Ahem! Ahem!
How do you do
Gentlemen and ladies too,
there's not a doubt
that known to you,
is Serjeant Sharp pf Lincolns Inn.
Everybody knows my name,
every one has heard the fame,
in town or circuit
it's the same,
of Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.

I'm Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn,
Lincolns Inn, Lincolns Inn,
there's none can pitch the blarney in,
like Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.

I think at once I'd better state,
perhaps before it is too late;
there's nothing at all like six and eight,
about Serjeant Sharp of Lincolnc Inn.
That figure ne'er would do for me,
I never less than guinea see,
from five to fifty if the fee,
for Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.

I'm Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn,
Lincolns Inn, Lincolns Inn,
there's none can pitch the blarney in,
like Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.

My clients they all understand,
when once I take their case in hand,
that none a verdict can command
like Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.
I'll wager wig, and hands, and gown,
although opposing counsel frown,
with damaages they must come down
to Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.

I'm Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn,
Lincolns Inn, Lincolns Inn,
there's none can pitch the blarney in,
like Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.

I have a famous cause next week,
the case is Brass versus Cheek,
and for the plaintiff I shall speak,
through the brass I'll get the tin.
My client is a maiden fair
with turnup nose and scarlet hair;
a disappointed love affair,
the sort of case I always win.

I'm Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn,
Lincolns Inn, Lincolns Inn,
there's none can pitch the blarney in,
like Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.

"Lovely Sarah, what more fairer
than that lovely form of thine;
if I could press it, how I'd bless it,
say, O say, that you'll be mine."
"Dear old Billy, don't be silly,
but go at once and buy the ring;
and come from shopsey, to your popsey,
for, O, you are a dear old thing."

I'm Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn,
Lincolns Inn, Lincolns Inn,
there's none can pitch the blarney in,
like Serjeant Sharp of Lincolns Inn.
