| lyric | A German clockwinder to Dubli once came.
Benjamin Fooks was the old German’s name.
And as he was winding his way round the strand
He played on his flute and the music was grand.
Singing: Tooralumaluma,
Tooralumalumatooradeay.
Toorade, Toorade, Toorade ay.
Tooralumaluma, Tooralumaluma, Tooradeay.
Toorade, YouradeYouradeay.
Oh there was a young lady from Grosvenor Square
Who said that her clock was in need of repair
In walks the bould German and to her delight
In less than five minutes he had her clock right.
CHORUS
Now as they were seated down on the floor
There came this very loud knock on the door
In walked her husband and great was his shock
For to see the ould German wind up his wife's clock.
CHORUS
The husband says he, ‘Now look here Mary Anne
Don’t let that bould German come in here again
He woundup your clock and left mine on the shelf
If your oul’ clock needs winding, sure I’ll wind it meself.’
CHORUS |
