Facts:
  • The lyrics below are from Episode 21. The version on "Live From City Center" is similar. There is another version on "Another Monty Python Record." It's listed on the album as "The Judges, Stake Your Claim." (peterpuck9)
  • A short and largely visual bit about judges camping it up and taking off their robes to reveal they're wearing women's underwear under them. This had to be explained in a voice over when the bit was included on the "Live at City Center" concert album. It suggests that if the listener at home is wearing women's underwear, they can follow along with the track-
    "It's fun and only slightly illegal." (Stavro Arrgolus)
  • Song Lyrics:
    First Judge: (very camp) Oh, I've had such a morning in the High Court. I could stamp my little feet the way those QC's carry on.

    Second Judge: (just as camp) Don't I know it, love.

    First Judge: Objection here, objection there! And that nice policeman giving his evidence so well - beautiful speaking voice ... well after a bit all I could do was bang my little gavel.

    Second Judge: You what, love?

    First Judge: I banged me gavel. I did me 'silence in court' bit. Ooh! If looks could kill that prosecuting counsel would be in for thirty years. How did your summing up go?

    Second Judge: Well, I was quite pleased actually. I was trying to do my butch voice, you know, 'what the jury must understand' and they loved it, you know. I could see that foreman eyeing me.

    First Judge: Really?

    Second Judge: Yes, cheeky devil.

    First Judge: Was he that tall man with that very big... ?

    Second Judge: No, just a minute - I must finish you know. Anyway, I finished up with 'the actions of these vicious men is a violent stain on the community and the full penalty of the law is scarcely sufficient to deal with their ghastly crimes', and I waggled my wig! Just ever so slightly, but it was a stunning effect.

    First Judge: Oh, I bet it was... like that super time I wore that striped robe in the Magistrates Court.

    Second Judge: Oh, aye.

    Thanks go to Pete for reminding me of that line from Python's "Live at City Center" album in the voice over from the 'camp judges' bit-
    "it's fun and only slightly illegal"

    This made me look for the page and discover it wasn't filled out! {gasp!}

    It's been sorted now. Thanks, Pete.
