Take a little sugar, won't you mix it up fine?
 Take a little butter, take a little butter
 & some boiling water, won't you mix it up fine?
 Take Jamaican rum now, that Jamaican rum now
 Take Jamaican rum now, don't it make you feel fine?

 (instrumental)

 Take a little drink now, just a little drink now
 That Jamaican rum now, don't it mix you up fine?
 Take a little sugar, take a little butter
 Take Jamaican rum now, won't you mix it up fine?
 Take a little drink now, just a little drink now
 That Jamaican rum now, don't it make you feel fine
