Rum & Coca Cola
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rum and Coca-Cola all day long
Calypso and reggae till the morning comes
I get all the girls and I don't tell you no trash
Life ain't a bore if you got some cash

I'm fine all day just feeling cool
Splishing and splashing in my swimming pool
The butler brings my telephone
My friends deliver fifty pounds of cocaine round noon

Rum and Coca-Cola all day long
Calypso and reggae till the morning comes
I get all the girls and I don't tell you no trash
Life ain't a bore if you got some cash

The mafia dudes pop in for lunch
How they earn their bucks, hey, I've got no hunch
The news say another addict died today
Sad world out there – but my account's O.K.

Rum and Coca-Cola all day long
Calypso and reggae till the morning comes
I get all the girls and I don't tell you no trash
Life ain't a bore if you got some cash

Me I like to party on my country estate
The chicks all love me and I'm feeling great

Rum and Coca-Cola all day long
Calypso and reggae till the morning comes
I get all the girls and I don't tell you no trash
Life ain't a bore if you got some cash

Rum and Coca-Cola
Oh rum and Coca-Cola




Yeah, rum and Coca-Cola
Oh rum and Coca-Cola

Overall Meaning

In the song "Rum & Coca Cola" by The Busters, the singer describes his lavish lifestyle, which is filled with rum, Coca Cola, parties and beautiful women. He sings that he spends his days lounging by the pool, enjoying the Caribbean music and his wealth. He receives phone calls from his butler and his friends drop by with cocaine for him. The singer then mentions that even mafia bigwigs come to his place for lunch. The song ends with the singer proudly stating that he loves to party on his country estate and how happy he is with his life.


The song carries a deeper meaning than just a look into a life of privilege. The lyrics can be interpreted as a critique of the lifestyle associated with the excess of drugs, sex, and money. The hedonistic behavior of the singer and his entourage is contrasted with the sad state of the world, where drug addicts die due to their addiction. The song ultimately presents a cynical view of society, where the wealthy get away with anything, while the less fortunate continue to be marginalized.
