Lyr Req: salvation army girls

Does anyone know the name/lyrics to a comic song that I've seen performed by two salvation army girls, one who has drums and the other symbols. The song starts off very pious and gets raunchier as it goes on suggesting that they've led a rather "interesting" life.

No, but the cymbalism of this song intrigues me. Refresh.

Chorus:
Salvation Army, Salvation Army,
Throw a nickel on the drum
Save another drunken bum.
Salvation Army, Salvation Army,
Throw a nickel on the drum
And save a soul.

That one? It doesn't seem to fit the pious to raunchier character, though.

Salvation Army, Salvation Army
Throw a nickle in the drum
save another drunken bum
salvation army, salvation army

In my town all the girls change behind a brick wall
Booo
But the wall is only knee high
Yaaaayyy

Salvation Army....

In my town there is only one bar
boo
but the bar is 3 miles long
yaaa

Chorus

In my town all the girls wear grass skirts
booo
but all the boys have weed whackers
yaaaaa

I remember the girls on our high school school bus singing this song. The only verses I remember are the one about the grass skirts, above (but in their version all the boys had lawn mowers), and this one:

In my town there is a policeman on every corner
boo
chained to the lamp post!
yaaa
