But it's "Glory Hallelujah"
When it's thirty-two below
When all your fingers and your toes
Are frozen hard as rocks,
It's anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box.
And now sir. confdentially,
I'll tell you something more:
A rural carrier, way out West,
Forgot himself and swore,
Said he, "Pll stand the snowdriftS,
And I'll stand thelfrozen locks;
Bat blast the measly pennies
In the blasted measly box"
When the roll is called up yonder
And we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let the mail man in
If they knew he'd learned to swear.

When your rural carrier knocks,
Buy stamps aud don't be guilty
