After attending the James Taylor concert at The Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne on April 11th, I was inspired to do two things. One was to continue with my finger-picking style and tell everyone who keeps trying to force me to use a pick to bite me; and the second was to write a song. This is the result. It's pretty funny, especially if you consider the fact that I am a lawyer myself.
Big Important Lawyer Man
Chorus:
You will never be as great as I
I don’t even know why you’d think to try
You can tell by the way I walk
You can tell by the way I talk
Hell, you can even tell by the way I stand
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
Verses:
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
You can tell by the clothes I wear each day
All decked out in grey or blue or . . . Gray
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
And I have lots of degrees
I can collect lots of fees
All I can talk about is the law
Is there any other conversation after all?
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
Repeat Chorus
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
A lot of little people listen to what I say
Really, would you have it any other way
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
I’ve told others that I never make mistakes
I can win your case, no matter what it takes
Well I will, as long as I get rich
Who cares if I am a son-of-a-bitch
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
Repeat Chorus
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
I got married in school to a girl named Betty Lee
I thought that she was interested in me
Turned out she was just earning her M.R.S. degree
‘Cause she knew that I was gonna be………..
A Great Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
Repeat Chorus
Ending:
I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
You will never be as great as I am
Don’t know why you’d even think you can
Cause I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
Yes … I’m a Big Important Lawyer Man . . .
