[net.music] Rum and Coca-Cola

Hi there net.people,

Last night I saw a movie called "Raggedy Man".  The movie was so so
but I did hear a song by the Lennon Sisters called "Rum and Coca-Cola."


Would someone have all the words to that song ?

Thanks,

Dave Wargo

I recall is by the Andrews Sisters.  I wouldn't doubt that both
groups recorded it.

Are you sure that it wasn't the McGuire Sisters?

Actually, this song was the subject of quite a large law suit.  It is
a plagerization of "L'Annee Passe."  The defendants included Morey
Amsterdam.  I remember reading it in a book by Louis Nizer that I still
have somewhere.  I'll check to see if it mentions who the performers
were.

Anybody check PhonoLog yet?
