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.

"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)
