Caroline and Carolyn
A tale of Caroline and Carolyn
Good friends they had always been
They were different as day and night
Caroline was very sweet and bright
Carolyn, a dark mood she'd be in
Caroline had a neighbor named Neil
Charged with insider trading, now out on appeal
A Wall Street stockbroker
He also played poker
He knew how to wheel and deal
Carolyn was a compulsive bettor
She'd bet on anything if you let her
She'd go through money like water
If she lost, wouldn't pay like she oughta
Which got her in trouble with a man who met her
Carolyn had made a wager
And like a crazy teenager
Didn't take her responsibilities seriously when she lost
Didn't realize the cost
The man said No pay? With a tiger he'd encage her
Her good friend Caroline was like a sister
Could she possibly assist her?
Before she referred her to Neil
Caroline said 'To pay off this bet, better not steal
No more betting, it's a pot you don't want to stir'
Neil said 'Honey, here's the deal, simple as Simon
I happen to have a hot diamond
To you this diamond I'll sell
Things should work out well
It's a crime, who cares? I've put my time in'
'If you want to do business, you see
Then your best friend I'm going to be
You resell the jewel
I know there's a rule
When it's done, we're gonna have fun, trust me'
What a mess! How does it end?
Carolyn feared the cops, her they'd apprehend
She said 'Should've saw the sign
Should've listened to sweet Caroline
Buy Neil's diamond? Said he'd be my best friend!'
