"Don't You Hear Jerusalem Moan" is an old gospel/novelty song which manages to poke fun at several of the major religions. As if the words weren't enough to make this song outrageous, the chorus has a few extra beats added for good measure. Performances typically have floating lyrics but they all share a similar chorus.
[Chorus (after each verse)]
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Don't you hear Jerusalem moan
Thank God there's a heaven and a ringin' in my soul and my soul's set free
