Jerry Magee, the lawyer, and what a lawyer you are

When people are in trouble, they call for you, especially if they’re drunk in their car

You say you can’t quite believe it, people pay for your advice

I suggest you give them confidence, especially if they’ve been caught twice

Your satisfied customers are many, and some of these characters are bad

You’ve represented whores and state auditors, even some guy that sued his dad

Your memory was your biggest weapon, if they lied, they’d better recall

For you never, ever, forgot a fact, and you’d use it to cause their fall

You were tough when you were fifty, at thirty I’ll bet you were a prize

Arm wrestling and beating some of the Vikings, I’ll bet there was awe in their eyes

Health issues were not your personal forte, fine gin was something else, though

You’ve always been on the fast track, and you’d travel just as fast as you could go

Family for you was important, too bad others didn’t feel the same way

You had a human side and you shared it, I remember the advice I got one day

You and Marge have a family to be proud of, and now you have grandkids galore

But you still find time for traveling, the two of you have hit every shore

As a kid you had your own pigeons, and you fly them even today

Inside this tough old lawyer, is a kid waiting to play

When you decide to hold a party, for food and drink you spare no cost

And you’ve helped many that needed direction, one fellows soul was lost

You’ll probably just keep on lawyering, till they lay you down to rest

Quite frankly that’s probably good, cause Magee you’re one of the best

So I wish you the best in the future, and I might as well tell you why

If ever, I needed a lawyer, Magee, you’d be my guy!!
