I bet that I could sue you under finance law

A paean to our money-grabbing, sue everyone you can society. To the tune of Arctic Monkeys's 'I bet that you look good on the dancefloor'
Finance law audio file

'Stop shaking your thighs at me, I'll be claiming assault from you
And as my lawyers advise me, I've got my rights and I should sue
Cos I'll claim it's invasion (your hand on my groin)
Though on this occasion (there's fire in my loins)
You won't buy me Rio cos I swear you've a plan
That buying me booze might result in a bang, b-b-bang go!

I bet that I'll sue you under Tort law
I don't know if we'll fight it in court or...we could just fight on the floor
But I bet that I'd have you under Tort law
Using a frivolous law suit prop page eleven, clause number ten part four
Subsection 84!

Then he started pawing me, cos I was legging it up the stair
Hundred pounds, yeah, I'm suing 'im cos I weren't expecting it to be there
I'll claim compensation (as much as I can)
Accept no explanation (but maybe a grand?)
He drives a green Clio cos he wrote off his Ford
And fighting a bruise is result cos the car's not insured so

I bet that I'll sue you under finance law
I don't know if I'll take cash advance or I'll see how much I can sue you for
I said I'll get that cash (you would), it's disgraceful
By referring to a precedent prop like Blue Peter's 'Here's one I made before'
Way back in '84!'
