Blood in the Water

Blood In The Water - Various Artists

Now when you chose a law career the moment you embark

There's that joke you're bound to hear

A lawyer is a shark

Ignore that it's simplistic and it's dumb

Only some of you will turn out sharks just some

The rest are chum

Our topic is blood in the water

Kids it's time you faced

Law school is a waste

Yes unless you aquire a taste for

Blood in the water

Dark and red and raw

You're nothing until the thrill of the kill becomes your only law

Mr Schultz hypothetical question

Would you be willing to defend the following banker accused of fraud

A kind old grandma took her savings and she sent it

Off to your client all she saved since she was born

Well he promised to invest it but he spent it

On prostitutes and heroin and porn

No I would not want to take that case

Wrong

This one is a win unless you're lazy

Grandma's broke she'll have some hack from legal aid

Put her on the stand and call her old and crazy

Your guy goes free and he can get you high and laid

Look for the blood in the water

Read your Thomas Hobb's

Only spineless snobs will quarrel with the morally dubious jobs yes

Blood in the water

Your scruples are a flaw

Ms Hoopes I have a one question

Would you be the right lawyer for the following client

Say they offer you a bundle for defending

A famous hitman for the mafia elite

Seems he missed his chosen prey

Hit a nun and drove away running

Over three cute puppies in the street

What you think I wouldn't defend him

Just because he's a typical man

Oh you lesbians think you're so tough

Eh but eh

Oh dear I think my comment has offended

Hard to argue though when you're too mad to speak

Your employment will be very quickly ended

When they see how your emotions make you weak

So what's my point I run a million dollar law firm

And I hire four new interns every year

From this class I will select

Four young sharks whom I respect

And those four will have a guaranteed career

Do you follow me

So I want to see what

Blood in the water

Exactly let the games begin

Four of you will win

But just those four with the dorsal fin yes

Blood in the water

So fight and scratch and claw

Yes Ms

Woods Elle Woods

Someone's had their morning coffee

Would you summarize the

Case of the State of Indiana v Hurn in your reading

Oh I wanted to answer the puppy question

But I'm asking you about the assigned reading

Oh okay who assigns reading for the first day of class

You have guts Miss Woods

Miss Kensington

Let's say you teach a class

At Harvard Law School

A position that you're justly proud about

But a girl on whom you call hasn't read

The case at all

Should you let it go or

No I would throw her out

All right then

You heard your classmate

You have just been killed

She cut your throat so grab your coats

Yes you've got guts but now they're spilled

You're blood's in the water

So would you please withdraw

And if you return

Be ready to learn

Or is it unfair

Oh wait I don't care

That's just how I rule

In life and in school

With fear and shock and gall

You're nothing until blood in the water

The thrill of the kill blood in the water

Becomes your only law blood in the water

Your only law blood in the water

Your only law blood in the water
