Lyrics

Good morning, worm your honor
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
This will not do
Call the schoolmaster!

I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape
But my hands were tied
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder
Let me hammer him today?

Crazy, toys in the attic I am crazy
Truly gone fishing
They must have taken my marbles away
(Crazy, toys in the attic he's crazy)

You little shit you're in it, now
I hope they throw away the key
Yer should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no! you had to go
Your own way, have you broken any
Homes up lately?
Just five minutes, worm your honor
Him and me, alone

Baaaaaaaaaabe!
Come to mother baby
Let me hold you in my arms
M'lud I never wanted him ta
Get in any trouble
Why'd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honor, let me take him home

Crazy
Over the rainbow, I am crazy
Bars in the window
There must have been a door there in the wall when I came in
(Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy)

The evidence before the court is
Incontrovertible, there's no need for the jury to retire
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving a
The full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate!

"Go on judge, shit on him!"
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers
Tear down the wall!
