(Refrain)
We never eat cookies because they have yeast.
And one little bite turns a man to a beast.
Can you imagine a sadder disgrace...
Then of a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face.
(Refrain)
[Background, high harmony: Away, away with rum, by gum.]
We never eat fruitcake because it has rum.
And one little bite turns a man to a bum.
[Background harmony: Oh, oh, oh, no]
Can you imagine a sorrier sight...
Than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight.
[2 singers harmonizing, ad-libbing:
[1] He gets tight. [2] He gets tight.
Man eating fruitcake.
Fru-u-u-u-u-uit cake.
[Etc,, ending together with:]
Fruitcake gets tight. [pause]
[Broadly:] We wish you a merry fruitcake!
[Pause, with incredulous look from 3rd singer.]
(Repeat first verse)
