Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFGHIJHKLMNOPQ| Suppose you stood just five feet two | A |
| And had worked your way as a grocery clerk | B |
| Studying law by candle light | C |
| Until you became an attorney at law | D |
| And then suppose through your diligence | E |
| And regular church attendance | E |
| You became attorney for Thomas Rhodes | F |
| Collecting notes and mortgages | G |
| And representing all the widows | H |
| In the Probate Court And through it all | I |
| They jeered at your size and laughed at your clothes | J |

| You became the County Judge | K |
| And Jefferson Howard and Kinsey Keene | L |
| And Harmon Whitney and all the giants | M |
| Who had sneered at you were forced to stand | N |
| Before the bar and say Your Honor | O |
| Well don't you think it was natural | P |
| That I made it hard for them | Q |
