Men -- and other drinkers that's feeling blue, Gather round, I got good news for you -- I see the tear drops in your eye I know your throats are dusty dry. You yearn for suds - you miss the pail The glistening bar -- the siningshining [sic] rail. But keep your soul bright -- let nothing dim it-- Neither rum hounds -- nor twelve mile limit The way to do it from day to day Is do your daily dozen with old Coue',

Quart by quart from date to date It's getting better and better Crate by crate in every state It's getting wetter and wetter Still by still and more and more The stuff is coming from every shore A straw vote shows how the wind is blowing Rum must go! And we must keep it going Coue', Coue', Coue' Just say this every day.
