Lyrics:

PLAINTIFF.
Oh, joy unbounded,
With wealth surrounded,
The knell is sounded
Of grief and woe.

COUNSEL.
With love devoted
On you he’s doated.
To castle moated
Away they go.

DEFENDANT.
I wonder whether
They’ll live together
In marriage tether
In manner true?

USHER.
It seems to me, sir,
Of such as she, sir,
A judge is he, Sir,
And a good judge too.

ALL.
Oh, joy unbounded,
With wealth surrounded,
The knell is sounded
Of grief and woe.
It seems to me, sir,
Of such as she, sir,
A judge is he, Sir,
And a good judge too.

JUDGE.
Yes, I am a Judge.

ALL.
And a good Judge too!

JUDGE.
Yes, I am a Judge.

ALL.
And a good Judge too!

JUDGE.
Though homeward as you trudge,
You declare my law is fudge,
Yet of beauty I’m a judge.

ALL.
And a good Judge too!

JUDGE.
Though defendant is a snob.

ALL.
And a great snob too!

DEFENDANT.
No! No! No!

JUDGE. ​
​Though defendant is a snob.

ALL.
​And a great snob too!

DEFENDANT.
No! No! No!

ALL.
Though defendant is a snob,
He’ll reward him from his fob.
So we’ve settled with the job,
And a good job too!
