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
