Oh, the folks in Alabama have a brand new kind of sport;
It's a rasslin' match against the feds to see who'll run their court
Chief Justice in Montgomery
Had acquired this monument
And he foolishly believed that he,
Could decide just where it went.

Oh! Chief Justice, your act was a disgrace
For you put the Ten Commandments in a very public place.

Couple fellas came to court one day,
Were amazed at what they saw.
The inscription had the "G" word
So they knew it broke the law.
Then they went to Myron Thompson's court
He's a fed'ral judge nearby
Said the nation is in danger, judge
You gotta stop this guy.

Oh! Judge Thompson, we know you'll understand
It's a right-wing cult and it could result in the ruining of our land.

Then the gavel cracked and the judge did act
"Make the tablets go away.
You can tow the line or you'll pay a fine -
Five thousand bucks a day."
'Twas a short debate for the other eight
They were trembling in their knees.
"We must stand tall or we might lose all
Our fed'ral subsidies."

"Roy, we love ya', and we hope you won't be sore
But for now you are suspended - we get less if we keep Moore."

In relief they sighed as he stepped aside
But he said, "I'll make my stand
It's a land of laws so I'll make my cause -
At the top court in the land."
"If religious speech is a freedom breach
You can see why I'm perplexed
"Folks in other states oughta watch this case
'Cause it might be your turn next."

Alabama, it does seem rather odd
To be on the edge when we daily pledge we're a nation under God.
