Lyrics
Eighty-Six Charlie came over
Eighty-Six Charlie approached
He asked me for a favor
He requested a favor from the speaker
Asked me a question
He posed a question
Asked me to make an exception
Asked the speaker to make an exception
Eighty-Six Charlie, he came back
Eighty-Six Charlie returned
Said he'd been thinking it over
Expressed reconsideration
Said he's had a change of heart
Noted a change of heart
He thinks he's made a grave mistake
Believes he made a serious mistake
But I, I'll never forget you
The speaker affirms they will never forget Eighty-Six Charlie
I'll never forget you
Reiteration of the speaker's commitment to remember
You make things so easy
Acknowledgment of the ease that Eighty-Six Charlie brought to the speaker's life
I'll never forget you
Reaffirmation of not forgetting Eighty-Six Charlie
Eighty-Six Charlie, he came back, he came back
Eighty-Six Charlie returns again
Sat down at the table, and for the last time
He sits at the table for the final time
Said he's finally made up his mind
Declares he has finally made a decision
He wonders if it's not too late
Contemplates if it's too late
It's not too late because
Assurance that it's not too late
I'll never forget you
Reiteration of not forgetting Eighty-Six Charlie
I'll never forget you
Reaffirmation of the speaker's enduring memory
You made me so angry
Acknowledgment of the anger caused by Eighty-Six Charlie
I'll never forget you
Final declaration of not forgetting Eighty-Six Charlie
