I'M A JUDGE OF THE MODERN SOCIETY SORT. Copyright, 1894, by T B. Harms & Co. As Sung in "The Gaiety Girl" 
I'm a judge of the modern society sort, 'And I'm much overworked with divorces. But I've always some special attractions in court That my name into prominence forces. I can sing. I can flirt, and "At homes" I frequent, Where the upper society crust Is; I'm the bean of the bench and, by common consent, I'm the toff of the high court of justice. And on Sundays my figure erect To be seen in the family pew is. For behavior select is what people expect From a judge of the stamp of Sir Lewis; Yes, on Sundays my figure erect To be seen in the family pew is. For behavior select is what people expect From a judge of the stamp of Sir Lewis. 
When I try the sensational case of the day By the papers I'm frequently guided. For I like to "sum up" in a popular way, Just as public opinion decided. And I'm given to making remarks, when in court, That have really no meaning whatever, In the hope that the papers will duly report And consider them witty and clever. The applause of the junior bar A desirable object in view is, And a flattering "par" in the Sun or the Star, Which will mention the name of Sir Lewis. The applause of the Junior bar A desirable object in view is. And a flattering "par" in the Sun or the Star, Which will mention the name of Sir Lewis.
