Trippin' in Court

We got this sucker in the bag

Okay, now listen

I'll do the talking

When I call on you to come up

Don't forget what you have to say, okay?

Oh yeah, man

Hey man, it's cool

Just sit down, man

I'll do the talking

Yeah man, go on

Do your trip

Okay, now just be quiet

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

Your honor

Now it might seem suspicious

That my client had in his possession

At the time of his arrest

24 pounds of marijuana

5,000 LSD capsules

And a gallon of Ripple wine

To the layman on the street

This may seem suspicious

However, there is an excuse, your honor

There is an explanation

It seems that my client

Had merely found these drugs

And he was on his way

To the police department

To turn them in

At the time of his arrest

Now we're not saying

That my client is an angel

We admit openly

That on two occasions he has smoked marijuana

And on one occasion taken LSD

Of course

Under the clinical supervision of a doctor

Now what we want you to do tonight

Ladies and gentlemen

Is to look inside your hearts

To examine your own consciences

And remember this

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged

Now as a true sign of repentance

I'd like to have my client step forward

And say just a very few words

In his own behalf at this time

Far out, man

I almost broke my neck, man

Oh, that's heavy, man

Oh wow

Don't forget what I told you to say

Oh yeah, man

Hey, your honor, man

No, not that one

That judge is over there

Oh yeah

Hey, your honor, man

Now dig, man

Like I know a lot of cats, man

Call you a pig

You know what I mean?

No, really, man

But I ain't like that, man, you dig?

'Cause I dig pigs, man

Quiet, quiet about pigs

No, really, man

You see, my old lady's a pig

You understand?

Shut up

Just tell them what I told you

Hey yeah, listen, man

Like my man here says

Now you dig?

I've only tried marijuana, man

Like 22 times, man

Twice

Uh, twice, man

And yeah, man

And I only did acid

Uh, ten times, man

No, no, once

Yeah

No, once, man

Yeah, really, man

Hey now listen, man

Now dig

I know, man

Where that drug trip leads

Like I know it's really a drag, man

You know

Because I

You know

Like I really can dig that

You can get hung up, man

And you get hung up, man

And you just go through some

You know what I mean, man?

Tell them what I told you

It can be far out, man

You know what I mean?

Tell them what I told you

Like it's a heavy far-out thing, man

You can really get involved, man

You know what I mean?

Like this whale, man

Once you get there, man

What I think my client is trying to say

Your honor

Is that he has transcended

The drug experience

Yes, that's it

He has gone beyond that

He needs no crutches to face

Now hold on, man

Hold it, man

I'm doing the rap

He needs no crutches to face society every morning

As a useful, producing citizen

Hold it, man

Now I'm talking to the cat, man

Order

Order in the court

I'm talking to the cat, man

You just shut up, man

You understand?

Now just shut up, man

Or you're gonna blow it for me, man

And dig, man

Like you know I don't need no marijuana, man

You know what I mean, man?

And I don't need no acid, man

You know what I mean?

'Cause I'm hooked on downers, man

Order

Order in the court
