Non-Alcoholic Beers

Jim Weir wrote in message . ..

We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band
On the right side of Temperance we take our firm stand
We don't use tobacco, because we do think
That the people who use it are likely to drink

Away, away with rum by gum, rum by gum, rum by gum
Away, away with rum by gum, rum by gum, rum by gum
The song of the Temperance Union.

We never eat fruitcake because it has rum
And one little bite turns a man to a bum
Can you imagine the horrible sight
Of a man eating fruitcake until he is tight.

Away, away with rum by gum, rum by gum, rum by gum
Away, away with rum by gum, rum by gum, rum by gum
The song of the Temperance Union.

We never eat cookies because they have yeast
And one little bite turns a man to a beast
Can you imagine the total disgrace
Of a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face.

Away, away with rum by gum, rum by gum, rum by gum
Away, away with rum by gum, rum by gum, rum by gum
The song of the Temperance Union.

We never eat peaches because they ferment
Just one little bite and a man gets quite bent
Can you imagine anything more crude
Than a man eating peaches until he gets stewed?

(I can't remember the rest of the lyrics.)

Two more verses...
