let the glory of the lord We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band On the right side of temperance we do take our stand We don't use tobacco, because we do think The people who use it are likely to drink 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 never eat cookies because they have yeast And one little bite turns a man to a beast Oh, can you imagine a sadder 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, the song of the Salvation Army We don't allow backrubs, we think they're a crime We will always condemn them in song or in rhyme An alcohol backrubs is worse than straight gin: When you think of the liquor absorbed thru your skin! Away, away with rum ,woke up brothers and sisters , woke up and repents Away, away with rum by gum, the song of the Salvation Army We never eat fruit cake because it has rum And one little taste turns a man to a bum Oh, can you imagine a sorrier sight Than a man eating fruit cake until he gets tight 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
