Good morning worm your honour
The crown will plainly show

The prisoner who now stands before you

Was caught red handed showing feelings

This will not do
Call the schoolmaster
Em
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honour
Am
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape
G
But my hands were tied
Go
The bleeding hearts and artists
D
Let him get away with murder
D D/Eb D/E D/F D/F# D/G D/Ab A
Let me hammer him today
Eo Em Eo Em C/E Em E4 Eb/B B Eb/B B Co/B B
Crazy toys in the attic I am cra---zy, truly gone fishing
F#m D Ebo
They must have taken my marbles away
Eo Em Eo Em C/E Em E4 Eb/B B
Crazy toys in the attic I am cra---zy
Call the defendants wife
Em
You little shit, you're in it now
Am
I hope they throw away the key
You should have talked to me more often
Em
Than you did, but no you had to
Go your own way. Have you broken any
Homes up lately?

"Just five minutes Worm your honour
B
Him and me alone"

Em
The evidence before the court is
Am
Incontravertable, there's no need for
The jury to retire
Em
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before of
Am
Someone more deserving
The full penalty of law
Em
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Am
Fills me with the urge to defecate
Em
Since, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear
Am
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers.
Em Am
Tear down the wall.
(Repeat the last phrase again and again.)
