Lyrics:
[Verse 1] There’s a dark part of town Where the girls get down And I cannot wait for a chance to go Wait for a chance to go I’ve got my bad luck shoes and every excuse To dance these blues away Ain’t coming home I ain’t coming home [Chorus] Shut up, shut up, shut up Sit up, sit up, sit up It’s a kangaroo court A kangaroo court Shut up, shut up, shut up Sit up, sit up, sit up It’s a kangaroo court A kangaroo court [Verse 2] In a dusty room I come to assume That I’ve been doomed To lose my mind tonight Too weak to fight So I try to save face and I rest my case The judge pulls me aside, says, “C’est la vie Let your darker side come out to feed” [Chorus] Shut up, shut up, shut up Sit up, sit up, sit up It’s a kangaroo court A kangaroo court Shut up, shut up, shut up Sit up, sit up, sit up It’s a kangaroo court A kangaroo court [Bridge] “All rise... I can't do sexy” [Verse 3] I commit the crime of wasting time Always trying to rhyme Yes, I am guilty But don’t misunderstand me I admit defeat then I move my feet My history will never be repeated I won’t ever be repeated [Chorus] Shut up, shut up, shut up Sit up, sit up, sit up It’s a kangaroo court A kangaroo court Shut up, shut up, shut up Sit up, sit up, sit up It’s a kangaroo court A kangaroo court
