Unlurking

[Jan Drenth <jdrenth@lightspeed.net>]

This listserv is the best source of fun, humor, and information. I have
been lurking for about a year. I have personally replied to several
people, and just had to come out today. The query about the Salvation
Army song was right up my trivia alley. It reminded me of Spelling
Gospel as performed by Oak, Ash & Thorn in Berkeley, California. For
your amusement---the lyrics:


There lived 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 now he laughs at us because we’re S-A-V-E-D
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 Sundays to show their H-A-T
Some people dab their faces up with P-A-I-N-T
An then they laugh at us because we’re S-A-V-E-D
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.

I stand here on the corner with my D-R-U-M drum
It brings to us the drunkards and the B-U-M bum bum
They come to us from hovel and from D-I-T-C-H
While we march on to victory without H-I-T-C-H
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.
