What's Going To Become Of Rum-Dummy?
Sung to the Noel Coward tune
"I Wonder What Happened To Him"

What's going to become of Rum-Dummy?
Is it true that he knew the amount
That he'd need for scrappin' where bad stuff could happen
Should be stated in terms of a count
Of heads, not of feet, which is a deceit
With results so predictably grim?

That incredible gaffe by him and his staff
No doubt is the the reason insurgents still laugh
And means from the start he's been short by a half –
What will have happened to him?
