Jack Horntip Origins: Salvation Army/Throw a Nickel on the Drum (66* d) RE: Origins: Salvation Army/Throw a Nickel on the Drum 20 Apr 25


SALVATION ARMY

CHORUS: Salvation Army
Salvation Army
Put a nickel in the drum
Save another drunken bum
Salvation Army
Salvation Army
Put a nickel in the drum and you'll be saved.

1. Down at our bar, all the waitresses wear grass skirts. (BOO!)
But there's plenty of lawnmowers around. (YEA!)

2. Down at our bar, all the waitresses wear skirts down to the floor. (BOO!)
But they're made of Saran Wrap. (YEA!)

3. Down at our bar, they just threw all the beer into the river (BOO!)
Swim call! (YEA!)

4. Down at our bar, all the waitresses wear tin skirts. (BOO!)
But all the men have can openers. (YEA!)

5. Down at our bar, the bar is only 3 feet wide. (BOO!)
But it's 4 miles long (YEA!)

6. Down at our bar, you can't take the waitresses home. (BOO!)
They take you home (YEA!)

7. Down at our bar, you can't sleep with the waitresses. (BOO!)
They don't let you sleep. (YEA!)

8. Down at our bar, the ABC board says we can't drink any more. (BOO!).
They also said we can't drink any less. (YEA!)

9. Down at our bar, we only have one mattress on the floor. (BOO!)
But it goes from wall to wall. (YEA!)

10. Down at our bar, the first rule is no fucking on the dance floor. (BOO!)
The second rule is no dancing on the fuck floor. (YEA!)
