To appear in Gilhooley's Estate."

So a barrister-man, with a wig on his head,
And a brief in his hand quite elate,
Went up to the Court where they bury the dead,
Just to move in Gilhooley's Estate.

But his Honor the Judge said, "I think that the joint
Legatees must be called to proBATE --
Ex parte Pokehorney is clear on the point --
The point of Gilhooley's Estate.

"I order a suit to be brought just to try
If this is correct that I state --
A nice friendly suit, and the costs, by and by,
Must be borne by Gilhooley's Estate."

So Mrs. Gilhooley says, "Jones, you'll appear!
Thim barristers' fees is too great;
The suit is but friendly." "Attorneys, my dear,
Can't be heard in Gilhooley's Estate."

From the Barristers' Court there's a mighty hurrah
Arises both early and late:
It's only the whoop of the Junior Bar
Dividing Gilhooley's Estate.
