[Kate:] Oh Nicky, Nicky, bad news [Nicky:] What's the matter Kate? [Kate:] I can't go with you to the Phish concert at the Aquarium [Nicky:] Oh no, I was looking forward to that! [Kate:] Me too [Nicky:] Oh, why can't you come? [Kate:] I got jury duty [Nicky:] Jury duty? [Kate:] Mm Hm [Nicky:] Aw, Kate, you don't have to go to Jury duty [Kate:] Yes I do. I got this summons in the mail, it says I have to go [Nicky:] Oh, what summons? [Kate:] This one [Nicky:] No. WHAT summons? [Kate:] THIS one [Nicky:] No Kate you don't understand: Tear it up and throw it away [Kate:] What? [Nicky:] Throw it away, Throw it away! Tear it up and throw it away And go about your day! [Kate:] Oh, I can't do that! This is an official summons [Nicky:] Oh! An official summons. Well, why didn't you say so? Tear it up and throw it away! [Kate:] Just. Tear it up? [Nicky:] Yeah! And throw it away! Tear it up and throw it away, so you and I can play [Kate:] But, isn't it my civic duty? [Nicky:] Aw! Who gives a doody? The government employees already know For many reasons many people just won't show A piece of mail's an easy thing to overlook, so just like the airlines, they overbook! [Kate:] Oh! [Both][Chorus:] Tear it up and throw it away! Throw it away! Throw it away! Tear it up and throw it away [Nicky:] It's perfectly okay [Kate:] Ah! Oh but wait a minute, wait a minute It says here the penalty is 30 days in jail [Nicky:] KATE! No one's ever gone to jail! Gone to jail! Gone to jail! Have you ever heard of anyone who's gone to jail [Kate:] Oh! 'Cause something got lost in the mail! OH! [Nicky:] Exactly! [Both][Chorus] [Nicky:] Yeah, you got it! [Kate:] Did not! [Nicky:] Right! [Both:] And go about your day! [Nicky:] Only the little people do jury duty Kate! [Kate:] Yeah!
