My professor at Cornell (May his dear soul rest in hell) Said a brilliant thing to me Little Norman Mushari Though my name was Lebanese And my grades were mostly 'D's I was still his pet And shan't forget The words he spoke were these: (spoken) "Just as a good airplane pilot should always be looking for places to land So should a good lawyer be looking for situations where large amounts Of money are about to change hands. For you see, students..." (sung) In each big transaction there happens a moment When onе certain party surrenders a trеasure And one other man who's about to receive it Has not yet done so In such a transaction, the watchful young lawyer Will notice this moment, endeavor to use it Exacting a chunk of aforementioned treasure Then pass what is left to his client A magical moment, a marvelous moment A moment a lawyer adores A lyrical moment, a miracle moment The moment you finally get yours "Dismissed," said he Okay, let's see... (spoken) "The president shall be president for life Unless proved legally insane, at which time the presidency shall be passed on To the next closest relation of Senator Rosewater... Indeed." (sung) If I could locate such a living relation I'll bet I could win him control of the fortune By proving that Elliot's totally bonkers As easy as proving the Pope to be Catholic And I'd represent in the legal proceedings The next-in-line heir to the Rosewater fortune So when the poor fruitcake surrenders his treasure I'm there at the magical moment Ah there lies the moment, the laudable moment Applaud-able moment I bless The moment that's reeking, financially speaking Exuding the smell of success Dear darling professor, oh how can I thank you For opening the door to such beauty and wonder Divining the moment, the magical moment The moment of power, the moment of plunder! The fabulous moment, back-stabulous moment The moment to foment a barrister's pleasure A top-rated moment, a gold-plated moment A moment of avarice, greed beyond measure I'll work 'til the moment I'll lurk toward the moment Delicious and vicious as moments can be Oh god, I adore me, you smart little Normy I won't even charge me a fee
