[Intro: Pigmeat Markham]
Hear ye, hear ye
This court is now in session
His honor Judge Pigmeat Markham residing...
[Verse 1]
Hear ye, hear ye, the court of swing
Is just about ready to do that thing
I don't want no tears, I don't want no lies
Above all, I don't want no alibis
This judge is hip, and that ain't all
He'll give you time if you're big or small
Fall in line, a-this court is neat
Peace, brotha....
[Chorus: the courtroom]
Uh-oh, here come the Judge, here come the Judge
Everybody know that he is the judge
[Verse 2]
Everybody, near and far
I'm going to Paris, to stop this war
All those kids gotta listen to me
'Cause I am the judge, and you can plainly see
I want a big, round table when I get there
I won't sit down until ones are square
I'm gonna lay down the law, they bet'not budge
I bust some heads because I am the judge
[Chorus: the courtroom]
He is the judge, he is the judge
Everybody know that he is the judge
[Interlude 1]
*Music stops, snare drum imitates knock*
Man: Who's there
Judge: Eyes
Man: 'Eyes' who?
Judge: Eyes your next-door neighbor
*Courtroom laughs, Judge bangs gavel*
Judge: Order, order in this courtroom
Woman: Judge, your honorship
Hi, sir
Did I hear you say, "Order in the court"?
Judge: Yes, I said, "Order"
Woman: Well, I'll take two cans of beer, please
*Music continues*
[Chorus: the courtroom]
He is the judge, he is the judge
Everybody know that he is the judge
[Verse 3]
I had a chat with Ho Chi Minh
Sipped rice wine and chasin' my gin
Won't take long as I missed my guest
I'll have you outta this doggone mess
I send a cable to Ball & Mack
Let them know I'm coming back
Sit right there with Rock and Nicks
Teach them boys some of Pigmeat's tricks
[Interlude 2]
*Music stops*
Man: Uh, uh, judge, your honor Pigmeat, sir
Don't you remember me?
Judge: No, who are you boy?
Man: Why, I'm the fella that introduced you to your wife
Judge: To my wife?
Man: Yeah
Judge: Life, you son of a gun, you
*Laughter in courtroom, music continues*
[Bridge]
Come November election time
You vote your way, I'll vote mine
Cases are tied, and money get spent
Vote for Pigmeat Markham president
[Chorus, The Judge & the courtroom]
I am the judge, I am the judge
Everybody know that I am the judge
(We want Pigmeat, we want Pigmeat)
I am the judge, I am the judge
(Everybody know that he is the judge)
[Outro]
Now, everybody know I am the judge
