1. O the Bobby stepped out he was lord of the town but soon he stopped short with a stare and a frown for the name on the dray that stood over the way |: was Moses -Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay :| 2. Then the Bobby grew big like a hen in a "clieve" and visions arose of a V on his sleeve promotion he whispered I'll look for today with Moses-Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay 3. O come tell me your name says the limb-o-the law to the poor little man selling delph in the straw me name o what is it 'tis there on the dray 'tis Moses-Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay 4. Now that is no ledgible name do you mind and if it's proved Irish you're sure to be fined and then I will look for a rise in my pay so come-along mister Ri-Tooral-I-Ay 5. O 'tis all very fine said the local JP but this case is too complicated for me you'll have to get Peter the packer to say what we'll do with Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay

6. When the trial came on sure it lasted a week one judge said 'twas German another said Greek prove him Irish said Peter beyond ye or nay and we'll "sit" on Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay 7. Then Peter got mad and he looked all around he looked at the jury they looked at the ground he turned to the judges but all they could say was Moses-Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay 8. Then he turned to the prisoner as stiff as a crutch are you English or Irish or German or Dutch I'm a Jew sir one Jew who come here for to say that I'm Moses-Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay 9. Then we're two of trade says the judge to the Jew you pack for your living I pack for mine too this numbskull has blundered and for it must pay quite right says Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay 10. And now there's a scavenger sweeping the street he once was a peeler the pride of his beat and he's moaning by night and he's groaning by day bad luck to Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay yes he's moaning by night and he's groaning by day bad luck to Ri-Tooral-I-Ooral-I-Ay
