Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDAAEECD FFGGCD EEBBCD HHIICDTo Policeman G the Inspector said | A |
When you pass the 'shops' you must turn your head | A |
If you took a wager that would be a sin | B |
So you'll earn no stripes if you run them in | B |
Mush a ring tiy ah | C |
Fol de diddle doh | D |
To the House Committee the Inspector said | A |
'Tis a terrible thing how the gamblers spread | A |
For they bet on the steeple and they bet on the Cup | E |
And the magistrates won't lock them up | E |
Mush a ring tiy ah | C |
Fol de diddle doh | D |

But Policeman G as he walks his beat | F |
Where ghe gamblers are up and down the street | F |

But begad if you start to suppress the 'shop' | E |
Then the divil only knows where you're going to stop | E |
For the rich and the poor they would raise a din | B |
If at Randwick I ran fifty thousand in | B |
Mush a ring tiy ah | C |
Fol de diddle doh | D |
- | |
Though ye must not box nor shpit nor bet | H |
I'll find my way out to Randwick yet | H |
For I'm shtandin' a pound and it's no disgrace | I |
On Paddy Nolan's horse for the Steeplechase | I |
Mush a ring tiy ah | C |
Fol de diddle doh | D |
