The Lyrics

Sung by a bung jury. (Judge in brackets.)

Oh, you've been summoned now.
This jury's hearing out the proof.
Broke some rules of a sort?
Criminal trials we will often goof!

Blundering law court!
Ass-size decrees? Huh?
Are there secrets in the chambers?
Swear? Not me!

(Blundering law court!) What have you dooone?
(Blundering law court!) You were firing a gunnn?
(Blundering law court!) People choking on bloood?
(Blundering law court!) Is that breaking the lawww?
(Blundering law court! Not smart!)

Got the judge in tears.
Their barrister looks embarrassed now!
Ohh, juries love a beat.
Keep knocking with that fiiine gavel!

Blundering law court?
Which side are we? Huh?
Our bum-bailiff sounds quite lazy...
And so are we!

(Oyez, now, order!) It's time for lunch?
(Horrid and awful!) Only ravished a nun
(Punish that wrong tort!) Grounded now for a month?
(YOUNG ones are wards, dork!) So he's crazy, huh?
(Blundering law court! Short straws!)

[gavel solo]

(Oyez vey!)

Dunderhead law court?
Exhibit C? Huh?
Some Monet-da-Vinci paintings?
Let this guy free!

(Blundering law court!) How do we plead?
(Blundering law court!) Usually on our knees!
(Blundering law court!) We, the jury, resolve
(Blundering law court!) A coin-flipping result!
(Blundering law court! Aw gawd!)

(Court adjourned!) Really? We earned a cottage?

Bung jury? Funny concept and great execution. Comment adjourned.

Very, very clever and fun piece, Jake. A perfect example of an author varying the OS songs repetitive parts. You changed every line and made them fit and sound perfectly once the reader gets the rhythm of it...they all work in the story-line, too. And I liked how you used the (brackets) for the judge's lines...and that you explained it cleanly in the Pre-Comments. I'll have to sentence you to three terms of 5-5-5 here ~ ~ ~ keep this behaviour up and you be served up a lot more of these sentences ~ ~ ~
