The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Got the summons served on a sunday, see what I done

Couldn't see much sense in the charges

But they sure sounded like fun

So I went downtown to a bow street to see the company man,

'Hey boy your in a heap of trouble

But I'll do everything that I can'

But the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact

(Man that's a fact)

And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact

You shouldn't let yourself never get caught in the act

Sorry for the damage I've done, try to pay it back

The only crime I ever committed was being caught in the act.

So the next time that you feel good don't forget the fact

There's a man in blue and he wants you to be

Be caught in the act

And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact

(Man that's a fact)

And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact

Hope that you never get caught in the act

And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact

(Man that's a fact)

And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact

Hope that you never get caught in the act

Hope that you never get caught in the act
