Written by Freya Catrin Smith and Jack Williams.

ANNIE:
My God, you lucky lot,
You've got me
As the teacher for the day
So breathe it in, see
For the moment before the moment fades away
Into a treasured memory
(spoken)
Is this neurology?
Perfect
I attended medical school at Harvard
Graduated early, top of my class
And now I got so many doctorates
They're comin' out my *clears throat*
Well suffice to say you're in safe hands with me
(spoken)
I've often said that practicing medicine
Is a lot like riding a bike
Just keep on smiling
They'll nеver know
Everybody loves a liе
Everybody loves a show
(spoken)
I also, uhh, passed the bar, y'know
Now I'm not saying that my journey
To state attorney was a breeze
But since way back, I've had a knack
For spouting complex legalese
And now you have me as your guide
(spoken)
Today we'll be focusing on misdirection
Slight of hand, and bamboozlement!
But first our confession,
Our profession
Is not favorably viewed
But that's the nature of the job
You either screw
Or you get screwed
S'you better strap in for the ride
(spoken)
I've often said that winning a court case
Is a lot like riding a bike
Just keep on smiling
They'll never know
Everybody loves a lie
So go and give the folks a show
(spoken)
So what we're gonna do, Celine, is
We're gonna say that
This troublemaker, this trailblazer
Annie Londonderry broke into that office there
Where her bicyle is
When you were in the john
And Celine, in a blaze of glory,
Comes out of the toilet
And you see that harlot trying to get away
And you sprint to water
You've never run so fast
In your whole entire life!
And at the last second possible,
You get ahold of the bike
But it's still moving,
So what do you do?
(spoken)
Why, you hop on the back
And now you're traveling
Along with her, hanging on for dear life
Desperate to return the bike to
It's rightful place of customs
(spoken)
Annie cycles, Celine holds tight
But the faster Annie goes,
The further Celine is from her office!
And before she knows it
She has absolutely no idea where she is!
ANNIE & MARTHA:
Just keep on smiling
They'll never tell
ANNIE:
If you present a lecturer
That can be trusted
MARTHA:
Competent and well adjusted
Say that you're a great advisor
ANNIE:
And these schmucks are none the wiser!
ANNIE & MARTHA:
Hello Syracuse!
ANNIE:
My writings on philosophy
Were featured on the daily news
ANNIE & MARTHA:
Hello Buffalo!
ANNIE:
When it comes to astral physics
I'm the gal you really ought to know
Don't let them see
The panic bubbling below!
ANNIE & MARTHA:
Just keep on smiling
They'll never tell
ANNIE:
Whether you've arrived
In Baltimore or Barcelona
MARTHA:
Just present a false persona
Flash the crowds a winning grin
ANNIE:
And you will reel the suckers in
ANNIE:
Everybody loves a lie!
MARTHA:
They love, they love a little lie
ANNIE:
Everybody loves a lie!
MARTHA:
They love, they love a little lie
ANNIE & MARTHA:
Don't you know that
Everybody loves to love a show!
