[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.... [Hook: the courtroom] Uh-oh, Here Come the Judge, Here Come the Judge Everybody know that he is the judge 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 [Hook: the courtroom] He is the judge, he is the judge Everybody know that he is the judge [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] 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] [Hook] [Verse 2] I had a chat with Ho-Chi Minh Took rice wine and chased my gin Won't take long, as it missed my guess I'll have yo outta this doggone mess 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 [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] Come November election time You vote your way, I'll vote mine Cases are tied, and money get spent Vote for Pigmeat Markham president [Hook, 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) Now, everybody know I am the judge
