Reasonable Doubts (from Clueless the Musical)
[Verse 1]
As a student of the law, and naturally unbiased
I submit that this twit is a bit, no seriously, flawed
One conclusion we can draw, his aims are not the highest
With those looks and that suit, no dispute
It’s clear that he’s a fraud
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She’s carefree, innocent and trusting
She can’t see the danger he may pose
Obviously, his motives are disgusting
Which is my duty to disclose
[Chorus 1]
I’ve got reasonable doubts
Lots of reasonable doubts
From his questionable conducts
To the lingo they spout
And it’s my professional conviction
She should lie beyond his jurisdiction
That’s just my entirely objective legal view
[Verse 2]
Based upon exhibit A, they're claiming his testimony
I could test that at best, he’s a pest and, likely, even worse
If not criminal for say, a predatory phoney
The unappeal is appeal
May be real, but culpably adverse
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She’s a pure impressionable victim
So demure, I know she won’t suspect
I’m not sure exactly why she picked him
Even so, your honor, I object
[Chorus 2]
I’ve got reasonable doubts
Tons of reasonable doubts
True, I’m just a little fuzzy
On the legal ins and outs
But this guy is slicker than a porpoise
That he’ll try to habeas or corpus
FYI, that’s nearly my impartial legal view
[Bridge]
She needs a guy who'll respect her
Who will swear to be there should she fall
Who won’t leer at that sheer little dress
Although, yes, not the dress
Nonetheless, you’re digressing
Someone wise to advise and protect her
Someone close she can comfortably call
And not that you care, you should be aware
You legally aren’t related at all
[Chorus 3]
I've got reasonable doubts, really reasonable doubts
About the touchy implications of the precedence he flouts
I’ve got reasonable doubts, super reasonable doubts
Someone ought to be observing all their future whereabouts
Can’t deny his history of partying
Should imply a court-appointed guardian
Bye the bye, this really is a slanted legal view
[Outro]
That’s just my entirely objective legal view
