Charles Brown works hard all day 
 Doesn't get home till the sky’s gray 
 Sees his children tucked in bed 
 He's a man that gets them fed 
    Sits down by the fireside 
 The tears fill his eyes 
 The wind blowing 
 And the storm is growing 
 Aren't you glad you're inside?   
 What a quiet life he's had 
 Don't you think it's very sad?   
 Stays his bed till ten o'clock 
 On his weekly one day off 
 Takes his kids down to the park 
 Till the sky starts getting dark   
 What a quiet life he's had 
 Don't you think it's very sad?   
 Monday morning comes so fast 
 Makes him wonder 
 How the time goes past 
 Another week of graft and grime 
 Another week's HP to find   
 What a quiet life he's had 
 Don't you think it's very sad?
