Verse 1
(A minor) (G major) (C major) (G major) The (C major) policeman
walked out
(G major) oh so proud on his beat
(C major) When a vision (A minor) came to him
of (G major) stripes on his sleeve
Promo (F major) tion he whispered, (C major) I'll (F major) try for today
(C major) So come with (G major) me, Mr. I to R 'lyeh (C major)
Come tell me your name,
(G major) says the limb of the law
(C major) To the little fat (A minor) man
selling wares (G major) on the straw
What's (F major) that, my name, (C major) sir?
Why, it is (F major) there on display,
(C major) And it's Moses,
(G major) right o 'er a lie, o 'er (C major) a lie -ay.
Now the trial, it came on,
and (G major) it lasted a (C major) week,
One judge said it was (A minor) Ger man,
another (D major) it was (G major) Greek,
Prove you're Ir (F major) ish, said
the (C major) po liceman,
(F major) beyond it say (C major) nay,
And we said, done it, (G major) Moses,
right o 'er a lie (C major) -ay.
Now the prisoner stepped up there
(G major) as stiff as a (C major) crutch
Are you Irish or (A minor) Eng lish
or German (G major) or Dutch?
I'm a Jew, (F major) sir,
I'm a (C major) Jew, sir,
that came over (F major) to (C major) stay
And me name,
it is (G major) Moses' right to rely (C major)
We're two of a kind,
says (G major) the judge to the (C major) Jew
You're a (A minor) cousin of Briscoe
and I (G major) am one too
This numbskull (F major) has (C major) blundered
and for (F major) it we'll (C major) pay
Wisha that's right,
says (G major) Moses right, Orel -aye (C major)
There's a garbage collector
(G major) who works down our (C major) street
He once was a (A minor) po liceman,
the pride (G major) of his beat
And he moans (F major) all the (C major) night
and (F major) he groans all the (C major) day
Singing Moses (G major) right,
Orel -aye, Orel -aye (C major)
We're (G major) taking applications for the IRA downstairs in the dressing room,
an (G major) d we'll also accept donations
(G major) to the United Jewish Appeal.
Now, we've been singing and talking
about war and destruction and fighting,
and we decided
But we shouldn't leave you
until we sing an anti -war song.
Mr. Moses
