No. 2: The Solicitors Song —
Up a Little Early
| PENNYFATHER |
| |
Up a little early, take a little tub,
Make a little splutter, do a little rub; |
| |
|
Have a little breakfast, make a little fuss.
All arrangements make fast, Catch a little bus. |
| |
In a little chamber, up a little stair,
When the clients clamber, they always find me there. |
| |
|
That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee
Making money, storing honey by my industree |
| |
|
|
That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee.
Storing honey, making money by my industree! |
| |
| |
Coming in at ten oclock, going out at four
(Sometimes rather later, never much before) |
| |
|
Hearing little cases, taking little fees,
Finding out my clients imperfections by degrees; . |
| |
Doing little dodges on an clever little plan.
Using opportunities like any other man. |
| |
|
That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee
Making money, storing honey by my industree |
| |
|
|
That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee.
Storing honey, making money by my industree! |
