The Trial |
| Outside the cats are scratching |
| Inside the doors are latching |
| On the room, the greedy gloom |
| The trial is revealed |
| Police are six feet deep |
| With switchblades in their teeth |
| So no one leaves and they all believe |
| This is absolutely real |
| Yes, it’s real |
| And the Sergeant says, «;Are you ready, boys? |
| Get ready, boys |
| Aim… |
| And Fire… |
| Order in the court |
| People ready for the sport |
| They squirm and squeak and lick their beaks |
| And grease their feathers down |
| Everybody rise |
| Judge is here with bathroom eyes |
| A Grizzly bear, he hugs his chair |
| And the greedy gavel pounds |
| Yes, it pounds |
| And the Sergeant says, «;Are you ready, boys? |
| Get ready, boys |
| Aim… |
| And Fire… |
| In the dungeon s (?) falls |
