1. 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       
 
2. and you might even get it free
   So any time 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

After playing the first verse repeat from beginning of song

3. Charlotte can't you get out from all this madness
   Can't you see it only brings you sadness

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

5. Charlotte isn't it time you stopped this mad life
   Don't you ever think about the bad times
RIFF D
   Why do you have to live this way
   Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay
RIFF C

RIFF C
6. Sometimes when your strolling down the avenue
   The way you walk it make men think of having you
RIFF D
   When you're walking down the street
   Everybody stops and turns to stare at you
RIFF C

Chorus



I will continue some other time...
