I got a story for you, some unusual truth
Of a man who was best at what he did
He went to school for more years than his usual peers
‘Cause his profession didn’t allow any less

Right out of college his dream job was found
A lawyer at a high-end company
Well, the unusual truth was he would never lose
‘Cause when he interrogated, he would sing

And he’d say,
“Why did ya do what ya did sir?
Just tell the truth, and you’ll be free.”
And everyone would burst out
And everyone would tell the truth
‘Cause Singer Lawyer Man knew how to sing

It was peculiar and the judges knew so too
But it was so entertaining there was nothing they could
And every time the jury had to decide what was right
The lawyer man’s song would be in their heads all night

He’d say,
“Why did ya do what ya did sir?
Just tell the truth, and you’ll be free.”
And everyone would burst out
And everyone would tell the truth
‘Cause Singer Lawyer Man knew how to sing

Well, he argued ‘til he was an old man
‘Til he was an old man, longer sane
He argued ‘til he couldn’t be heard
‘Til they couldn’t hear what they sang

And they asked
“How did ya do what ya did, sir?
Just tell the truth, and we’ll be free!”
And he looked at ‘em strange, tilted his head
And said, “I used to know how to sing.”

Well, he argued ‘til he was an old man
‘Til he was an old man, longer sane
He argued ‘til he couldn’t be heard
‘Til they couldn’t hear what they sang

And they asked
“How did ya do what ya did, sir?
Just tell the truth, and we’ll be free!”
And he looked at ‘em strange, tilted his head
And said, “Ya gotta know how to sing.”
