HALLELUJAH, I'M A BUM (AGAIN)
From the film "Hallelujah, I'm A Bum" (1933)
(Music: Richard Rodgers / Lyrics: Lorenz Hart)

Al Jolson (Film Soundtrack) - 1933



The weather's getting fine
The coffee tastes like wine
You happy hobo, sing
Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!

Why work away for wealth
When you can travel for your health
It' s spring, you hobo, sing
Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!

Your home is always near
The moon's your chandelier
Your ceiling is the sky
Way up high

The road is your estate
The world your little dinner plate
It's spring, you hobo, sing
Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!

Rockefeller's busy givin' dough away
Chevrolet is busy makin' cars
Hobo, you keep busy when they throw away
Slightly used cigars
Hobo, you've no time to shirk
You're busy keeping far away from work

The weather' s getting fine
The coffee tastes like wine
You happy hobo, sing
Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!

Why work away for wealth
When you can travel for your health
It' s spring, you hobo, sing
Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!

Your home is always near
The moon's your chandelier
Your ceiling is the sky
Way up high

The road is your estate
The world your little dinner plate
You happy hobo, sing
Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!
