Homer sings while Lisa plays.

When the Saints Go Over There is a song ad-libbed by Homer to a certain famous folk tune Lisa played on her saxophone.

Lyrics[]

Lisa was playing an unnamed blues song; Homer was crying (presumably due to facing his forthcoming death). Lisa changes the tune to When the Saints Come Marching In

Homer:

{speaking} Huh? Yeah! That's more like it! Oh-ho! Whoo!

{singing} Oh, I want to be in that rhumba,

When the saints go over there.

Oh, over there! Oh, over there...

Trivia[]

The song is Homer's misinterpretation of "When the Saints Go Marching In". He may have also conflated it with "Over There", a popular marching song of the First World War. The lyrics were written by Nell Scovell.
