I behaved like a regular cad;

But that sort of thing is all over.

I’m now a respectable chap,

And shine with a virtue resplendent,

An therefore I haven’t a scrap

Of sympathy with the defendant!

He shall treat us with awe,

If there isn’t a flaw,

Singing so merrily—Trial-la-law!

Trial-la-law—Trial-la-law!
