A recommendation for how a defendant should handle a jury trial,

Lyrics:

 

What leaves your mouth is not assured of being understood 

Especially if the listener’s intentions are not good.

This builds the case for why you need good lawyers on your side.

But even then results you get may not be bonafide.

     Whoopi O.K.

     Corral what you say.

     Whoopi doo doo.

     It could be used against you.

Don’t get cocky just because the law seems in your favor

Opponents have their own “hired guns” to bastardize the flavor.

What you thought sweet because it seemed the case was cut and dried

Erupts like stink, you couldn’t think, of losing if you tried .

     Whoopi be sly

     They’re gonna try.

     Whoopi horse fly

     To make you out a liar.   

They’ll find the expert witnesses who twist the simple truth.

And make it seem to jurors that you’re pals with John Wilkes Booth.

So don’t expect the justice that you’ve seen from the Lone Ranger.

You’re dealing with the real world, and it’s a whole lot stranger.

     Whoopi tide pool,

     Don’t lose your cool!

     Whoopi don’t drool,

     The jury must believe you.                                                                      

  Whoopi try Hoss….Whoopi try Slim….Whoopi try John….Whoopi try Jim

The best way to avoid a verdict that supremely sucks

is digging deep and coming up, somehow, with mondo bucks.

You know for sure that Perry Mason won’t be on your case,

So be content with who you have and maintain a straight face.

     Whoopi tight pants,

     You got a chance.

     Whoopi go free

     You better have the money.

So just sit back, relax, enjoy your time upon the stage.

There really ain’t no cause to work yourself into a rage.

The worst thing that could happen is you lose all that you’ve got.

Then bankruptcy’s an option, or there’s acting, like as not.

     Whoopi cayuse   

     What if you lose?

     Whoopi get real

     Start planning an appeal.

Whoopi try Gene, Whoopi try Dale

 Whoopi try Roy on a Happy Trail

 Whoopi try George, Whoopi try Jack

Whoopi try Tom,  How did we lose track?  ……..

Whoopi try Clint, Whoopi try Tex,

Whoopi Tonto, Whoopi try Rex……………………
