Where Hath th' Rum Gone? Lyrics


A good breakfast is by far the best way

to start another pillage and-a plunder day

There's perhaps best breakfast than liquor?

And there is maybe best liquor than rum?

So I head to the hold with a satisfied smile

Biding farewell to sobriety

But I'll be damned if some infamous rogue

did not steal all the cans

CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone

Take out the loot right now

CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone

Bring it all back

CHOIR: I wanna drink now

I need to drink right now

CHOIR: Where hath th hard stuff gone?

24 barrels of Puerto Rican

Dried up until the last drop

Bring me the culprit, bring 'im before me

That blasted wretch's gonna feed the fish

Investigate the ship

Interrogate the crew

They all seem dry like me

May this be a curse by the gods of the sea?

CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone

Take out the loot right now

CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone

Bring it all back

CHOIR: I wanna drink now

I need to drink right now

CHOIR: Where hath th hard stuff gone?

24 barrels of Puerto Rican

Dried up until the last drop

Bring me the culprit, bring 'im before me

That blasted wretch's gonna feed the fish

A good breakfast is by far the best way

to start another pillage and-a plunder day

But today the day started so damn bad

An' can only go worse if we don't find

all the cans

In the end it turned out that the captain wuz to blame

The paunchy motherfucker drank an' boozed like a whale

so I had to go back workin' sober an' polite

with no bottle in me hand for the first time

in me life

CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone

Take out the loot right now

CHOIR: Where hath th rum gone

Bring it all back

CHOIR: I wanna drink now

I need to drink right now

CHOIR: Where hath th hard stuff gone?

24 barrels of Puerto Rican

Dried up until the last drop

Bring me the culprit, bring 'im before me

That blasted wretch's gonna feed the fish
