EVERYBODY SAYS I'M SMART SOMEDAY I'LL LEAVE MY MARK AND WITH A BREAK OR TWO I'LL GO FAR I KNOW I COULD BE ANYTHING FROM "A" TO "Z" BUT, I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER 'CAUSE I CAN'T PASS THE BAR
CHORUS
I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER 'CAUSE I CAN'T PASS THE BAR HER MEM'RY DRIVES ME IN AND I HAVE FAILED AGAIN I WISH THEY'D LOCK UP ALL THOSE SWINGIN' DOORS NO, I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER 'CAUSE I CAN'T PASS THE BAR
(2)
SMARTER PEOPLE THAN I AM HAVE FAILED A BAR EXAM I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE ALL THE ANSWERS ARE. EVEN AT MY BEST, LORD, IT'S HARD TO PASS THE TEST. NO, I'LL NEVER BE A LAWYER 'CAUSE I CAN'T PASS THE BAR
