Law School Association Lyrics

n.p.: [Association of American Law Schools], 1960. Pamphlet. 90p., pamphlet, neatly printed on coated paperstock and stapled into 8.5x5.5 inch orange wraps. Extensive collection, the lyrics printed as poetry without musical notation, music cued by familiar song titles printed with the parody (it is usually a case of parody and lampoon). Both front and back covers are irregularly sunned, dust-soiled and lightly stained. Entirely clean within, and quite sound. Jocular stuff gotten up for the association's Christmas get-togethers. "Don't hit your professor with a shovel / It makes a bad impression on his mind" a lesser effort here. But others have some weight: "Ain't Gonna Need This Job" (to the tune of This Ole House) goes, "This old job is pretty lousy / This old job is full of grief, / And this measley little law school, / I will leave it with relief... Ain't gonna need this job no longer, / I'm a-gettin' ready to be a judge" --Tom Lehrer almost certainly an influence in this period.
