Salvation Army all gone barmy,
Walking up and down the street chewing lumps of sausage meat
One with a bugle, one with a drum, one with a pancake, one with pancake tried to his bum.

Did anyone already mention this one from Judy Henske? It's a version of the "put a nickel on the drum" song:

Salvation army free from sin
Sailed down the river in a sardine tin
The bottom fell out
They all fell in
Salvation army free from sin

I sang this at an Episcopal Girl’s Camp, St. Stephen’s in Julian, CA “I was lying in the gutter , all covered up with beer. I had pretzels in my eyeballs, I thought the end was near. When along came the army and set me free from sin! Glory, glory, Alleuia, hip-a-ray! I’m in! Sing alleluia, Salvation Army, put a nickel in the drum, save another drunken bum (repeat this line again) I am falling into sin, ha-ray!

We used to sing this at summer camp

When I was just a young girl
I was the village belle

And everybody told me
I’d surely go to hell.
Then came the glorious army
that saved me from my sin
Now everyone who knew me then
can come and join right in

(Chorus
Sing Hallelujah,hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Put a nickle on the drum
Save another drunken bum
Put a nickel
and save a soul.

I used to ride my bicycle
And let my ankles show
An everybody told me
To hell I’d surly go
Then came the glorious army
That saved me from the worst
So everybody bust right out
and sin another verse,

Laying in the gutter
A soppin up the beer
There were pretzels in my eyebrows
I knew the end was near.
Then came the glorious army
That saved me from the hearse
So everybody join me now
And sing another verse.


Chorus

A response 28 years later. The song is by Charlie Case (see write-up in Wikipedia) c. 1920 and was the base for WC Fields' recitation in "The Fatal Glass of Beer". Case made others, too.
