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   betcha 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 him
