Chad Mitchell Trio - Rum By Gum Lyrics
 Complimentary "Rum By Gum" Ringtone 
Rum, By Gum
Chad Mitchell Trio
Album: "Might Day On Campus"
Spoken:
Well, they found him by the gutter,
so they called it sewer-side.
Refrain:
C G7 C
Away, away with rum, by gum, rum, by gum, rum, by gum.
C G7 C
Away, away with rum, by gum, the song of the Temperance Union.
(1st verse:)
["52" means 5th string, 2nd fret. "50" = 5th string, open]
C G7 50 52 C
We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band.
G7 50 52 C
On the right side of temperance we do take our stand.
G7 C G7 G
We don't use tobacco because we do think...
C+G C G7 C
That the people who use it are likely to drink.
[C+G = x32013]
(Refrain)
We never eat cookies because they have yeast.
And one little bite turns a man to a beast.
Can you imagine a sadder disgrace...
Then of a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face.
(Refrain)
[Background, high harmony: Away, away with rum, by gum.]
We never eat fruitcake because it has rum.
And one little bite turns a man to a bum.
[Background harmony: Oh, oh, oh, no]
Can you imagine a sorrier sight...
Than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight.
[2 singers harmonizing, ad-libbing:
[1] He gets tight. [2] He gets tight.
Man eating fruitcake.
Fru-u-u-u-u-uit cake.
[Etc,, ending together with:]
Fruitcake gets tight. [pause]
[Broadly:] We wish you a merry fruitcake!
[Pause, with incredulous look from 3rd singer.]
(Repeat first verse)
(Refrain)
