When I good friends was call'd to the bar

I'd an appetite fresh and hearty

But I was as many young barristers are

An impecunious party

I'd a swallow tail coat of a beautiful blue

And a brief which I bought of a booby

A couple of shirts and a collar or two

And a ring that looked like a ruby

He'd a couple of shirts and a collar or two

And a ring that look'd like a ruby

La la la la la

In Westminister hall I dance to dance

Like a semi despondent fury

For I tho't I never should hit on a chance

Of addressing a British jury

But I soon got tired of third class journeys

And dinners of bread and water

So I fell in love with a rich attorney's

Elderly ugly daughter

So he fell in love with a rich attorney's

Elderly ugly daughter

Ha ha ha

The rich attorney he jump'd with joy

And replied to my fond professions

You shall reap the reward of your pluck me boy

At the Bailey and Middlesex sessions

You'll soon get used to her looks said he

And a very nice girl you will find her

She may very well pass for forty three

In the dusk with a light behind her

She may very well pass for forty three

In the dusk with a light behind her

Ha ha ha

The rich attorney was good as his word

The briefs came trooping gaily

And every day my voice was heard

At the sessions of ancient Bailey

All thieves who could my fees afford

Relied on my orations

And many a burglar I've restored

To his friends and his relations

And many of burglar he's restored

To his friends and his relations

At length I became as rich as the Gurneys

An incubus then I thought her

So I threw over that rich attorney's

Elderly ugly daughter

The rich attorney my character high

Tried vainly to disparage

No

Yes

And now if you please I'm ready to try

This breach of promise of marriage

And now if you please he's ready to try

This breach of promise of marriage

For now I'm a judge

And a good judge too

Yes now I'm a judge

And a good judge too

Though all my law be fudge

Yet I'll never never budge

And I'll live and die a judge

And a good judge too

It's manage by a job

And a good job too

It's manage by a job

And a good job too

It's paiden to the mob

That might been made unmob

Was if affected by a job

And a good job too
