Christmas Spirts Playbill 2017

JUNIOR PARTNERS

I. The time has come when you should know just who these lawyers are; They’re each and every one of them a credit to the Bar. From morn to night they labor long for but a pittance small; They are the only lawyers who do any work at all.

Chorus: The junior partners! The junior partners! They’re the ones who bring in all the fees! They are the aces, they win the cases— They change the appellants to appellees.

II. Suppose you have a client who’s on trial for his life— He’s bought a gun on purpose to assassinate his wife! As you despair, he’ll get the chair—his case cannot be won— Who then persuades the State’s Attorney he must waive the gun?

Joe Stone and a playwright (Fred Lane) discuss musical ideas.

Chorus:

IV. You have a case come up next week, your client’s out of town— Your motion for continuance is turned down with a frown. While counsel for the other side sees victory and smiles, Who bribes the bally minute clerk and steals the bloomin’ ¿OHV"

Chorus:

III. A lady fair comes in one day, says she wants a divorce— Her husband has a sweetie that she wants you to unhorse. Who do you send to see this dame and wave the magic wand; And make the correspondent really want to correspond?

Chorus:

V. A bankrupt client wants to save a few odd bonds and stocks— He wants you to preserve them in your safe deposit box. When on this base proposal you have properly enlarged, In whose box do you keep the stocks until he is discharged?
