Your Honor, I Object

Your Honor, I Object By Elton Camp Lawyer Louie caters to a special clientele Only those who are rich and guilty as hell And, in exchange for his exorbitant fee, Louie will make sure that they’re set free He will use ever trick, but never go so far That the ABA might take action to disbar All of the prosecution’s witnesses he’ll try To show they’re incompetent or telling a lie When the District Attorney starts to close in, Then Louie will “Your honor I object” begin He objects to someone able to establish a fact And from his client’s reputation dare detract Louie finally found a judge as tough as nails Who is determined to see that justice prevails A man who, by such tactics cannot be fooled Will speaks up and say, “Objection overruled”
