Charlie in the window, he was a pure bred cat.
Charlie in the window, so patiently he sat.
Charlie in the window meets people when he can.
Charlie in the window, he met the garbage man.
The window was the front part of a downtown Brooklyn store.
The window was his favorite place, for it was near the door.
Most days he stayed inside the store and never ventured out.
This day he slipped out through the door, as it did open stout.
He walked around the corner, then to where the alley sat,
And gathered in a garbage heap beside a cute stray cat.
He looked her in the face that day, and asked if she would stay.
She nodded quickly to his face, and asked if he would play.
They romped around that garbage heap, and scattered several cans,
Then scampered back on top of it, and sat there holding hands.
They were so happy on that pile of refuse left for days,
And Charlie in the window he just loved her reckless ways.
Their pleasure ended shortly when, the garbage man he came.
He cleaned up all the garbage, and though it was a shame,
Poor Charlie in the window then lost his cute stray cat,
