CHORUS: AWAY, AWAY WITH RUM BY GUM
        WITH RUM BY GUM, WITH RUM BY GUM
        AWAY, AWAY, WITH RUM BY GUM
        THE SONG OF THE SALVATION ARMY

WE'RE COMING, WE'RE COMING, OUR BRAVE LITTLE BAND.
ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF TEMPERANCE WE NOW TAKE OUR STAND
WE DON'T USE TOBACCO BECAUSE WE DO THINK
THAT PEOPLE WHO USE IT OUR LIKELY TO DRINK

        (CHORUS)
WE NEVER EAT COOKIES BECAUSE THEY HAVE YEAST
AND ONE LITTLE BITE TURNS A MAN TO A BEAST
NOW CAN YOU IMAGINE A SADDER DISGRACE
THAN A MAN IN THE GUTTER WITH CRUMBS ON HIS FACE

        (CHORUS)
WE NEVER EAT FRUIT CAKE BECAUSE IT HAS RUM
AND ONE LITTLE BITE TURNS A MAN TO A BUM
NOW CAN YOU IMAGINE A SORRIER SIGHT
THAN A MAN EATING FRUITCAKE UNTIL HE GETS TIGHT.

        (CHORUS)
