[Verse 1]
Waking up
It’s the fat back shank of the day
What to do?
Take a cup drink the sleepy away
Penny’s up
Hear the paws scratch the back of the door
The sun is out
Take a break, don’t know what it’s from

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I convince myself

Convince myself to stay?
That work just won’t do itself
That can wait another day

[Chorus]
One more day
In Charlie’s garden, oh
One more day
In Charlie’s garden, oh
Just one more day

[Spoken Word: Charlie Heaton]
Hey, uh, sorry to let you know last minute
I know you’re probably on your way
But we’re not going to get to you tonight
Maybe Thursday, maybe Friday?
I don’t know, sorry man

[Verse 2]
The fire’s on
It takes a day for the water to boil
Thank me now
For when the sun’s down we’re gonna be warm
The man is up
With a limp and rake in his hand

You doubt me now?
Well tomorrow you’ll be shaking my hand, oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
When will I release myself (Release myself)
Release myself today? (Ahh)
That work just won’t do itself (Won’t do itself)
I’ll just wait another day

[Chorus]
One more day
In Charlie’s garden, oh
One more day
In Charlie’s garden, oh (In Charlie’s, oh)

[Interlude]
Well, you better believe me, darling
Believe me

[Outro: Djo & Charlie Heaton]
In Charlie’s garden, in Charlie’s garden
Waking up (In Charlie’s garden)
It’s the fat back shank of the day
What to do? (In Charlie’s garden)
Take a cup drink the sleepy away
Penny’s up (Thursday; in Charlie’s garden)
Hear the paws scratch the back of the door (Thursday)
The sun is out (Friday; in Charlie’s garden)
Hey Joe, would you mind calling me back? (Saturday)
Unfortunately, uh, we’re gonna need ya
If you could just let us know if you’re coming in (Thursday, Friday)
Uh, yeah, sorry, bit of a mix up
