| Well, I was standing on the corner
 | 
| In the middle of the street, yeh
 | 
| Well, I was minding my own business
 | 
| Trying to be discreet, yeh
 | 
| Too much time on my hands
 | 
| Too much wine, one-night stands
 | 
| I was looking for some easy action
 | 
| Being bored to the point of distraction
 | 
| When suddenly I saw a man
 | 
| With a shotgun in his hands
 | 
| Running out of the bank
 | 
| Now I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| Swear by almighty God
 | 
| That the evidence I will give
 | 
| Will be the truth, the whole truth
 | 
| And nothing but the truth
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| Sure looks like a mess
 | 
| How did I get into this
 | 
| I didn’t want to get involved
 | 
| I’m just a humble city dude, yeh
 | 
| But the cop was so persuasive
 | 
| I just could not refuse, yeh
 | 
| «Listen son,"said a voice
 | 
| «Testify, you got no choice»
 | 
| I didn’t want no aggravation
 | 
| So I accepted the situation
 | 
| He said you’re making a mistake
 | 
| If you don’t cooperate
 | 
| You better not change your mind
 | 
| Now I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| Swear by almighty God
 | 
| That the evidence I will give
 | 
| Will be the truth, the whole truth
 | 
| And nothing but the truth
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
 | 
| Sure looks like a mess
 | 
| How did I get into this |
