[00:00.00]Your witness
[00:01.87]“Mr. X, may we ask you a question?
[00:06.50]It's amazing, is it not,
[00:09.52]That the city pays you slightly less than fifty bucks a week,
[00:12.96]Yet you've purchased a private yacht?”
[00:16.13]“I am positive your Honor must be joking!
[00:19.80]Any working man can do what I have done.
[00:22.88]For a month or two I simply gave up smoking,
[00:26.35]And I put my extra pennies one by one
[00:30.66]“Into a little tin box,
[00:35.09]A little tin box
[00:37.17]That a little tin key unlocks.
[00:40.78]There is nothing unorthodox
[00:43.91]About a little tin box (x3)
[00:49.49]In a little tin box.
[00:52.05]A little tin box
[00:54.21]That a little tin key unlocks.
[00:57.43]There is honor and purity,

[01:02.88]In a little tin box.”

[01:10.15]“Mr. Y, we've been told you don't feel well,
[01:13.52]And we know you've lost your voice,

[01:20.20]To acquire a new Rolls-Royce.”
[01:23.58]“You're implyin' I'm a crook and I say no, sir!

[02:22.40]“Mr. Z, you're a junior official
