(To the tune of "Killing Me Softly With His Song")

"Billing Me Softly"

Padding the invoice with research
Adding the hours that he sleeps
Billing me softly for his work
Billing me softly for no work
Billing the whole day for his lunch
Billing me softly, though we lost

I heard he knew the case law, I heard he knew the rules
And so I thought he'd win with, expensive legal tools
But there he was, the judge said, you don't have a case here

Padding the invoice with research...
(repeat chorus)

I felt all flushed with anger, and then it hit me square
That he'd be charging thousands, for work that was not there
I prayed that he'd have mercy, but how his list went on...

Padding the invoice with research...
(repeat chorus)

He billed for time in traffic, and for a weekend trip
For when he thought at lunchtime, and for the waiter's tip
And he just kept on billing, items vague and long

Padding the invoice with research...
(repeat chorus)
