Lawyer Up
Lyrics by Hal Pollock
I was minding my own business when a man came up to me
“I got some papers for you son I think you’re gonna be
A very famous person or at least that what’s they say
But if I were a bettin’ man this ain’t your lucky day”
Lawyer up
Lawyer up
It’s the best thing you can do
When the man is out to get you
And you haven’t got a clue
Lawyer up
Lawyer up
It’s the thing they always say
When they slap the handcuffs on you
Send you on your merry way
So I got this fancy lawyer asked him what they want from me
He said “It don’t look good it’s just a matter of degree
They got you dead to rights I think their gonna make you squirm
You don’t need a lawyer son you need a whole law firm”
Lawyer up
Lawyer up
Send you on your merry way
Got to pay your lawyer
If you wanna get away
Lawyer up
Lawyer up
It’s the best thing you can do
It’s either that or settle for a room
Without a view
Today I went to court to see just what was gonna be
My lawyer told the judge that he was sure it wasn’t me
Said something ‘bout their tee time
and they seemed to both agree
The justice system works
Because the sheriff set me free
Lawyer up
Lawyer up
Or you’ll soon be doin’ time
You got to pay your lawyer
If you wanna beat the crime
Lawyer up
Lawyer up
It’s the best thing you can do
When the man is out to get you
And you haven’t got a clue
Lawyer up
Lawyer up
It’s the thing they always say
When they slap the handcuffs on you
Send you on your merry way
Lawyer up
They’re comin’ to get you
I
