I LIE TO MY LAWYER

Words & Music By Dave Sturtz

I lie to my lawyer

I lie to my lawyer, then he lies for me

They ought to lock me up and throw away the key

But I never met a jury that wouldn’t set me free

So I lie to my lawyer then he lies for me

I’ve never been afraid to twist the truth

It’s the legacy of my misguided youth

I keep an angel’s grin in my garbage can

It’s a clean disguise for a dirty man

I lie to my lawyer, then he lies for me

They ought to lock me up and throw away the key

But I never met a jury that wouldn’t set me free

So I lie to my lawyer then he lies for me

SOPRANO SAX SOLO

I’m an evil man on your TV screen

I’ve got an evil plan for your dream machine

And you may never know just what you’ve missed

‘Cuz I’m the world’s very best ventriloquist

I lie to my lawyer, then he lies for me

They ought to lock me up and throw away the key

But I never met a jury that wouldn’t set me free

So I lie to my lawyer then he lies for me

I lie to my lawyer then he lies for me, I lie to my lawyer then he lies for me
