Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGHHEE IIGGJJEE| You've heard of Violet de Vere strip teaser of renown | A |
| Whose sitting base out faired the face of any girl in town | A |
| Well she was haled before the Bench for breachin' of the Peace | B |
| Which signifies araisin' Cain an' beatin' up the police | B |
| So there she stood before the Court of ruddy Judge McGraw | C |
| Whom folks called Old Necessity because he knew no law | C |
| Aye crackin' in a silken gown an' sheddin' of a tear | D |
| Ashine wi' gold an' precious stones sat Violet de Vere | E |
| Old Judge McGraw looked dourly down an' stroked his silver beard | F |
| Says he Although the Sheriff's bruised the lady should be heared | F |
| What can you say in your defence We'll give you a square deal | G |
| I jest forget said Violet Maybe it was my heel | G |
| I always want to kick the gong when I am feelin' gay | H |
| It's most unfortunate I guess his face was in the way | H |
| Then scratchin' of his snowy pow the Judge looked down severe | E |
| Where bright wi' paint like plaster saint sat Violet de Vere | E |
| - | |
| Says he I'm going to impose a twenty dollar fine | I |
| Says Violet Your Honour to your judgement I resign | I |
| I realize I should not my agility reveal | G |
| Next time I'll kick the Sheriff with my toe and not my heel | G |
| I'm grateful to the Court because I'm not put in the clink | J |
| There's twenty plunks to pay my fine but now I come to think | J |
| Judge darlin' you've been owin' me five bucks for near a year | E |
| Take fifteen there We'll call it square said Violet de Vere | E |
