Hail, Liar of the Year
His stinging eloquence torments his foes
His flawless arguments are fatal blows
His poisoned words are seeds of misery
His boastful wit can spell their tragedy
He scares them so, he's lawyer of the year
Defender of the law, his voice they fear
But then behind his fearless righteousness
He's not that great at all, he's small, he's less
For when his moneyed client strolls out free
I know my innocence cannot save me
The most I get today is sympathy
As he enjoys his fat attorney's fee
I heard he caused some serious injury
The court convicted him of perjury
A joking twist of fate for I'll be here
The cellmate of the liar of the year !
