Thank you, Sir, for the reminder about this song.

HALLELUJAH! I'M A BUM as sung by Al Jolson indeed.

Did you know that the attributed writer of this song was Harry McClintock, who also wrote and sung BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN?

May I say, that I hope your job interviews are successful and then you will be able to sing another tune!
