Act I: When I went to the bar - Steven Page/Czech Symphony Orchestra/John Landor[00:00:00]

When I went to the Bar as a very young man [00:00:05]

Said I to myself said I[00:00:08]

I'll work on a new and original plan [00:00:10]

Said I to myself said I[00:00:12]

I'll never assume that a rogue or a thief[00:00:14]

Is a gentleman worthy implicit belief [00:00:16]

Because his attorney has sent me a brief [00:00:18]

Said I to myself said I[00:00:21]

Ere I go into court I will read my brief through[00:00:28]

Said I to myself said I[00:00:31]

And I'll never take work I'm unable to do[00:00:33]

Said I to myself said I[00:00:35]

My learned profession I'll never disgrace[00:00:37]

By taking a fee with a grin on my face [00:00:39]

When I haven't been there to attend to the case[00:00:42]

Said I to myself said I[00:00:44]

I'll never throw dust in a juryman's eyes[00:00:52]

Said I to myself said I[00:00:53]

Or hoodwink a judge who is not over-wise[00:00:56]

Said I to myself said I[00:00:58]

Or assume that the witnesses summoned in force[00:01:00]

In Exchequer Queen's Bench Common Pleas or Divorce [00:01:03]

Have perjured themselves as a matter of course[00:01:05]

Said I to myself said I[00:01:07]

In other professions in which men engage[00:01:15]

Said I to myself said I[00:01:17]

The Army the Navy the Church and the Stage[00:01:19]

Said I to myself said I[00:01:27]

Professional licence if carried too far [00:01:30]

Your chance of promotion will certainly mar[00:01:32]

And I fancy the rule might apply to the Bar[00:01:34]

Said I to myself said I[00:01:36]
