Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you join the boardroom table, three pillars hold you steady
Care demands your full attention, homework done and meeting ready
Due diligence your compass, reasonable judgment your decree
Business judgment rule protects you when decisions flow honestly

[Chorus]
C-L-O, the trinity that guides
Care, Loyalty, Obedience by your side
Duty calls when shareholders depend
Fiduciary bonds that never bend
C-L-O, remember what you owe
The company's trust wherever you go

[Verse 2]
Loyalty means conflicts vanish, personal gain takes second seat
Corporate opportunity doctrine, company gets first retreat
Self-dealing transactions crumble under scrutiny's harsh glare
Interested director voting, fairness standards must declare

[Chorus]
C-L-O, the trinity that guides
Care, Loyalty, Obedience by your side
Duty calls when shareholders depend
Fiduciary bonds that never bend
C-L-O, remember what you owe
The company's trust wherever you go

[Verse 3]
Obedience to charter limits, bylaws bind your every move
Ultra vires actions forbidden, stay within your corporate groove
Waste of assets brings swift judgment, reasonable compensation's test
Board resolutions need quorum, proper notice for the rest

[Bridge]
Derivative suits and D&O coverage
Indemnification your privilege
Business judgment presumption strong
Till gross negligence proves you wrong

[Chorus]
C-L-O, the trinity that guides
Care, Loyalty, Obedience by your side
Duty calls when shareholders depend
Fiduciary bonds that never bend
C-L-O, remember what you owe
The company's trust wherever you go

[Outro]
Board minutes document your wisdom
Conflicts disclosed in corporate kingdom
Three duties carved in legal stone
Fiduciary, you're never alone
