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
  
 
 Yeah 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 ...
