All rise for the Honorable Judge Burrell
This court is called to order, These charges are serious
Stand up and face the bencch, How do you plead, Sir? How do you plead?
Verse 1
(Shaggy)
Guilty as charged,the Judge decreed, stand up and face the bench
I have some words to say to you before we recommence
A list of crimes this serious, I swear I have not seen
In all the years that I have served Her Majesty the Queen
Verse 2
(Shaggy)
Arson, murder, blackmail, grand larceny and theft
Drug dealing, human trafficking, I ask the court, whats left?
Are there words of mitigation, before I pass the sentence?
Anything that you can tell the court to add to your defense
Verse 3
(Sting)
I faced the court, thought long and hard, before I gave reply
There's something that you need to hear, from me before I die
The circumstances of my birth were something short of bliss
I have this from my mother, it was told to me like this
Verse 4
(Sting)
The day that I was born, she said, The Good Lord woke from slumber
Looking around his timber yard, He found He had no lumber
Apart from some old twisted branch, in shadows left to lurk
Hm Hm A# A
He pulled it out into the light and set about his works
Verse 5
(Sting)
She told me that the world should not expect too much of me
When the Good Lord carved my crooked soul, out of a crooked tree
When the Good Lord carved my crooked soul, out of a crooked tree
Verse 6
(Shaggy)
Stand up and face the bench
I've heard all you've got to say
Hm7 Gm7
That there look on your face says you're guilty
And now it's your judgment day
Verse 7
(Sting)
I'm not asking for forgiveness, I'm not proud of what I've done
I did the things I had to do, like any other mothers son
None of us are perfect, so remember what you see
When the Good Lord carved my crooked soul, out of a crooked tree
When the Good Lord carved my crooked soul, out of a crooked tree
