Listen! Do you hear that "Doink--doink"--
An alluring sound. Now I'll be
Watching Law and Order to hear
Alibis from suspects and see
Nervous clients, eager lawyers
DA's, and defendant haters,
Ostentations in the courtroom,
Rival lawyers, rapt spectators.
"Doink--doink" ("Dun--dun")--all we fans know,
Ever will announce a great show,
Reruns air in nonstop, smooth flow!
