Statute of Frauds Song

This is a "Law Lessong" - a law lesson in a song - that I wrote to help students remember the 6 categories of contracts that require a writing in order to be enforceable. Audio files for more law lessongs can be found here: http://sites.google.com/site/blawprof...) More "Law Lessong" videos will be posted at the Legal Studies Classroom blog: http://legalstudiesclassroom.blogspot... No copyright infringement is intended. This melody of this song is based on "Jamaica Farewell." Lyrics for Jamaica Farewell were written by Lord Burgess (Irving Burgee) but the melody was drawn from West Indies folk songs. Jamaica Farewell was originally recorded by Harry Belafonte. The Statute of Frauds Song Lyrics by M. DeAngelis Melody based on "Jamaica Farewell" Oh, I'm glad to say, that any day, An oral contract is still OK. But it's a fact, for 6 kinds of pacts, The Statute of Frauds requires a written contract. Please, oh please, won't you marry me? I will give you riches and jewels that shine. I'll say "I do" and marry you, As soon as you sign on the dotted line! Oh, I'm glad to say, that any day, An oral contract is still OK. But it's a fact, for 6 kinds of pacts, The Statute of Frauds requires a written contract. If one day, a party say The debt of another she guarantees. If no writing, there's no denying, The contract lacks enforceability. Ah, but don't forget, you may enforce it yet If leading object of the debt Was to benefit the one who said it Then an oral contract the law will permit. When an estate debt cannot wait The executor pledges payment pers'nally That pledge is toast from coast to coast, When the promise is made simply orally. Oh, I'm glad to say, that any day, An oral contract is still OK. But it's a fact, for 6 kinds of pacts, The Statute of Frauds requires a written contract. If it appears that within a year, The contract performance cannot be done. Do not frown, just write it down And the parties' intentions won't be undone. Ah, but don't forget, you may enforce it yet Even lifetime employment Enforceability applies orally Though long term sounding it appears to be. If its land we understand That's the subject of an interest transferring If money's spent even just for rent Of more than a year you need some scribbling. Ah, but don't forget, you may enforce it yet If a Buyer's made partial payment And entered the land or built something grand Or if promissory estoppel rules take command. Finally, under the UCC, A sale of goods worth 500 or more. The UCC treats writings differently And a full written contract may not be in store. Oh, I'm glad to say, that any day, An oral contract is still OK. But it's a fact, for 6 kinds of pacts, The Statute of Frauds requires a written contract.
