Well we're coming, we're coming our brave little band
On the right side of temprance we now take our stand
We don't smoke tobacco because we all think
That the people who use it are libel to drink

So away, away with rum by gum,
With rum by gum, with rum by gum
Away, away with rum by gum
That's the song of the Salvation Army

Now we never eat fruitcake because it has rum
One little bite puts a man on the bum
Can you imagine a more terrible sight
Than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight

Away, away with rum by gum,
With rum by gum, with rum by gum
Away, away with rum by gum
That's the song of the Salvation Army

Now we never eat biscuits because they have yeast
One little bite makes a man like a beast
Can you imagine a more terrible disgrace
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face

Away, away with rum by gum,
With rum by gum, with rum by gum
Away, away with rum by gum
That's the song of the Salvation Army.
