All rise
Well the judge and the jury came into the court room
About 9:30, the 23rd of Jun
Now we're all here to try your crime
To see if we'll set you free or make you serve your time
The jury all set up in the chair
He's guilty, he's guilty, send that boy to jail
Now George was speeding, running down his mother
Stabbing his wife then strangling her lover
The court is ready to hear your plea
Now are you guilty or not guilty
The jury all set up to hear his plea
He's guilty, he's guilty, don't let that boy go free
Yeah
All rise
Now the judge and the jury came into the court room
About 9:30, the 24th of June
The court is ready to try your crime
To see if we're gonna kill you or make you serve you time
The jury all set up in the chair
He's guilty, he's guilty, send that boy to jail
He's guilty, he's guilty, send that boy to jail
He's guilty, he's guilty, send that boy to jail
Well the judge and the jury came into the court room
About 9:30, the 23rd of Jun
Now we're all here to try your crime
To see if we'll set you free or make you serve your time
