The least taste of which turns a man to a beast.
Oh can you imagine the dreadful disgrace
Of a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face?
We never eat fruitcake because it has rum,
The least bit of which turns a man to a bum.
Oh can you imagine the terrible sight
Of a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight.
(Refrain)
We must get rid of rum by gum
Rum by gum
Rum by gum
We must get rid of rum by gum
Rum by gum
Rum
