A jury summons comes
I'm twiddling my thumbs
I chuck it in the garbage pail
I'll think of an excuse
Not something too obtuse
It could've gotten lost in the mail
Another summons comes
I pitch it with the crumbs
Could they really put me in jail?
And then I start to worry
I guess I better hurry
And move my booty to jury duty
Jury duty is fun
From the parking violation to murder one
Assessing criminals for less than minimum wage
We're doin' it for justice and truth
Though you'd get paid better sittin' in a tollbooth
Jury duty is fundamentally
Tied to your right to be tried by
Your peers, that's who
You better hope we're on your side
For my five-dollar bounty
I'll drive across the county
To slouch in a minature chair
I sit around and wait
And slowly grow irate
Who they choose is so unfair
This whole conspiracy
To take it seriously
I think I'm gonna slip out the door
'Cause who would track me down
And drag me back to town
Only to face a sympathetic jury
Jury duty is fun
From the court reporter to the baliff with his gun
Twelve good citizens pick the innocent ones
You don't make diddly squat
Oh, but don't blow if off 'cause you will be caught
To face the fury of a random jury
Who'll glare at you there on the witness stand
You didn't do your duty
Now you're goin' to the can
