Trouble in Bingo County by Don Ray

Mr. Martin on his tractor can rip out your fence.
He doesn't have to have a reason to make it all make sense,
And he'll get what he's after just the same;
'Cause you can't afford to play his game.

Sheriff Mimic and his buddy with the 100 foot long tape
Will measure out a verdict, and they'll give it to you straight:
Better let him take it, it is plain
That you can't afford to play this game.

And don't expect much help for good ol' Orlon Huge
'Cause the county attorney has got better things to do --
Like talking to the sheriff to keep him right on cue,
Like smoking in the courthouse, which the law says he can't do,
But that doesn't bother him.  Why should it bother you?

And the lawyers in their suit coats know that justice isn't free,
Know that principles are costly and they'll tell you for a fee:
Better let him take it, it's a shame,
But you can't afford to play this game...
