Us little kids all need lawyers,
Especially when it’s time for bed.
One to negotiate the terms;
How many stories to be read.

‘Cause if I had a good lawyer,
I could stay up late at night.
I’m always first to go to bed
And I am sure that isn’t right.

Some nights I try to be real good,
But other nights I scream and wail.
It matters not how good I’ve been,
Same time each night it’s off to jail.
