Tekst:
The prosecutor:
Good morning, worm, your honour
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who stands now before you
Was caught red handed showing feelings,
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
Ah, this will not do!
Call the schoolmaster!
Teacher:
I always said he’d come to no good
In the end, your honour
If they’d let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape
But my hands were tied,
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder,
Let me hammer him today!
The defendant:
Crazy toys in the attic, I’m crazy
Truly gone fishing
They must have taken my marbles away!
Chorus:
Crazy toys in the attic, he is crazy
The prosecutor:
Call the defendant’s wife!
The wife:
You little shit, you’re in it now,
I hope they throw away the key
You should have talked to me more often than you did,
But no, you had to go your on way
Have you broken any homes up lately ?
Just five minutes, worm, your honour,
Him and me alone!
Mother: *
Babe
Come to mother,
Baby, let me hold you on my arms
M’lord, I never wanted him
To get in any trouble
Why’d he ever had to leave me ?
Worm, your honour, let me take him home!
The defendant:
Crazy over the rainbow, I am crazy
Bars in the window
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in!
Chorus:
Crazy over the rainbow, he is crazy
The judge:
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible,
There’s no need for the jury to retire
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving the full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
Since my friend you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers!
Tear down the wall!!!
Chorus:
Tear down the wall!!!!
Tear down the wall!!!!
Tear down the wall!!!!
Tear down the wall!!!!
