David Frishberg - My Attorney Bernie lyrics

rate me

I'm impressed<br />

With my attorney Bernie<br />

I'm impressed<br />

With his influential friends<br />

<br />

He's got very big connections<br />

And I follow his directions<br />

Bernie knows his way around<br />

And so I always do what Bernie recommends<br />

<br />

I am blessed<br />

With my attorney Bernie<br />

I'm impressed<br />

With the way he runs the store<br />

<br />

He's got Dodger season boxes<br />

And an office full of foxes<br />

It's amazing all the different things<br />

Your average guy might need a lawyer for<br />

<br />

Bernie tells me what to do<br />

Bernie lays it on the line<br />

Bernie says, we sue, we sue<br />

Bernie says, we sign, we sign<br />

<br />

I'm in touch<br />

With my attorney Bernie<br />

In a clutch<br />

He can speed right to the scene<br />

<br />

And if I'm locked up in the jail<br />

With just one phone call for my bail<br />

He said to call his club collect<br />

Or deal directly with his answering machine<br />

<br />

And when I dine<br />

With my attorney Bernie<br />

He buys wine<br />

From the rare imported rack<br />

<br />

That's 'cause Bernie is a purist<br />

And not your polyester tourist<br />

Bernie waves the glass around awhile<br />

Then takes a sip and always sends it back<br />

<br />

Bernie tells me what to do<br />

Bernie lays it on the line<br />

Bernie says, we sue, we sue<br />

Bernie says, we sign, we sign<br />

<br />

I admire<br />

My attorney Bernie<br />

I admire<br />

Any guy who knows his stuff<br />

<br />

Sure we blew a couple ventures<br />

With a counterfeit debentures<br />

But you win a few, you lose a few<br />

Like Bernie says, "You keep on hanging tough"<br />

<br />

Thanks to you<br />

My attorney Bernie<br />

Thanks to you<br />

I'm considered well to do<br />

<br />

Sure I made out like a bandit<br />

Just exactly like you planned it<br />

But like Murray, my accountant<br />

Told me yesterday, I owe it all to you.<br />

<br />

Bernie tells me what to do<br />

Bernie lays it on the line<br />

Bernie says, we sue, we sue<br />

Bernie says, we sign, we sign<br />

<br />

On the dotted line
