James Patrick O'Hara, the Justice of Peace, / He bossed the P. M. and he bossed the police; / A parent, a deacon, a landlord was he -- / A townsman of weight was O'Hara, J. P.
He gave out the prizes, foundation-stones laid, / He shone when the Governor's visit was paid; / And twice re-elected as Mayor was he -- / The flies couldn't roost on O'Hara, J. P.
