When You Are A Lawyer
by
Hardy Parkerson
When you are a lawyer
And you're down to your last dollar,
And clients come in with cases
Makin' you want to holler;
You can stop and have a fit,
Or you can cut your fee a bit.
Just take what they have got
And add it to your pot.
You can say it's a "retainer" too:
They won't owe any more
'till they've heard from you.
And now you have some money,
And you can give it to your honey;
And 'though it's kinda phony,
You can pay your alimony.
