Crim Law Cram Medley

to "ABC" and "The Love You Save" by The Jackson Five

You went to school to learn, girl Things you never, never, knew before Why is robbery different from burglary? Or what is habeas corpus for? Nah, nah, nah, I'm gonna teach you (Teach you, teach you) All about crime, dear (Criminal law!) Sit yourself down, take a seat All you gotta do is repeat after me MPC says it's a felony For manslaughter, take a plea, E-E-D Or just prove insanity, girl! We're a gonna show you how to get away If you shoot a person or just rob a bank If you get arrested then we'll get you out Come on, come on, come on, let us show you what it's all about! Intent, an act, and consequence Are the basics of a crime, you see But if they can't prove causation, girl The prosecution ain't complete T-T-T-Teacher's gonna show you (Show you, show you) How to get away! (Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!) To go free, use an excuse If you kill somebody, here's what you gotta do! You'll go free, if you reasonably Felt danger imminently to your body But not to protect property But it won't work for property Wait and see, you'll go free! Oh no, girl! I think I stabbed you! Crap! You're dead girl! What am I gonna do? Heat of passion, baby, come on now! It's old fashioned, baby, ooh oooh! Provocation, baby, huh! You made me do it baby, yeah, yeah! It's not murder, lady, nah nah! Just manslaughter, baby, huh! That's how easy crime can be! Stop, you'd better get this! Stop, stop, stop, you'd better get this! These fellas find a drunk guy Passed out in a seat They punched his nose and stole his clothes And dumped him on the street Because a semi killed him They thought they could go free But we can prove causation Through foreseeability Stop, this actus reus is a crime But it's not "attempt" yet If you will only stop in time Better stop, before your act becomes a crime They can't bust you if you don't take that Substantial step in time I hope that we have helped you I hope you pass the test (Well, I'm just hoping for a B so I can get some rest) We're getting kind of tired Can we stop dancing now? (I looked at the third question, but I still don't know how) Oh, Arzon starts a fire Quite deliberately Another fire starts up Independently He claims the second fire Broke the causal chain But now because of proximate cause His defense is in vain Stop, you think you're clear because sometimes Intervening action Can help to break the causal line So just stop, before your act becomes a crime You'd better renounce before they catch you Or you're gonna be doing time S is for stop it T is for tell them so O it's not over P the police need to know! You can back out before it's done It's there in rule five-dot-oh-one Stop it! Save yourself! Baby, ooooh, you better Stop, before your act becomes a crime Please, please renounce, renounce it baby While you still have time We really have to leave here You should know what to do! (Could you repeat it once more, I still ain't got a clue) Stop, the before your act becomes a crime You better stop it, stop it, stop it now Because we're almost out of rhymes (Could you repeat it once more, 'cause I still don't... I still don't...) Stop, the law says this act is a crime...

You went to school to learn, girl Things you never, never knew before Like I before E except after C And why two plus two makes four Now now now, I'm gonna teach you (Teach you, teach you) All about love, dear (All about love!) Sit yourself down, take a seat All you gotta do is repeat after me ABC, easy as one two three Or simple as do re mi, ABC One two three, baby, you and me, girl! Come on, let me love you just a little bit Come on, let me love you just a little bit I'm a going to teach how to sing it out Come on, come one, come on let me show you what it's all about! Reading, writing, and 'rithmetic Are the branches of the learning tree But without the roots of love every day, girl Your education ain't complete T-T-T-Teacher's gonna show you (Show you, show you) How to get an A! (Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!) Spell "me," "you," add the two Listen to me, baby, that's all you gotta do! ABC, easy as one two three Or simple as do re mi, ABC One two three, baby, you and me, girl Sing a simple melody One two three, you and me! Sit down, girl! I think I love you! No! Get up, girl! Show me what you can do! Shake it, shake it, baby, come on now! Shake it, shake it, baby, ooo oooh! Shake it shake it, baby, huh! One two three, baby, oo ooo! ABC, baby, nah nah! Do re mi, baby, huh! That's how easy love can be! Stop, you'd better save it! Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it! When we played tag in grade school You wanted to be it But chasing boys was just a fad You crossed your heart you'd quit When we grew up, you traded Your promise for my ring Now just like back to grade school You're doing the same old thing! Stop, the love you save may be your own Darling, take it slow Or some day you'll be all alone You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own Darling, look both ways before you cross me You're headed for the danger zone I'm the one who loves you! I'm the one you need! Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed! They'll ruin your reputation! They'll label you a flirt! The way they talk about you, they'll turn your name to dirt, oh! Isaac said he kissed you Beneath the apple tree When Benji held your hand he felt Electricity When Alexander called you He said he rang your chimes Christopher discovered You're way ahead of your times Stop, the love you save may be your own Darling, take it slow Or some day you'll be all alone You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own Darling, look both ways before you cross me You're headed for the danger zone S is for save it T is for take it slow O is for oh, no P is for please, please, dont go! The love you save may be your own Some day you may be all alone Stop it! Save it, girl! Or some day you'll be all alone You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own! Please, please, or some day, some day baby You'll be all alone I'm the one who loves you! I'm the one you need! Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed! Stop, the love you save may be your own You better stop it, stop it, stop it, girl Or some day you'll be all alone Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed! Stop, the love you save may be your own...
