Away With Rum (Bikel Theo)
      A                         E            A
We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band.
       A                           E            A
On the right side of temperance we now take our stand.
   E           A       E           A
We don't use tobacco because we do think,
         A                      E         A
That the people who use it are likely to drink.

Away, away, with rum, by gum,
     E                 A
With rum, by gum, with rum, by gum,
 A
Away, away, with rum, by gum,
    E                     A
The song of the Salvation Army.

   A                   E               A
We never eat cookies because they have yeast,
    A                      E          A
And one little bit makes a man like a beast.
    E        A        E         A
Oh, can you imagine a sadder disgrace,
       A                      E             A
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face?




    A                     E            A
We never eat fruitcake because it has rum,
    A                       E          A
And one little slice puts a man on the bum.
    E        A        E       A
Oh, can you imagine a sorrier sight,
       A                      E           A
Than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight?
