I went back to that fast food place To the manager with the happy face I said, "I want the name of whoever brewed that pot" I'm gonna talk to my lawyer I think I've got a pretty good case All I need are some crutches Maybe I'll put on a neck brace I've got a witness To put a hand on the Bible Jury jury hallelujah Somebody's liable
