Hallelujah, I'm a Bum [Again] !

watch:  Bum

"Hallelujah, I'm a Bum"; Song [sung] by Al Jolson.  Who re-did the lyrics?  Rodgers and Hart? Apparently. . . . . . . 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 earth your little dinner plate;It's spring, you hobo, sing,"Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!" Rockefeller's busy giving dough away;Chevrolet is busy making 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 earth your little dinner plate;It's spring, you hobo, sing,"Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!"
