If you're feeling down
Depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go (go [2x])
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 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 (know [4x])
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?
Some day when you're
Reach 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
