I still remember brief snips of the way we used to sing "The Battle Hymn..." when I was a kid.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of a great big long vacation
It shall help to make the boys and girls the leaders of our nation
We'll perform an operation on the Board of Education...

I forgot the last line, and I'm sure it deserved forgetting.

If we'd never sung the song, just think how deprived we'd have been. What would we have parodied then?

I don't worry too much about the religious connotations; they are couched in such archaic language that few if any students would actually notice them. Of course my kids don't sing the song, not being in an American school.
