Cosmic Charlie

Lyrics By: Robert Hunter Music By: Jerry Garcia

Cosmic Charley, how do you do? Truckin' in style along the avenue Dum dee dum dee doodley doo Go on home, your mother's calling you

Kalico Kahlia, come tell me the news Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her Rosy red and electric blue I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe

Say you'll come back when you can Whenever your airplane happens to land Maybe I'll be back here too It all depends on what's with you

Hung up waiting for a windy day Kite on ice since the first of February Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow But standing here, I say I just don't know

New ones coming as the old ones go Everything's moving here, but much too slow now A little bit quicker and we might have time To say "How do you do?" before we're left behind

Calliope wail like a seaside zoo The very last lately enquired about you It's really very one or two The first you wanted, the last I knew

I just wonder if you shouldn't feel Less concern about the deep unreal The very first word is "How do you do?" The last "Go home, your mama's calling you"

Calling you Calling you Calling you Calling you

Go on home your mama's calling you Go on home your mama's calling you Go on home your mama's calling you
