Premiere: Monday, April 25, 1927

Sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah
And you'll shoo the blues away (blues away)
Cares pursue ya
Hallelujah!
Gets you thru the darkest day.

Satan lies a-waitin'
And creatin' skies of grey (skies of grey)
But hallelujah, hallelujah
Helps to shoo the clouds away

I recall in
Times when I was small in
Light and free
Jubilee days
In that sunny
Land of milk and honey
I had no complaints
While I thought of saints
So I say to all who fearful are

Sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah!
And you'll shoo the blues away (Hallelu!)
When cares pursue ya
Hallelujah!
Gets you through the darkest day
Satan lies a-waitin'
And creatin' skies of grey (Skies of grey!)
But Hallelujah, hallelujah
Helps to shoo the clouds away

Up at dawn and hit the deck
Put out your chest and straighten your neck
Gotta be clean without a speck
Tonight the admiral's comin' to check
Here this!
Here that!
Tie your shoes and square your hat
They'll give 'ya the boot if 'ya don't salute
Hup one two!

Satan lies a-waitin'
And creatin' skies of grey (Clouds o' blue!)
But Hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah!)
Helps to shoo the clouds away

Sing hallelu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lujah!
