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
