"away I go with fife and drum
here we come, full of rum."
The family was as surprised as I was.
What a cute little rhymne.

Just a little bit of research and I found this:
The North Atlantic Squadron chorus:
" Away, away, with fyfe and drum,
Here we come, full of rum,
Looking for women to pat on the bum
In the North Atlantic Squadron"

I am sure its a variant on some traditional song or t'other.
