He's never quiet out of sight, he's a shadow in the night
Is that a document for you to sign
In the coat of the lurking barrister
Stationed by the broken neon signs, he might give you a valentine
I see somebody so demised
In the eyes of the lurking barrister
In the hands of the lurking barrister
He's not there to get you out of jail
No no no
There's never been a case he couldn't fail
Yeah yeah yeah
The lurking barrister takes our irregular feature in the daily mail
And if you stumbling round in Temple Bar, you don't remember where you parked your car
It's for sure that he won't be far
You're in the hand that's the lurking barrister
There's not a hotel he can't find, he knows the alley exit just behind
Is that a knife or 45
In the coat of lurking barrister
In the hand of the lurking barrister
He's not there to get you out of jail
No no no
There's never been a case he couldn't fail
Yeah yeah yeah
The lurking barrister takes our irregular feature in the daily mail
Read the lurking barrister tales
Read the lurking barrister tales
He's never quiet out of sight, he's a shadow in the night
Is that a document for you to sign
In the hands of the lurking barrister
Is that a catapult or something more benign
In the coat of lurking barrister
In the coat of lurking barrister
In the hands of the lurking barrister
You're in the hands of the lurking barrister
