You used to wear his diamonds, you used to wear his pearls,
You fetched him drinks of champagne while he played with other girls.
When you flew to California, it was in his private jet.
I was just the pilot, that was how we met.
You gave up all his money so you could be with me,
And left him at his villa by the Caribbean sea.
He made his first big fortune selling short and buying long,
His parents never taught him that gambling was all wrong.
He used to live in New York, though he was born in Tennessee,
Until insider trading screwed him with the SEC.
You gave up all his money so you could be with me,
And left him with his lawyers by the Caribbean sea.
He turned to washing money for the boys from you know where,
Building crazy projects so they could get their share.
Bribing politicians, bending all the rules,
Partying with ministers, treating them like fools.
You gave up all his money so you could be with me,
And left him with his yes men by the Caribbean sea.
Nothing lasts for ever, things change fast down here,
People got too greedy, the end was drawing near.
Then came a change of government, the new boys weren't so nice,
And now he's facing twenty years of stewed pork and rice.
You gave up all his money so you could be with me,
And left him in his prison cell by the Caribbean sea.
