And creatin' skies of gray
Satan lies a-waitin'
Sing Hallelujah
Satan lies a-waitin'
Hup one two!
Gets you through the darkest day

Helps to shoo the clouds away

And you'll shoo the blues away

In that sunny land of milk and honey
Helps to shoo the clouds away
But Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Light and free Jubilee days
I had no complaints while I thought of saints
When cares pursue ya, Hallelujah!
Up at dawn and hit the deck
Here this! Here that!
Cares pursue ya, Hallelujah!
They'll give 'ya the boot if 'ya don't salute
Tonight the admiral's comin' to check
I recall in Times when I was small in
And creatin' skies of gray
Put out your chest and straighten your neck

But Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah

But Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah Hallelujah!
Helps to shoo the clouds away
Shine your shoes and square your hat

Satan lies a-waitin'
So I say to all who fearful are
Gotta be clean without a speck

And creatin' skies of gray

Gets you through the darkest day
