Lyrics

Someone To Watch Over Me

Every two years DC court selects me
All will now see my sense of civic duty
Someone get me off of this jury

I'm a big celeb who’d skip if I could
Listen up good, do you know me, well you should
Won’t you even comp parking for me?

Now I’m there just a guy in the hall reading
Then some dope, my pic he’s tweeting
Gotta say, dude, that that move’s just creepy

Finally my name’s called they realize it’s me
About to be free - nope - just a pic with Billy
Celebrity life is so trying for me

    The mix of this smooth style with the 'get me off this jury' title line is brilliant... you nailed this one.

    god this is funny. perfectly grabs the whole "look at what a concerned citizen I am/I am only here because I don't know how to get out of it" conundrum we deal with on the show every 2 years. and yes, Joe had that!
