MY DARLIN' CHARLIE K by Bob Hirschfeld and
Kate Searle (to the tune of My
Darlin Clementine)
In a suite in the Phoenician
Living high upon the hog
Dwelt a Keating, fortune fleeting,
Continental's demagogue.
Chorus:
Oh my savings, oh my savings,
oh my savings, Charlie K
They are lost and gone forever
You'll be sorry, Charlie K
From Columbus in Ohio
Stopping smut was what he'd sworn
Though the Citizens were Decent,
What he did to them was porn.
Chorus (Singalong):
Oh my savings, oh my savings,
oh my savings, Charlie K
They are lost and gone forever
You'll be sorry, Charlie K
He developed and he financed,
Every cent they had, he sunk
Little ladies in their eighties
Found his bonds were made of junk.
Chorus (Singalong):
Oh my savings, oh my savings,
oh my savings, Charlie K
They are lost and gone forever
You'll be sorry, Charlie K
Regulators, 'vestigators,
Said the rules, he couldn't bend
Charlie Keating, help was needing,
Bought a favor from his friends.
Chorus (Singalong):
Oh my savings, oh my savings,
oh my savings, Charlie K
They are lost and gone forever
You'll be sorry, Charlie K
So they hauled him to the courtroom,
Charged him more than forty-nine
Swindlin' money, 'tisn't funny,
That's why Charlie's doing time.
Chorus (Singalong):
Oh my savings, oh my savings,
oh my savings, Charlie K
They are lost and gone forever
You'll be sorry, Charlie K
