Battle Hymn of the Republic Song


 
The Tune: Your browser does not support the audio element.
Lyrics:
Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He has loosed the fateful lightning
of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

Chorus: Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on

In the beauty of a stable
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His presence
that transfigures you and me,
And he died to make men holy,
Let us live to make men free;
While God is marching on.
Chorus



Chicken Sandwich
I walk into a restaurant
And this is what I cry:
'I want a chicken sandwich,
Cup of coffee, piece of pie.'
Oh, you will surely hear me
Sing this song until I die!
'I want a chicken sandwich,
Cup of coffee, piece of pie.'



It isn't any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E
It isn't any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E
There isn't any trouble that won't vanish like a bubble,
If you only take the trouble just to S-M-I-L-E.

It isn't any trouble just to G-R-I-N, grin.

It isn't any trouble just to L-A-U-G-H

It isn't any trouble just to HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!



I went fishing at the lake
With worms and pole and pail,
To catch a fish for supper,
But instead I caught a whale.
I climbed upon his slippery back,
And took myself a ride,
But he swam so fast I slipped right off,
And landed right inside.

Glory, glory hallelujah,
That's a tall tale I told to ya,
Shakes and shivers running through ya,
(Spoken) Here comes another one, worse than the other one.

An astronaut invited me
To take a ride in space.
We blasted off one morning,
For a most unusual place.
We landed on a planet,
After many weeks of flight;
We saw three-headed elephants,
A most unusual sight.

Glory, glory hallelujah
That's a tall tale I told to ya.
Do you believe that it is true, ya?
(Spoken) Well it's not!

I dug a hole to plant a tree
One warm and sunny day.
I dug so deep I couldn't get out
To run and jump and play.
I thought to keep on digging
Was the best thing I could do.
So I made a hole clean through the earth,
And then I fell right through.

Glory, glory hallelujah
That's the last tale I'll tell to ya,
Aren't you glad that I am through, ya?
(Spoken) Thank goodness!!
