The Lyrics

The showstopping number from the Amiright Mash-ups! Computer problems have plagued the writing of this baby, but now, the whole world can enjoy this parody for all its worth!
**Chris Bodily TM**
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, STG..."

**STG**
"I know.... There's a scarecrow, a tin man, lions, tiger, and bears!"

**Chris Bodily TM**
"Oh, my! Hey, isn't that Bull?"

**STG**
"It sure is!"

(The music begins as an acoustic strums the intro to "Night Court." This song's instrumentation plays throughout the entire Mash-up.)

**Chris Bodily TM**
["Night Court"]
My friends like calling me Bull
Got the best job in town
I hear Harry's gavel pound
We have had other bailiffs, but they both died
The bad guys pay a fifty-dollar fine
We're in court at night

**STG**
["If I Only Shot Hussein"]
I could live my life completely,
If Saddam is dead and bleeding,
And see him wail in pain..
I'd be getting so ecstatic,
With my semi-automatic,
If I only shot Hussein.

Yes, Osama is a real bad mother--

**Chris Bodily TM**
"Shut your mouth!"

**STG*
["If I Only Shot Hussein" with "Night Court" in parentheses]
Who works for a big maggot,
("La la-la la-la..." Working...)
Though he has half a brain.
(...at the Night Court)
With the rifle that I carry,
("La-la la-la la-la" Workin'...)
I'd be a great mercenary
(...at the Night Court)
If I only shot Hussein.
(Durring suppertime... Hussein)

**Chris Bodily TM**
["Night Court"]
Harry is the youngest judge ever appointed
Was 33, so don't be disappointed
Workin' on magic tricks that are very warped

Workin' at the Night Court
(La-la la-la Night Court)

**Together**
Everybody's mind in this place is warped
Workin' at the Night Court during suppertime

**Chris Bodily TM**
During your suppertime

"Hey, STG! Who all starred in The Wizard of Oz? It was Judy Garland as Dorothy; Jack Haley as the Tin Man; Bert Lahr as the Lion; Douglas Seal as the Wizard, the Fortune Teller, and the guy at the entrance of the Wizard's castle. But I can't remember... Who played the Scarecrow again? His name is on the tip of my tongue... I just can't ge it out!"

**STG**
"It was Ray..."

**Together**
"...Bolger!"

**STG**
["If I Only Shot Hussein" with "Night Court" in parentheses]
I could live my life completely,
If Saddam is dead and bleeding,
("I would, too!")
And see him wail in pain.
("la-la la-la" Working...)
I'd be getting so ecstatic,
(At the Night Court, "so ecstatic")
With my semi-automatic,

**Chris Bodily TM**
If we only shot Hussein.

["Night Court" with ad-libbed parenthetical lyrics that parody "If I Only Had a Brain"]
I won't forget the time that Dan and
Roz were stuck in the elevator with sumo
wrestlers during the tremors and storms
(Art had trouble with the 'vators, and he...)
And then the time
(...had to wait for laters)
That Jackson impersonator came by
(Harry told the guy to "Beat It")
And Judge Harry, he told the guy to "Beat It"
(He'd tell Yankovic to "Eat It")
Then once they thought Christine
Had tragically died
But she's very alive

**STG**
["If I Only Shot Hussein"; the intsrumentation to the "Night Court" chorus plays behind the vocals]
Don't sigh, and this is why,
We'll beat them at the shore,
With Biological Weapons we use for war.
What would happen if we had Gore?

**Chris Bodily TM**
["Night Court"]
Workin' at the Night Court
We are crazier than dudes from Hogwarts
Workin' at the Night Court during suppertime

There's the judge, Harry [Stone]
Christine Sullivan
And Dan Fielding and Mac Robinson
Bailiffs and yours truly

There's the tech, Arthur
("They call him Art")
Phil's a homeless man
("He died and his brother inherited his fortune")
There was Billie Young and some other folks
("One-season wonders")

Workin' at the Night Court
Everybody's brain in this place is warped
Workin' at the Night Court during suppertime
When you eat, suppertime

**Together**
Yeah suppertime, suppertime!

**STG**
["If I Only Shot Hussein"]
Well Iraq is just nothin',
Their strength's compared to fluffin'
We surely wish him pain.
I will dance and be merry,
Once we kill that lousy fairy,
If I only shot Hussein.

(The tempo slows down gradually and the mood changes. The crowd applauds.)

**Chris Bodily TM**
["Night Court"]
Then Selma had died, and then so did Florence
(Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Then we got another bailiff
(Ohhhhhhhhhhhh)
When we all said goodbye in 1992
(Oh, nooooooooooo)
Ain't it funny at the Night Court
(Oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah!)
Then aliens came to abduct me! How warped!
(I remember each event like yesterday)

**Together**
Straaaaaange at the Niiiiiiiiggggghhhht Coooooouuuurt
I waaaaaaaant a reeeeee uuuuuun ioooooon!

(Standing ovation)

**Chris Bodily TM**
[Ad-libs]
Remember the time the Court upstairs
Was closed for a week due to repairs?
Wile E. Coyote and his Roadrunner foe
Made an illogical apperance in the court

Remember when Selma was fixing to retire?
It really set my heart afire!
That episode, you've gotta love it
She told Harry to take this job and shove it

[More ad-libs accompanied by ATG singing/chanting the lyric "Night Court" over and over again.]

**Chris Bodily TM**
[Ad-libs]
The fun isn't over yet!
I'll make you laugh so hard, you get your trousers wet
Try singing this Mash-up to Dark Side of the Moon
Though I don't think there'd be enough room
Might take a while to get the concept honed
Might only work if you're very stoned

**Together**
If I Ooooooonlyyyy shoooot Husseeeeeeiiiin
At the Niiiiiiiigggghhhht Coooouuuuurrrrrt!

(Standing ovation!)
