Lyric Woman Goin Crazy On Caroline Street

By: Jimmy Buffett, Steve Goodman
1975
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 ...
