Wikipedia:
Good Morning Judge was released as the second single from 10cc’s 1977 album Deceptive Bends, following The Things We Do For Love.
By this time, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme had split with Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, so they brought in drummer Paul Burgess for the album, who had already done some work with 10cc.

Lyrics:
Well good morning Judge, how are you today
I’m in trouble, please put me away
A pretty thing took a shine to me
I couldn’t stop her so I let it be
