

I been looking all over for you

I'll be late to work

Your brothers almost ready for school

When am I going to school?

Next year, when you a little more grown

I am grown

Robert went when he was six

I'm seven and I can read already

So there's no need to rush

Just a little longer 'til you're bigger and stronger

You don't want the other boys picking on you

Why would anyone pick on me?

I don't know, Charles, kids can be cruel

Come on, boys, time for school

Beat ya

Did not

Yes, I did

I was next

Next time, it'll be me

You boys be good and study hard

I want to go, it's not fair

Can you jump off that porch?

Sure, I can

Let's see you

I can do it, I swear

Let me try again

'Nother day

Come on now
