<br>

Sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br>

And you'll shoo the blues away (blues away)<br>

Cares pursue ya<br>

Hallelujah!<br>

Gets you thru the darkest day.<br>

<br>

Satan lies a-waitin'<br>

And creatin' skies of grey (skies of grey)<br>

But hallelujah, hallelujah<br>

Helps to shoo the clouds away<br>

<br>

I recall in<br>

Times when I was small in<br>

Light and free<br>

Jubilee days<br>

In that sunny<br>

Land of milk and honey<br>

I had no complaints<br>

While I thought of saints<br>

So I say to all who fearful are<br>

<br>

Sing Hallelujah<br>

Hallelujah!<br>

And you'll shoo the blues away (Hallelu!)<br>

When cares pursue ya<br>

Hallelujah!<br>

Gets you through the darkest day<br>

Satan lies a-waitin'<br>

And creatin' skies of grey (Skies of grey!)<br>

But Hallelujah, hallelujah <br>

Helps to shoo the clouds away<br>

<br>

Up at dawn and hit the deck<br>

Put out your chest and straighten your neck<br>

Gotta be clean without a speck<br>

Tonight the admiral's comin' to check<br>

Here this!<br>

Here that!<br>

Tie your shoes and square your hat<br>

They'll give 'ya the boot if 'ya don't salute<br>

Hup one two!<br>

<br>

Satan lies a-waitin'<br>

And creatin' skies of grey (Clouds o' blue!)<br>

But Hallelujah, hallelujah<br>

Sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah!)<br>

Helps to shoo the clouds away<br>

<br>

Sing hallelu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lujah!<br>
