This is quite possibly the best party song. Everyone loves it.
The Old Black Rum
I drank Gsixteen doubles for the Dprice of Gone
CTrying to find the courage to Dtalk to one
I asked her Cfor a Gdance, not a Csecond Gglance
My night had just Dbegun
Well I drink to the Father or the Holy Ghost
I'm kneeling at the altar of my nightly post
So I'll raise the glass, not the first or last
Come join me in this toast
Chorus
Because the Dold black rum's got a Ghold of me
Like a Cdog wrapped round my Dleg
And the Dold black rum's got a Ghold of me
Well I'Cm here for aDnotheEmr dayC, Hey
Well I'm hCere for anoDther dGay
Well the queen of George Street just a walking on by.
Walking on by with some guy who don't care
That she stood in line since half past nine.
And spent three hours on her hair....on her hair
Well her friend is looking at me with an evil grin
I think the bloody racket might soon begin
I must have said something to the George Street queen
and boys I'm joining in
Chorus
So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain
Every day is different but the night are all the same
You never see the sun on the old black rum
But you know I'm gonna do it again
chorus
