Thread Name: Salvation Army comic song
Subject: Lyr Add: S-A-V-E-D ^^
from "Songs for Swingin' Housemothers"..1961 (I sang the song a lot in the 60's)...no my copy is NOT for sale..*grin*

S-A-V-E-D

There was a man in our town,
I think his name was Lem.
He prayed for prohibition,
But he voted R.U.M.
He helped to put the poison
In his neighbors C.U.P,
And now he laughs at us
Because we're S.A.V.E.D

Cho: Oh G.L.O.R.Y. we are S.A.V.E.D
H.A.P.P.Y. to be F.R double E
Oh, V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. from the bonds of S.I.N.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, tra-la-la, amen!

Some people go on weekdays
To D.A.N.C.E.;
They go to church on Sunday
To show their H.A.T.
Some people dab their faces up with P.A.I.N.T.
And then they laugh at us
Because we're S.A.V.E.D

cho:

I stand here on this corner,
With my D.R.U.M. drum.
It brings us to the sinner
And the B.U.M. bum bum.
They come to us from hovel
And from D.I.T.C.H.
And we march on to victory
Without H.I.T.C.H.

cho:^^
