Children's chant

[Dave Hause]

Central Illinois, mid 50s

(to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic)


Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He was coming round the corner in a 1918 Ford.
He had one hand on the throttle and the other on a bottle
Of Pabst Blue Ribbon

Glory Glory what's it to ya
Teacher hit me with a ruler
I hit her in the bean with a rotten tangerine
As we go marching on
