[LORD CHANCELLOR]
The Law is the true embodiment
Of everything that's excellent
It has no kind of fault or flaw
And I, my Lords, embody the Law
The constitutional guardian I
Of pretty young Wards in Chancery
All very agreeable girls, and none
Are over the age of 21
A pleasant occupation for
A rather susceptible Chancellor!

[PEERS]
A pleasant occupation for
A rather susceptible Chancellor!

[LORD CHANCELLOR]
But though the compliment implied
Inflates me with legitimate pride
It nevertheless can't be denied
That it has its inconvenient side
For I'm not so old, and not so plain
And I'm quite prepared to marry again
But there'd be the deuce for pay in the Lords
If I fell in love with one of my Wards!
Which rather tries my temper, for
I'm such a susceptible Chancellor!
