Words and Music by Frank Loesser

Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!
Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
And we'll all stay free!
Praise the Lord, and swing into position,
Can't afford to be a politician
Praise the Lord, we're all between perdition
and the deep blue sea!"

Yes, the sky pilot said it,
You've got to give him credit,
for a son-of-a-gun of a gunner was he, shouting:
Praise the Lord, we're on a mighty mission!
All aboard! We ain't a-goin' fishin'.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,
And we'll all stay free!
