+ Show full styles

[Intro] 
[grand piano enters with bold dramatic chords] [orchestral strings build with rising courtroom tension] 
(Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1 - Male] 
[dramatic male baritone vocals, theatrical delivery]
Your Honor Exhibit A is the talk
My client set the limits up front

[Female]
I never heard any limits

[Male]
He said take her clothes off
Do the acts they both want
But one thing he stated plain
He would not take off his turtleneck
His turtleneck
His turtleneck
His turtleneck
His turtleneck

[Chorus - Call and Response]
[layered ensemble harmonies enter]

[Male]
Exhibit B shows the force she used
He was butt-naked from the waist down

[Female]
I did not use any force

[Male]
She said love was their habit
But she gripped his neck through the fabric

[Female]
The video's a lie!

[Male]
All he wanted was to finish the act
In his turtleneck
In this... cashmere turtleneck

[vocal ad-libs] 
(The way she was)

[Male]
Gripping his neck, squeezing, choking him

[Female]
I never choked the man

[Male]
He was dripping turtleneck sweat, it was hot
But he was not taking this T-N-R off
He wouldn’t stop until she got off

[Outro] 
[orchestral crescendo builds intensely with rising strings and bold piano strikes] 
[full ensemble joins for powerful climax]

[Male - dramatic baritone, emphatic]
Your Honor, Exhibit A is the talk!
My client set the limits up front
He would take her clothes off
Do the acts they both want
But one thing he stated plain and clear
He would **not** take off his turtleneck!

[Male + ensemble harmonies]
His turtleneck!
His turtleneck!
His cashmere turtleneck!

[Female - overlapping, defensive]
I never forced it!
He agreed to everything!

[Male - triumphant, cutting through]
Stop claiming! Stop claiming!
He would **not** remove that turtleneck!

[Clashing call and response - building chaos]
[Male] His turtleneck!
[Female] I'm being framed!
[Male] His turtleneck!

[Final powerful unified ensemble + grand final chord]
[Male - spoken with finality, almost like banging the gavel]
My Final Judgement. The turtleneck stays on.

[End]
