Chorus: 

There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street 

Stoppin' every man that she does meet 

Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet 

I'll show you my place on Caroline Street 



She claimed in a loud voice to be a dancer 

But I don't think she's cut a rug in years 

Listens to the jukebox for her answers 

Slowly guzzles twenty-five cent beers 



Talks about the men she's known and then some 

She's seen them in her dreams and on the street 

She slides her dapper legs from beneath the table 

As if to reveal some kind of treat 



Chorus: 

There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street 

Stoppin' every man that she does meet 

Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet 

I'll show you my place on Caroline Street 



Her lover left her stranded in Jamaica 

Just right now she can't recall his name 

Perceiving she's the center of attention 

And all the lurking eyes they look the same 



Weather's got the shrimpers in a frenzy 

They're horny and don't need a good excuse 

Someone yells and things just start erupting 

And in a flash all hell has broken loose 



Chorus: 

There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street 

Stoppin' every man that she does meet 

Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet 

I'll show you my place on Caroline Street 



(instrumental) 



When I woke up and looked around the barroom 

She was gone and I was black and blue 

So be careful when you go to swing your partner 

Someone just might take a swing at you 



Chorus: 

There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street 

Stoppin' every man that she does meet 

Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet 

I'll show you my place on Caroline Street 



Ya there's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street 

Stoppin' every man that she does meet 

Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet 

I'll show you my place on Caroline Street 



There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street 

Stoppin' every man that she does meet ...
