Sorry Gene....My Mom used to sing this all the time when I was small in the 50's. She had the sheet music and I always enjoyed singin the PTLAPTA part.

Geez you're picky Joe! We already linked the lyrics but since you're so slow and behind the 8 ball.........


Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
Words and music by Frank Loesser, ©1942.
As recorded by the Merry Macs.

Down went the gunner; a bullet was his fate.
Down went the gunner, and then the gunner's mate.
Up jumped the sky pilot, gave the boys a look,
And manned the gun himself as he laid aside his Book, shouting...

{Refrain}
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free

Praise the Lord and swing into position.
Can't afford to be a politician.
Praise the Lord; we're all between perdition
And the deep blue sea.

Yes, the sky pilot said it.
Ya gotta give him credit,
For a sonofagun of a gunner was he,

Shouting Praise the Lord, we're on a mighty mission.
All aboard; we're not a-goin' fishin'.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
And we'll all stay free.

{Refrain twice}
