My Dads A Lawyer by Geoff Berner Lyrics
You think you're a funny guy
Funny how and funny why?
I don't know what makes you tick
Me off like you do
But it's true I can sue
Because
My dad's a lawyer
Doo doo doo doo doo
I thought you'd wanna know
My dad's a lawyer
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
While you're still free to go
You don't like the way I sing?
Well go ahead, take a swing
Take with a grain of salt
And battery
But don't come crying to me
Because
My dad's a lawyer
Doo doo doo doo doo
It's a privilege to announce
My dad's a lawyer
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Look out, he's gonna pounce:
You're gonna wish you never messed with me
You're gonna get your wages garnisheed
You're gonna go where the food and the lodging's free
(You've been there before)
It's back, back to the joint
Well, go ahead and call the cops
I'll make bail in two hours, tops
We're all equal before the law-
Yer takes his fee
But for me it's all free
Because
My dad's a lawyer
Doo doo doo doo doo
If Jesus Christ had been like me
My dad's a lawyer
Oo oo oo oo oo
They'd never have nailed him to that tree
'Cause my dad's a lawyer
Gonna destroy ya
With power of attorney
Power to burn! He's
Gonna get the job done
Funny how and funny why?
I don't know what makes you tick
Me off like you do
But it's true I can sue
Because
My dad's a lawyer
Doo doo doo doo doo
I thought you'd wanna know
My dad's a lawyer
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
While you're still free to go
You don't like the way I sing?
Well go ahead, take a swing
Take with a grain of salt
And battery
But don't come crying to me
Because
My dad's a lawyer
Doo doo doo doo doo
It's a privilege to announce
My dad's a lawyer
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Look out, he's gonna pounce:
You're gonna wish you never messed with me
You're gonna get your wages garnisheed
You're gonna go where the food and the lodging's free
(You've been there before)
It's back, back to the joint
Well, go ahead and call the cops
I'll make bail in two hours, tops
We're all equal before the law-
Yer takes his fee
But for me it's all free
Because
My dad's a lawyer
Doo doo doo doo doo
If Jesus Christ had been like me
My dad's a lawyer
Oo oo oo oo oo
They'd never have nailed him to that tree
'Cause my dad's a lawyer
Gonna destroy ya
With power of attorney
Power to burn! He's
Gonna get the job done
