NO TIME FOR SHAME

Driving along on probation, leaving from the bar;

On a binge vacation, my house not be that far.

Suddenly in my rear view mirror, that terrible flash of blue;

I almost swallowed my Mickey's bottle, what was I suppose to do?

As officer Dribble approached my van, beaming me with his light;

He said, "What you been doing out here, at this time of night?"

I explained, "I was out playing pool", as my knuckles were turning blue:

As I noticed an empty beer bottle bumping against my shoe.

Heard him sniffing, then he asked, "How much you been drinking?"

"Oh, just a couple at dinner", I said, what was I thinking?

He said, "Reason why I stopped you, stopped you where your at...

Is back down there, you ran over the Judge's Cat!"

I swallowed hard, as I blew a point twenty-three;

Sweating like a Pig, and boy...did I have to pee!

So, the Judge gave me 30 days, just for leaving the scene;

I told him he didn't have to do that...your just being mean!

He agreed with me and gave me 30 more;

As the Bailiff showed me the jail house door!

Well,I was the talk of the town, in fact, all over the city;

60 days in the slammer for killing the Judge's Kitty!

Those days are now in the past, I'm detoxed and all clean;

I don't mind laughing about it, don't mind being seen.

All I know is that I did it, and I happily take the blame;

So please always remember, there's really No Time For Shame!
