Kate: <br>
Oh Nicky, Nicky, bad news.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
What's the matter Kate?<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
I can't go with you to the Phish concert at the Aquarium.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Oh no, I was looking forward to that!<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
Me too.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Oh, why can't you come?<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
I got jury duty.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Jury duty?<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
Mm Hm.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Aw, Kate, you don't have to go to Jury duty.<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
Yes I do. I got this summons in the mail, it says I have to go.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Oh, what summons?<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
This one.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
No. WHAT summons?<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
THIS one.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
No Kate you don't understand: Tear it up and throw it away.<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
What?<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Throw it away, Throw it away! Tear it up and throw it away. <br>
And go about your day!<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
Oh, I can't do that! This is an official summons.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Oh! An official summons. Well, why didn't you say so? <br>
Tear it up and throw it away!<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
Just. Tear it up?<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Yeah! And throw it away! <br>
Tear it up and throw it away, so you and I can play.<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
But, isn't it my civic duty?<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Aw! Who gives a doody? The government employees already know, <br>
For many reasons many people just won't show. <br>
A piece of mail's an easy thing to overlook, so just like the airlines, they overbook!<br>
<br>
Kate: Oh! <br>
<br>
Both: <br>
Tear it up and throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away! <br>
Tear it up and throw it away, <br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
It's perfectly okay.<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
Ah! Oh but wait a minute, wait a minute. <br>
It says here the penalty is 30 days in jail.<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
KATE! No one's ever gone to jail! Gone to jail! Gone to jail! <br>
Have you ever heard of anyone who's gone to jail,<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
Oh! 'Cause something got lost in the mail! OH!<br>
<br>
Nicky: Exactly!<br>
<br>
Both: <br>
Tear it up and throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away! <br>
Tear it up and throw it away! (tear)<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Yeah, you got it!<br>
<br>
Kate: Did not!<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Right!<br>
<br>
Both: <br>
And go about your day!<br>
<br>
Nicky: <br>
Only the little people do jury duty Kate!<br>
<br>
Kate: <br>
Yeah!<br>
<br>
<br>
