Too Many Laws
by
Hardy Parkerson
Phone's been a-ringin'
Off the wall.
People with problems
Continue to call.
Too many lawyers,
I've heard 'em say;
But I say we don't
Have enough today.
People got problems
And serious ones too;
Call for the lawyer
To learn what do do.
Some of 'em even got
A few bucks to pay;
And, when they do,
It makes my day.
Lawbooks becomin'
A thing of the past;
Wonder how long
This thing's gonna last!
Just got a call
From the F.B.I.;
Wants to talk to my client
Who ain't gonna lie.
In need a break,
Just a brief pause;
It's not too many lawyers,
But too many laws.
