Lyrics

[00:22.70] Drag the lake, Charlie
[00:25.20] Charlie, drag the lake
[00:27.01]
[00:27.88] Lester didn't come home last night
[00:30.44] And Wanda's all irate
[00:32.44]
[00:33.25] Better keep your fingers crossed
[00:35.81] And hope we find him drowned
[00:37.88]
[00:38.57] Wanda's gonna come and kill us all
[00:41.02] If he shows up in town
[00:42.97]
[00:54.84] Drag the lake, Charlie
[00:57.09] I heard that he was seen
[01:00.02] Cavortin' with ol' shorty
[01:02.20] Up at the line again
[01:05.57] Wanda's got that goddamn
[01:08.07] Pistol in her purse
[01:10.63] If she goes on the rampage
[01:13.08] They'll have to call the Hearse
[01:15.57] Better drag the lake, Charlie
[01:18.79] Charlie, drag the lake
[01:21.41] Remember what happened last time
[01:23.79] When Lester went on the lake?
[01:26.66] I heard it took the cleaning crew
[01:29.22] Two weeks to clean the bar
[01:32.28] They never found that teenage girl
[01:34.84] They never found the car
[01:37.52] Drag the lake, Charlie
[01:42.14]
[01:43.08] Drag the lake, Charlie
[01:46.64]
[01:48.63] It won't be the first time
[01:51.14] But it might be the last
[01:54.35]
[02:17.22] Drag the lake, Charlie
[02:19.72] And keep your fingers crossed
[02:21.78]
[02:22.34] And if you're friends with Jesus
[02:25.09] Please ask Him to help us
[02:27.77] Our best case scenario
[02:30.41] Is Lester turns up dead
[02:33.10] I'm almost out of Valium
[02:35.96] Courage and self-respect
[02:39.59]
[02:49.75] Drag the lake, Charlie
[02:53.49]
[02:55.19] Drag the lake, Charlie
[02:58.62]
[03:00.64] It won't be the first time
[03:03.22] But it might be the last
