[Spoken word] Ugh... Why's the rum always gone? [Instrumental bridge] [verse] Last night was a party, last night I felt free, And I danced and drank to my liberty. But today I woke up with a pain in my head, And it makes me wish that I was dead. [Pre-chorus] But I don't care about the pain I feel. I'm missing the thing that will make me heal! [Chorus] Why's the rum always gone? I need my drink at the break of dawn. My head is ringing like a bell, And without rum, this hurts like hell. Jack Sparrow's got nothing on me! I drink rum every day on the sea! So tell me this while the sails are drawn Why's the rum always gone? [Instrumental bridge] [Verse] The ship is swaying back and forth And my compass can't point north. I'm no landlubber, I don't get seasick But damn, does rum have such a good kick! [pre-chorus] My liver and head are crying for mercy. But the rum calls to me all across the sea! [Chorus] Why's the rum always gone? I need my drink at the break of dawn. My head is ringing like a bell, And without rum, this hurts like hell. Jack Sparrow's got nothing on me! I drink rum every day on the sea! So tell me this while the sails are drawn Why's the rum always gone? [interlude] A hangover is not a good excuse To give up a life of alcohol abuse! I drink rum like water, through the roof! Now give me that bottle of overproof! [Accordion solo] [Interlude, call and response] Why!? Why!? Why!? Why's the rum always gone!? Why!? Why!? Why!? Why's the rum always gone!? Why!? Why!? Why!? Why's the rum always gone!? [Guitar solo] [Chorus, lower-pitch] Why's the rum always gone? I need my drink at the break of dawn. My head is ringing like a bell, And without rum, this hurts like hell. Jack Sparrow's got nothing on me! I drink rum every day on the sea! So tell me this while the sails are drawn Why's the rum always gone? [Chorus, higher-pitch] Why's the rum always gone? I need my drink at the break of dawn. My head is ringing like a bell, And without rum, this hurts like hell. Jack Sparrow's got nothing on me! I drink rum every day on the sea! So tell me this while the sails are drawn Why's the rum always gone? [Outro, scream] WHY'S THE RUM ALWAYS GONE!? [Song ends]
