pg 45, Aloha Jigpoha HALLELUJAH! Lying in the gutter, all guzzled up on beer, Bubble in my whiskers, I thought my end was near, Then came the glorious Army, and I was born again -- Glory, glory, hallelujah, tra-lala, amen, tra-la-la, amen! Chorus: Hallelujah . . . hallelujah! Drop a nickel on the drum, drop an nickel on the drum! Hallelujah . . . hallelujah! Drop a nickel on the drum, and you'll be saved. When I was sweet sixteen, I was the village belle, The way I danced and carried on would send me straight to hell; I rode a tandem bicycle, my ankles were in view, I joined the glorious Army and I was born anew. Happy, happy day ! We are S-A-V-E-D, H-A-P-P-Y to be F-R-double-E ! We're joined to the glorious Army, and we are born again! This songbook was put together by Navy linguistic teams and mimeographed in 1945.
