Got the summons served on a Sunday, see what I've done
I couldn't see much sense in the charges, but they sure sounded like fun
So I went downtown at the Bow Street to see the company man
Hey boy, you're in a heap of trouble, but I'll do ev'rything that I can

But the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact - and that's a fact
The judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
You shouldn't let yourself get caught in the act

Sorry for the damage I've done, I'll try to pay it back
The only crime I ever committed was being caught in the act
So the next time that you feel good, don't forget the fact
There's a man in blue and he wants you to be caught in the act

And the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact - and that's a fact
Well, the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
Hope you don't ever get caught in the act

Yeah, the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact - and that's a fact
Yes, the judge is a grudge man, and that's a fact
Hope you don't ever get caught in the act
Yes, I hope you don't ever get, hope you don't ever get caught in the act
