Though often we stumble, there’s nothing like law!

There’s a charm in the wig, there’s a grace in the gown,

And say what they will, ’tis the best trade in town.

Law, law, cheap, cheap law,

There’s no trade like law; there’s no trade like law.

For counsel-at-law clients whistle in vain,

“Oh, give us our wasted retainers again;

The bright, golden guineas we paid at your call,

Give us these, and the ‘Fees on Brief,’ greater than all.”
