ANNIE: My God, you lucky lot, You've got me As the teacher for the day So breathe it in, see For the moment before the moment fades away Into a treasured memory
(spoken) Is this neurology? Perfect
I attended medical school at Harvard Graduated early, top of my class And now I got so many doctorates They're comin' out my *clears throat* Well suffice to say you're in safe hands with me
(spoken) I've often said that practicing medicine Is a lot like riding a bike
Just keep on smiling They'll nеver know Everybody loves a liе Everybody loves a show
(spoken) I also, uhh, passed the bar, y'know
Now I'm not saying that my journey To state attorney was a breeze But since way back, I've had a knack For spouting complex legalese And now you have me as your guide
(spoken) Today we'll be focusing on misdirection Slight of hand, and bamboozlement!
But first our confession, Our profession Is not favorably viewed But that's the nature of the job You either screw Or you get screwed S'you better strap in for the ride
(spoken) I've often said that winning a court case Is a lot like riding a bike
Just keep on smiling They'll never know Everybody loves a lie So go and give the folks a show
(spoken) So what we're gonna do, Celine, is We're gonna say that This troublemaker, this trailblazer Annie Londonderry broke into that office there Where her bicyle is When you were in the john And Celine, in a blaze of glory, Comes out of the toilet And you see that harlot trying to get away And you sprint to water You've never run so fast In your whole entire life! And at the last second possible, You get ahold of the bike But it's still moving, So what do you do?
(spoken) Why, you hop on the back And now you're traveling Along with her, hanging on for dear life Desperate to return the bike to It's rightful place of customs
(spoken) Annie cycles, Celine holds tight But the faster Annie goes, The further Celine is from her office! And before she knows it She has absolutely no idea where she is!
ANNIE & MARTHA: Just keep on smiling They'll never tell
ANNIE: If you present a lecturer That can be trusted
MARTHA: Competent and well adjusted Say that you're a great advisor
ANNIE: And these schmucks are none the wiser!
ANNIE & MARTHA: Hello Syracuse!
ANNIE: My writings on philosophy Were featured on the daily news
ANNIE & MARTHA: Hello Buffalo!
ANNIE: When it comes to astral physics I'm the gal you really ought to know Don't let them see The panic bubbling below!
ANNIE & MARTHA: Just keep on smiling They'll never tell
ANNIE: Whether you've arrived In Baltimore or Barcelona
MARTHA: Just present a false persona Flash the crowds a winning grin
ANNIE: And you will reel the suckers in
ANNIE: Everybody loves a lie!
MARTHA: They love, they love a little lie
ANNIE: Everybody loves a lie!
MARTHA: They love, they love a little lie
ANNIE & MARTHA: Don't you know that Everybody loves to love a show!
