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
