When The Saints Go Marching In

(album: ...from the "Hungry i" - 1959)

And now in response to a diminishing number of requests
We'd like to bring this number forward
It's a song of socio-economical, political, religious significance
Uh, sorta, yeah, designed to offend as few as possible
It's in line with our recent anti-sin campaign
So, we invite you to join in, those of you who have sinned recently
Or are planning on doing so little later on this evening
(Everybody! Mommy)
Or are doing so secretly now

So if you'd like to help out, the key is maybe E this time
Or, uh, if you're more manually oriented
Perhaps some clapping in 4/4 time would be a boon
Because we play anywhere from 2/4 to 7/5
And it's gets pretty Raggedy Andy up here
Or a third alternative is, you wanna help, you know
But you can't because you're with somebody cool tonight
You know, tonight's the night, I think
So, the thing to do is suck on ice cubes in 4/4 time and, uh
This satisfies, you know, inner needs as well a sociological needs

You know
Yeah
Frightening
So, uh, shall we go right on into it?

(Oh yeah)

Hey, we are following the footsteps (Ev'rybody)
Of those who've gone before
And we'll all be reunited (Hallelujah)
On that new and sunlit shore (Ready)

Oh, when the saints (Go marching in)
Go, marching in (Well, when the saints)
Oh, when the saints go marching in (Louder)
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Well, when the sun (Oh, when the sun)
Begins to shine (Begins to shine)
Well, when the sun begins to shine
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number
When the sun begins to shine

And when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds that call

Some say this world of trouble
Is the only world we need
But I'm waiting for that morning (Get ready)
Oh, when the new world is revealed (Yes)

Oh, when the new world is revealed
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number
When the new world is revealed (Hit it)

Yes, when the saints go marching in (Go marching in)
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
