Thread Name: Salvation Army comic song
Subject: RE: Salvation Army comic song
Eric Winter used to sing a song called "Away With Rum", which started with a verse similar to Tug's song of 22 May above, but which had a chorus ~

Away away with rum, by gum
With rum, by gum,
With rum, by gum.
Away away with rum, by gum ~
The song of the Salvarion Army.

One verse I always particularly liked was

We never eat fruitcake for fruitcake has rum
And rum is the stuff to send you on the bum.
I can't think of anything such a disgrace
As a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face.
