JURY DUTY IS FUN Scott performing Scott performing
     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
