Kangaroo Court

There’s a dark part of town
Where the girls kick down
And I cannot wait for a chance to go
Wait for a chance to go
I’ve got my bad luck shoes and every excuse
To dance these blues away
 [bad word] home
I [bad word] home

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
kangaroo court 

In a dusty room [bad word] to assume
That I’ve been doomed
To lose my mind tonight
To weak to fight
So I try to save face and I rest my case
The judge pulls me aside, says, “C’est la vie
Let your darker [bad word] out to feed”

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
kangaroo court 

“All right
I can’t do y”

 [bad word] the crime of wasting time
Always trying to rhyme
Yes, I am guilty
But don’t misunderstand me
I admit defeat then I move my feet
My history will never be repeated
I won’t ever be repeated

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
kangaroo court

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
kangaroo court
