Drink a rum and a punch a crema, drink a rum
Drink a rum and a punch a crema, drink a rum

Later in the evening, we passing through Picadilly
Everybody dancing and singing the same melody...

You're so full of knowledge, I thought I'd ask. Would you happen to have the music (not lyrics) for Lord Kitchener's Drink Ah Rum?

Thanks

Hey thanks for the lyrics. I can't seem to find chords or tabs for this song anywhere. Any suggestions on where I might obtain them?
