The Lyrics
Rum they told me
Was good for my tum
And so I drank all night
Was yummy, yum yum
But now I don't feel right
Feel numby, numb numb
And I just lost the fight
The food in my tum
Decided to run
Over my tongue
So now I think that
Was dummy, dumb dumb
Drinking that rum
Perhaps maybe
I won't have that rum
It seems to affect you
When I'm drinking rum
You start to grow some wings
When I've had me some
A sweet angelic thing
From Heaven you've come
That's where you're from
When I've had some rum
Shall I pour for you
More of my rum
On my tongue
Liver's spotted
From drinking this rum
My talk can't speech like mine
When I'm on the rum
My brain is numb and dim
When toxin'd with rum
I cease my quest for gin
When greeted with rum
Sometimes my gum
Colors the rum
Earned a bile degree
From justing drink rum
Drink justing rum
Drinking just rum
Was good for my tum
And so I drank all night
Was yummy, yum yum
But now I don't feel right
Feel numby, numb numb
And I just lost the fight
The food in my tum
Decided to run
Over my tongue
So now I think that
Was dummy, dumb dumb
Drinking that rum
Perhaps maybe
I won't have that rum
It seems to affect you
When I'm drinking rum
You start to grow some wings
When I've had me some
A sweet angelic thing
From Heaven you've come
That's where you're from
When I've had some rum
Shall I pour for you
More of my rum
On my tongue
Liver's spotted
From drinking this rum
My talk can't speech like mine
When I'm on the rum
My brain is numb and dim
When toxin'd with rum
I cease my quest for gin
When greeted with rum
Sometimes my gum
Colors the rum
Earned a bile degree
From justing drink rum
Drink justing rum
Drinking just rum

Yaarr, I'll keel-haul the scurvy maggot who gave you a 423. No one gives bad marks to rum!

sings itself...funny as hell too...great job on this one
Loved the bottle shape and the dyslexia at the end... D-:
Hey there Captain Morgan, could you share your bottle?
As a devout rum drinker I give you 5 stars. Pure genius.
Thanks Yellowbeard, Ann, Agrimorfee, alvin, Meriadoc, LadyRumCake, and Johnny.
I know someone who's drinking tonight ;) This 'traditional' song is one I am very familiar with, so I could rate this one without going on a hunt for TOS, good job
Thanks BADave. I do tend to write parodies against partially obscure stuff, but that's not entirely a bad thing. :-)
