I was inspired today...
In my Political Science class, we discussed Miranda rights. At the time, I was ignoring most of what my teacher was saying and listening to the Boston song, "Amanda." Putting two and two together, here is a remake of the same tune, entitled, "Miranda."
Babe, you’re coming with me today There is nothing that you have to say Anything that you do Will be used against you In a Court of Law—do you understand? So, if you need to think things through A lawyer can be given to you If you can’t pay his fee, He will do it for free And we will pay—do you understand? Now that we took you by surprise We’ll make you realize Miranda You don’t have to say a thing And we will not make you sing Miranda An attorney you can hail And he’ll get you out of jail Miranda Keep quiet Babe, will you listen now to me You ought to submit a plea But it’d be such a mess If you try to confess Before I say: do you understand? So, you can stop us without telling why When we ask you for your alibi Now your rights are explained— Information obtained From you today will be used at the stand Now that we took you by surprise We’ll make you realize Miranda You don’t have to say a thing And we will not make you sing Miranda An attorney you can hail And he’ll get you out of jail Miranda We’ll avoid Some nasty legal fights If we read an explanation Of your Fifth Amendment rights Now, sign this paper And get ready for your trial In just a while Your lawyer will set you free Babe, you’re coming with me today There is nothing that you have to say To me--do you understand?
