Mr. Moses Ri-Tooral-I-Ay - Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem
The policeman walked out oh so proud on his beat
When a vision came to him of stripes on his sleeve;
"Promotion" he whispered"I'll try for today
So its come with me Mister Ri-tooral-i-ay"
"Come tell me your name" says the limb of the law
To the little fat man selling wares on the straw
"What's that sir Me name sir
Why it's there on display
And it's Moses Ri-tooral-i-ooral-i-ay"
Now the trial it came on and it lasted a week
One judge said 'twas German; another 'twas Greek-
"Prove you're lrish" said the policeman
"beyond it say nay;
And we'll sit on it Moses Ri-tooral-i-ay"
Now the prisoner stepped up there as stiff as a crutch
"Are you lrish or English or German or Dutch"
"I'm a Jew sir; I'm a Jew sir" that came over to stay
And my name it is Moses Ri-tooral-i-ay"
"We're two of a kind" says the judge to the Jew;
"You're a cousin of Briscoe and I am one too
This numbskull has blundered and for it will pay"
"Wisha that's right" says Moses Ri-tooral-i-ay
There's a garbage eollcctor who works down our street
He once was a policeman the pride of his beat
And he moans all the night and he groans all the day
Singing" Moses Ri-tootal-i-ooral-i-ay"
