THE SALVATION ARMY MARCH
Lyin' in the gutter Covered all over with beer, Pretzels in my whiskers, I thought the end was near, When along came the glorious army And saved me from the hearse, And we all burst a gut And sang another verse, 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 save a soul. I SAVED A SOUL!
