Ignorance of the Law Is No Excuse
Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse
By Elton Camp
Weird laws are on the books in every state
Some abuse they at one time tried to regulate
For violations we aren’t likely to be arrested
But in the courts, very few have been tested
Alabama won’t allow a mustache that is fake
If in church any irreverent laugh it should make
Alaska says there’s to be no whispering in an ear
If with a moose hunt it should somehow interfere
If in Arkansas you fail to pronounce the name right
t is a crime and theoretically can get you in a tight
In Florida, if you tie an elephant to a parking meter
The laws requires that just as a car you must feed ‘er
In Georgia, to eliminate the chance of police raids
To change mannequin clothes, you close the shades
Since in Hawaii, you may well need to be able to float
Residents can be accessed a fine for not owning a boat
In Kentucky, offensive body odor you need not fear
Every citizen is required to take a shower once a year
In Massachusetts, the law may not let you go very far
If you are carrying a gorilla in the backseat of your car
