Lyrics
I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER
(1)
EVERYBODY SAYS I'M SMART
SOMEDAY I'LL LEAVE MY MARK
AND WITH A BREAK OR TWO
I'LL GO FAR
I KNOW I COULD BE
ANYTHING FROM "A" TO "Z"
BUT, I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER
'CAUSE I CAN'T PASS THE BAR
CHORUS
I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER
'CAUSE I CAN'T PASS THE BAR
HER MEM'RY DRIVES ME IN
AND I HAVE FAILED AGAIN
I WISH THEY'D LOCK UP
ALL THOSE SWINGIN' DOORS
NO, I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER
'CAUSE I CAN'T PASS THE BAR
(2)
SMARTER PEOPLE THAN I AM
HAVE FAILED A BAR EXAM
I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHERE ALL THE ANSWERS ARE.
EVEN AT MY BEST,
LORD, IT'S HARD TO PASS THE TEST.
NO, I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER
'CAUSE I CAN'T PASS THE BAR
REPEAT CHORUS
