Reading your eblast you’re, retiring what will we do?
Without your guidance
Exactly what, will we do?
Bar Journal, meetings, They’re left behind Desk full of memories
Time after
You’ll be living your life
We show up on your doorstep
You call up the police, just because We got you out of bed
Then you say, “send help!"
But we’re still here
Can we come in for a beer?
If you leave, we will look and we will find you
Time after Mine
Please don’t leave we don’t like it when things change
Time after Mine
If you leave, we will look and we will find you
Missing Alice Mine
We’re like cats we only like homeostasis
Missing Alice Mine
After we disburse and police have Turned us away,
Watching through windows
You're wondering if we’re okay
We need lots of supervision (supervision)
Or we may lose our minds
If you leave, we will look and we will find you
Time after Mine
Please don’t leave we don’t like it when things change
Time after Mine
You say, "please go"
But we don’t mind
Looks like we will unwind

Case is being called
Facing this alone would be too rough
You need a lawyer who’s real tough, our P.D.
He’s charging through the halls
The D A says “judge he’s just too much”
He knows all this law and other stuff, you’ll see
(He enters court and)
Wake County’s cold and empty (oh)
Here comes The Man Deonte’ (oh)
All the charges against you are gone
I said, ooh, he’s fighting for your rights
Deonte’ Thomas has the magic touch
I said, ooh, where are his cape and tights?
Oh, when you’re locked up, he’s the one to trust
(Hey, hey, hey)
You’re running out of time
Private counsels’ rates seem pretty high
But there’s still someone on your side, Wake’s P.D.
That cell is cold and empty (oh)
Here comes The Man Deonte’ (oh)
All the charges against you are gone
I said, ooh, he’s fighting for your rights
Deonte’ Thomas has the magic touch
I said, ooh, where are his cape and tights?
Oh, when you’re locked up, he’s the one to trust
Always walking with you, don’t you know (with you, don’t you know)
Gonna get your active time postponed (active time postponed)
Will never let you down, that’s right! (ooh)
I said, ooh, he’s fighting for your rights
Deonte’ Thomas has the magic touch (Hey, hey, hey)
I said, ooh, he’s fighting for your rights
Oh, when you’re locked up, he’s the one to trust
(Tick tock tick) Doo doo doo-doo
(Tick tock tick) Doo doo doo-doo
Here we come, slippin', slippin', slippin' Into your courtroom
Here we come, slippin', slippin', slippin' Into your courtroom
Chief Judge Margaret Eagles

Please Chief Judge Eagles
Let my sweet client go free
I’m begging you Judge Eagles:

eSearchin’ for some meat
Mythical shenanigans
Chief Judge Margaret Eagles
Can’t you see?
Please Chief Judge Eagles
His hairpiece just broke free
I’m begging you Judge Eagles
Leave him be
Oh Judge, no recidivism
Wigs keep on slippin’, slippin', slippin'
Around your courtroom
Wigs keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Around your courtroom
Doo doo n-doo-doo, doo doo n-doo-doo
Doo doo n-doo-doo, doo doo n-doo-doo

The most prestigious commendation in the history of local bar associations, the much coveted Golden Limine is named for Lord Ethelbert Athelstan Rumple
Budweiser Vortigern Luxury
Gofraid Fruitbat Hypotenuse Limine (1543-1839), the much celebrated English Barrister
As recounted by Blackstone in his seminal work Commentaries on the Law of England, Limine’s litigation practices were renowned throughout the British Isles. His signature maneuver was first revealed in a case in which he was defending a man charged with second degree (unpremeditated) shearing of a neighbor’s sheep. Limine arranged to have a horse placed in the audience for the closing arguments, and when the jury returned a verdict of guilty, Limine’s client jumped on the horse and rode out of the courtroom, and indeed the county, before the judge could impose a sentence.
Everett, Gaskins, Hancock
Hire them and head on down to Saint Croix
‘Cause now your only worry Is for Christmas what will be your toy
Everett, Gaskins, Hancock
Will not miss a thing
Gonna be so happy with the Joy that they will bring
Crashin’ through the courthouse Gettin’ all your filings done on time
Always in your corner
The other side shows fear and a deep surprise; Your foes will try to bring the water to their eyes
But Everett, Gaskins, Hancock will still whoop those behinds
Firm of the year, we, couldn’t ask for more
Why did those other firms all say “no”?
Firm of the year, we, couldn’t ask for more Why did those other firms all say “no”?

Cont:
Everett, Gaskins, Hancock

Hire them and they’ll give you

Of the areas they practice, they cover so many types of law (they’ll work for you)
You know they’ve got the top legal minds up and down their hall
Everett, Gaskins, Hancock, keeps their practice tight, You know the work they’ll do, sure will be outta sight!
Firm of the year, we, couldn’t ask for more Why did those other firms all say “no”?
