Well, go ahead on, walk up the steps to the guillotine, lay your head
down ever so nice and let me hand you the rope-it's your funeral, and

You have a great day yourself. At least when they come looking for me
I can point to the license signed by the chief justice of our supreme

you're right until the first pissed off client files a complaint, they
find out you're not licensed and they figure out what you've been up
to.
