I dreamed of owning a great big house with servants by the score
Chandeliers in every room, soft carpets on each floor
Great art from all the masters would adorn each wall
And a throne for me to sit upon, enjoy it all
But I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum (hey!)
It seemed a better choice for me
One that suited me perfectly (ho!)
So, I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum
I plan to buy a great big ship and travel across the sea
I'd go from port to port all year as happy as could be
She would have four great big masts with gold embellished sails
And I would watch the Sun go down from me polished wooden rails
But I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum (hey!)
It seemed a better choice for me
One that suited me perfectly (ho!)
So, I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum
I was gonna find a lovely girl and make that girl me wife
I'd give her a lovely ring, she'd give me a lovely life
She would bear me children and until they were all grown
We would send them off to school so we could be alone
But I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum (hoo!)
It seemed a better choice for me
One that suited me perfectly (ho!)
So, I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum
I thought I'd get a big old cart to haul me stuff around
And everyone would pile in when we would go to town
It wouldn't be too fancy but it'd work just fine
And in the end at least I'd know the bloody thing was mine!
But I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum (hoo!)
It seemed a better choice for me
One that suited me perfectly (ho!)
So, I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum
I thought I'd get myself a sad old dog for company
And when I'd go a-huntin' he would come along with me
I would build a fire he could curl up at my feet
So I would never be alone, now wouldn't that be sweet?
But I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum (woo-hoo!)
It seemed a better choice for me
One that suited me perfectly (ho!)
So, I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum (yeah!)
It seemed a better choice for me
One that suited me perfectly (ho!)
So, I spent all me money on me rum rum rum
I spent all me money on me rum (hoo!)
