When I Went to the Bar (当我去酒吧) - Musical Cast Recording/Original Cast/Original Cast Recording
When I went to the Bar as a very young man
Said I to myself said I
I'll work on a new and original plan
Said I to myself said I

I'll never assume that a rogue or a thief
Is a gentleman worthy implicit belief
Because his attorney has sent me a brief
Said I to myself said I

Ere I go into court I will read my brief through
Said I to myself said I
And I'll never take work I'm unable to do
Said I to myself said I
My learned profession I'll never disgrace
By taking a fee with a grin on my face
When I haven't been there to attend to the case
Said I to myself said I

I'll never throw dust in a juryman's eyes
Said I to myself said I

Or hoodwink a judge who is not over-wise
Said I to myself said I
Or assume that the witnesses summoned in force
In Exchequer Queen's Bench Common Pleas or Divorce
Have perjured themselves as a matter of course
Said I to myself said I

In other professions in which men engage
Said I to myself said I
The Army the Navy the Church and the Stage

Said I to myself said I
Professional licence if carried too far
Your chance of promotion will certainly mar
And I fancy the rule might apply to the Bar
Said I to myself said I
