Free Help From My Lawyer

(to the tune of “A Little Help From My Friends” by the Beatles)

What would you do

if I couldn’t pay you,

would you stand up

and walk out on me?

Or lend me your time

and sing my sad song,

To the judge and jury

and without any fee.

Oh, I get off

with free help from my lawyer.

Mm, stay in my loft

with free help from my lawyer.

Mm, gonna fight my layoff

with free help from my lawyer.

What do I do when my counsel’s ran away?

It worries me to be pro se

How do I feel by the end of the day?

I’m scared the judge will make me pay

Do you need anybody?

I need somebody for free.

Could it be anybody?

I want somebody barred in MD.

But no, I get by

with free help from my lawyer.

Mm, won’t have to lie

with free help from my lawyer.

Mm, not gonna cry

with free help from my lawyer.
