song lyrics Moses Ritooraliay lyrics MOSES RI-TOORAL-I-AY (Brain O Higgins) 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 "and 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." said 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 strset; 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. " Note: This reflects on the period when the Irish language was outlawed in Ireland; the inability of the police to speak, or even recognize the language presented enforcement problems. Briscoe was Dublin s mayor. He was Jewish. (As the story goes, "only in America." Recorded by Clancys See also  LIMBLAW filename[ MOSESRIT play.exe VILDINAH RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY=== song lyrics
