Ok I'm just reposting the lyrics now because we need to fix the locket paradox so I wanted to put this out there to show that including it really wouldn't make the song too long. This is just a demonstration of it, and in fact, the bit I added definitely needs work
Orly: Customer ask me to deal cards. The victim, he plays with his hand on locket at his neck. Then, last hand is done! But something terrible has happened, dah! That man flew at victim, and is strangling him to death!
Apollo: That’s not true!
Kristoph: Obviously. So find the contradiction and object to it. Cross-examination is like poker, Justice: If you play your cards right, you can’t lose. And if these cards happen to be the ones that brought us here, wreathed in their blue flame, all the better.
Apollo: Uh… Okay.
Judge: Witness, who won the game?
Orly: The one who went kaput.
Apollo: Objection! That’s ridiculous! Because, uh… Mr. Wright can’t lose!!!
Kristoph: ...Mr. Justice?
Apollo: Yeah?
Kristoph: Would you mind making a more legitimate objection?
Apollo: But he hadn’t lost in seven years!
Kristoph: But there’s a chance he lost this game, and the law does not rely on maybes. The law is absolute.
(sung)
We’re not the kind of lawyers To base our case on bluffs. So find a contradiction-- Our evidence is enough.
Look through the court record-- With it you won’t be lonely You’ll find exactly what you need To shred that testimony.
Apollo: I think I found just what I need! Kristoph: You found the right connection? Then do what Chords of Steel do best And yell… Apollo (spoken): Objection! Miss Orly, the victim wasn’t strangled! The autopsy report says he was hit over the head!
Orly: Aack!
Kristoph: Good job, Justice.
Judge: Why yes! Right here it says "Cause of Death: Blunt Force Trauma"
Apollo: Ms. Orly I don't believe you truly ever witnessed anything
Orly: Dah! No no I am remembering! He did hit him with the bottle. I only thought he was strangling him because you see, I saw Wright taking the locket off of Smith's neck. In fact, He is wearing that locket right now!
Judge: What!
Phoenix: HOLD IT!(sung) Your Honor, you shouldn't be so quick to judge You claim that it's conclusive proof I had a grudge? Before you condemn me for Mr. Smith's slaughter Know in that locket lies a photo of my daughter It's fine if you find my words suspect I'll wait here why don't you go and check
Payne: (Spoken) That will be unnecessary. The Prosecution has already confirmed that that is indeed Mr. Wright's daughter. Regardless of the locket the fact remains, Mr. Justice, that the victim is dead because your client is a sore loser!
Orly: It is true, Wright lose. Smith had many more chips than the defendant.
Apollo: But if you do the math, Mr. Wright had more points!
Orly: Argh!
Payne: But that would mean the defendant was winning! Why would the defendant kill the victim if he won?
Apollo: ...Exactly! There’s no motive at all!
Payne: Ack!
Orly: Objection! I... I have lied. Wright was angry because...There was cheat. There were five aces, not four.
Apollo: Objection! There are only four in the photo!
Orly: But... There were five! I swear to you…
Kristoph (sung): When there’s a contradiction, We may only trust the facts Examine the hand of cards To see how you should act.
Apollo (spoken): Examine the cards…? Ack! There’s a blue card in here! They’re all supposed to be red, like me!
Orly: Impossible! I put that card in WRIGHT’s hand!
Apollo: ...What?
Kristoph: Evidence is all we have But there are some who cheat The facts are always bendable To those who know deceit. (spoken) Isn’t that right, witness?
Orly: Ahhh!
Apollo: If she was the only other person in the room, then… You’re the murderer we’re looking for!
(Music stops)
Orly (loses accent): You're wrong! I'll admit, I'm a pro dealer, but I’m no murderer. And my last name is pronounced like "Oh really!"
Judge: Oh, really?
Orly: You want the truth? Fine. I, Olga "quick-fingers" Orly was hired to make our unbeatable legend look bad-- slip a few cards up his sleeve, deal five aces, have Smith expose him as a cheater, and ruin his reputation.
Apollo: Doesn’t the guy look bad enough as is?
Orly: It didn't matter, so long as I got paid. As soon as Smith finished searching him, Wright picked up a bottle and swung it.
Apollo: Why would Mr. Wright hit the victim? The trap failed!
Orly: I don’t know! All I know is that I saw it happen!
Apollo: Witness… Why are you touching your neck?
Kristoph: What are you going on about, Apollo?
Apollo: Every time she mentions the moment of the crime, it’s like she’s subconsciously reacting to something. Witness… Were YOU the one who was hit with the bottle?
Orly: The one who swung a bottle that night… Was the victim. He… hit me. Because the trap didn’t work.
Kristoph (sung):
This witness is full of lies
Just excuse after excuse
She’s the killer we’re looking for
And now she’s tied her noose. Orly (sung):
There are no contradictions for you to find,
Defense, you’re out of luck this time
Olga Orly isn’t lying!
Apollo (whispered): I have to follow my gut. I’m fine.
Apollo (sung): Sir, I don’t think she’s lying We’re in the right direction Kristoph: She’s got a motive, Justice She’s lying!
Phoenix: Objection!

Also I just realized that in my efforts to resolve the locket problem, a new one has taken it place. Specifically with Ace up your Sleeve. In that, we have Phoenix "teaching" Apollo about his ability and Olga's neck thing per the game, but in this song Apollo just sort of, figures it out on his own. It kinda doesn't make a whole lot of sense and since we have to choose one, I'd go with Ace up your sleeve. A, because it sticks with the game and B, Knowing Apollo, he probably wouldn't have thought to use something as out there as hyper-sensitive tell-spotting. Considering its not a typical lawyer thing and Apollo is the most "normal" lawyer of the AA crew. And definitely not on his first day

This song is mostly dialogue, which makes it really difficult to use.
And to be honest, the locket just isn't important. It was nice in the game, but to put it into the plot is just confusing because the audience can't see the locket. We can visualize this locket, which makes it seem like "oh, we can just throw in a quick reference to it", but nobody is going to have any idea what we're talking about.

The Reason I think we should include it is not because of the actual locket itself but because of its importance in establishing that Phoenix has a daughter

I've got some new pieces of information! Time to run an update!
Orly: Customer ask me to deal cards. The victim, he seem to be on guard. Last hand is done, but it looks grim Wright begins to strangle him!
Apollo: That’s not true!
Kristoph: Obviously. So find the contradiction and object to it. Cross-examination is like poker, Justice: If you play your cards right, you can’t lose. Let the evidence be your compass These playing cards wreathed in blue!
Apollo: Right. Rely on the evidence.
Judge: Witness, who won the game?
Orly: The one who went kaput.
Apollo: Objection! That’s ridiculous! Because, uh… Mr. Wright can’t lose!!!
Kristoph: ...Mr. Justice?
Apollo: Yeah?
Kristoph: Would you mind making a more legitimate objection?
Apollo: But he hadn’t lost in seven years!
Kristoph: Evidence is all we have in court. There’s a chance Wright lost this game, and the law does not rely on maybes. The law is absolute.

Orly: Dah! No. No, I am remembering!
That man hit him with the bottle. But I thought he strangled him! But maybe it wasn’t hostile When he took Smith’s locket off of him.
Look, he is wearing that locket right now!
Judge: What!
Phoenix: HOLD IT!(sung)
Your Honor, please don’t be too quick to judge This locket isn’t proof I had a grudge. Inside is a picture of my daughter So don’t use it to condemn her father.
Payne: (Spoken) Unfortunately, he’s telling the truth. The Prosecution has already confirmed that that is indeed Mr. Wright's daughter in that locket. Regardless of your client’s piece of jewelry, the fact remains, Mr. Justice, that the victim is dead because your client is a sore loser!
Orly: It is true, Wright lose. Smith had many more chips than the defendant.
Apollo: But if you do the math, Mr. Wright had more points!
Orly: Argh!

Orly: Ahhh!
Apollo: This witness hasn’t testified A word that didn’t include a lie! Now we know she tried to cheat, But Phoenix Wright can’t be beat!
Witness, you’re acting pretty shady! if you were the only other person in the room, then… I’d say you’re the murderer we’re looking for!
(Music stops)
And I actually have evidence to back me up this time!
Orly (loses accent): You're wrong! I'll admit, I'm a pro dealer, but I’m no murderer. You want the truth? I’m not even Russian! And my last name is pronounced like "Oh really!"
Judge: Oh, really?
Orly: I, Olga "quick-fingers" Orly, was hired to ease some irritation. Slip some cards up Wright’s sleeve, And ruin his reputation.
Apollo: Doesn’t the guy look bad enough as is?
Orly: It didn't matter, so long as I got paid. But it seems like Smith was the one who got what he earned! As soon as Smith finished searching him, Wright picked up a bottle and swung it.
Apollo: Why would Mr. Wright hit the victim? The trap failed!
Orly: I don’t know! All I know is that I saw it happen!
Apollo: Witness… Are you okay? You’re holding your neck like you’re in pain. Orly: There’s nothing wrong! I’m fine! Apollo: Hey, hold it! That’s my line!
Apollo: Why does your neck hurt, witness? Please tell the truth, for your own credibility’s sake!
Orly: The one who swung a bottle that night… Was the victim. He… hit me. Because the trap didn’t work.
Kristoph (sung): This witness is full of lies Just excuse after excuse She’s the killer we’re looking for And now she’s tied her noose. Orly (sung): There are no contradictions for you to find, Defense, you’re out of luck this time Olga Orly isn’t lying! Apollo (whispered): I have to follow my gut. I’m fine.

Phoenix: Objection!

Apollo: Why would Mr. Wright hit the victim? The trap failed! If you guys+girls (and toaster ovens) don't mind I may change this up a bit, add a bit about how the trap failed and the 5 of hearts (its location being a little important) because Apollo kind of jumps to conclusions about the trap failing here. It would only be a few lines of dialog. Orly: I don’t know! All I know is that I saw it happen!

And I'm willing to work with you over anything you need.

Just a question: In the final version, are we going to include the bit where Orly faints at the end of her testimony, or are we just cutting straight to Phoenix's objection? The reason I ask is because I'm working on the script for this scene and I want to know about where the song will end (for now at least).

Well, personally, I think we would have a super small fainting scene. It's not the most important thing in the world.
