| Well, I was standing on the corner
|
| In the middle of the street, yeh
|
| Well, I was minding my own business
|
| Trying to be discreet, yeh
|
| Too much time on my hands
|
| Too much wine, one-night stands
|
| I was looking for some easy action
|
| Being bored to the point of distraction
|
| When suddenly I saw a man
|
| With a shotgun in his hands
|
| Running out of the bank
|
| Now I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| Swear by almighty God
|
| That the evidence I will give
|
| Will be the truth, the whole truth
|
| And nothing but the truth
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| Sure looks like a mess
|
| How did I get into this
|
| I didn’t want to get involved
|
| I’m just a humble city dude, yeh
|
| But the cop was so persuasive
|
| I just could not refuse, yeh
|
| «Listen son,"said a voice
|
| «Testify, you got no choice»
|
| I didn’t want no aggravation
|
| So I accepted the situation
|
| He said you’re making a mistake
|
| If you don’t cooperate
|
| You better not change your mind
|
| Now I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| Swear by almighty God
|
| That the evidence I will give
|
| Will be the truth, the whole truth
|
| And nothing but the truth
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| I’m a witness for the prosecution
|
| Sure looks like a mess
|
| How did I get into this |
