Away With Rum
|
Album: Silly Songs
|
Traditional
|
We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band
On the right side of temp'rance we now take our stand.
We don't use tobacco, because we do think
That the people who use it are liable to drink
Chorus:
Away, away, with rum, by gum,
Rum by gum, rum by gum
Away, away, with rum, by gum,
The song of the Temperance Union.
We never eat cookies because they have yeast,
And one little bite turns a man to a beast.
Oh, can you imagine the utter disgrace
Of a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face?
We never eat fruitcake because it has rum,
And one little slice puts a man on the bum.
Oh, can you imagine the sorrier sight
Of a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight?
We never drink tea -- but they mix it with wine,
And one little drink turns a man to a swine.
Oh, can you imagine a sorrier sight
Than a man drinking tea and then singing all night?
