If you're feeling down, depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
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 price

If you're waiting for a long time
For the rest to do their piece
You can tell her that you know me
You might even get it free
So anytime you're down on the keystone
Don't you hesitate to go
You can take my honest word for it
She'll teach you more than you can know

Charlie, can't you get 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 diseases?
Someday when you reach the age of forty
Won't you regret the days when you were lonely?
Nobody there will want to know
You won't have any beautiful ways to show anymore

22 Acacia Avenue
That's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside
The red lights burning bright tonight

Charlie, 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 life when you're gonna pay?

Sometimes when you're strolling down the avenue
We walk and make men think of a hooker you
When you're walking down the street
Everybody stops and turns to stare at you

22 Acacia Avenue
That's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside
The red lights burning bright tonight

Meet her, mistreat her
Do anything that you please
Invite her, excite her
Make her get down on her knees
Abuse her, misuse her
She can take more than you can
Caress her, molest her
She always gets 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?
Charlie, you've taken your life and you've thrown it away
You believe that because of your 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
There's no love for you, stop all that screwing
Come back in your face, you're coming with me
