[G] [Dm7] [G] [Dm7]
I'm im pressed
[G] [Dm7] [G] [C#dim]
With the way he runs the store
NC [Fm7] [Bb9]
He's got Dodger season boxes
[Ebm7] [Ab9]
And an office full of foxes
[Dbma7]
It's amazing all the different things
[Cm7] [F7b9] [G] [D7] [G7]
Your average guy might need a lawyer for
Chorus

Bernie tells me what to do

I'm in touch
[G] [Dm7] [G]
With my attorney Bernie
[G] [Dm7] [G] [Dm7]
In a clutch
[G] [Dm7] [G] [C#dim]
He can speed right to the scene
NC [Fm7] [Bb9]
And if I'm locked up in the jail
[Ebm7] [Ab9]
With just one phone call for my bail
[Dbma7]
He said to call his club collect
[Cm7] [F7b9] [G] [D7] [G7]
Or deal directly with his answering machine
Verse

And when I dine
[G] [Dm7] [G]
With my attorney Bernie
[G] [Dm7] [G] [Dm7]
He buys wine
[G] [Dm7] [G] [C#dim]
From the rare imported rack
NC [Fm7] [Bb9]
That's 'cause Bernie is a purist
[Ebm7] [Ab9]
And not your polyester tourist
[Dbma7]
Bernie waves the glass around awhile
[Cm7] [F7b9] [Am7] [D7] [G7]
Then takes a sip and always sends it back
Chorus
NC [F9] [Bbma7]
Bernie tells me what to do
NC [D9] [Gma7]

Bernie says, we sign, we sign

I admire
[G] [Dm7] [G]
My attorney Bernie
[G] [Dm7] [G] [Dm7]
I admire
[G] [Dm7] [G] [C#dim]
Any guy who knows his stuff
NC [Fm7] [Bb9]
Sure, we blew a couple ventures
[Ebm7] [Ab9]
With a counterfeit debentures
[Dbma7]
But you win a few, you lose a few
[Cm7] [F7b9] [G] [D7] [G7]
Like Bernie says, "You keep on hanging tough"
[Dm7]
Thanks to you
[G] [Dm7] [G]
My attorney Bernie
[G] [Dm7] [G] [Dm7]
Thanks to you
[G] [Dm7] [G] [C#dim]
I'm considered well to do
[Dm7]
Sure, I made out like a bandit
[G] [Dm7]
Just exactly like you planned it
[G] [Dm7] [G] [Dm7]
But like Murray, my accountant
[G] [Dm7] [G] [C#dim]
Told me yesterday, I owe it all to you.
