Subject: RE: s-a-v-e-d
Back in the '60s I knew a variant of the temperance variant:
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 neighbor's C-U-P And then he laughed at us because we're S-A-V-E-D.
Chorus: 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 halleluyah, tralala, amen.
