We the Jury

We members of the jury are stone faced The judge in his chair was strait-laced How would his decision go Read on and you will know So he's accused of a most terrible crime If guilty he will be sent down for a long time It's only he that knows the facts of that day We the jury listen to what the barristers say Barristers are smart they earn their money If the matter is serious they'd make it funny The summary by them has now been done Facing a lifetime in jail or a lifetime of fun ? We the jury took over three hours to decide When the verdict was read he obviously cried Being on a jury is hard that's certainly true Whether he was guilty I will leave that to you
