Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum

Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum

Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum

From molasses black and thick as tar
Muscovado sugar in a rusty jar
Stored for years in a powder keg
Stirred around with a wooden leg

Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum

From the rotten stalks of sugar canes
Mixed with dirt and roasted grains
Cut with water thick of weed
Twice times sieved through a moldy reed

Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum

Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum

Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum

I beg your attention
So now, quiet if you please
I'd like to propose a toast
To the Queen that last in Hell

From molasses black and thick as tar
Muscovado sugar in a rusty jar
Stored for years in a powder keg
Stirred around with a wooden leg

Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum

Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
Hey ri do rum dum, hey ri do more rum
I never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum

Oh we've never had a spirit
No we've never had a spirit
No we've never had a spirit like a Cooper's rum
