No-one came to criticize, no-one to complain, |
|
just to pass a little bit of time, play some human games. |
|
Some were smoking 'roll your owns', while others they had none, |
|
ev'rybody was holding hands, and singing this little song. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
|
Then when things were happening, around about ten to four, |
|
there was a screeching of brakes, dogs barking outside, and a hammering on the door. |
|
Then the voice of officialdom, saying 'Open in the name of the law', |
|
but we just kept on holding hands, and singing this song some more. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
|
Then they broke down all the doors, and kicked the windows in, |
|
they let their doggies off the leads, and they ransacked everything. |
|
They stood us all against the wall, their faces split with grins, |
|
and then they linked each others' handcuffs and they merrily began to sing. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
|
They took us to see the County Judge, with a wig-hat on his head, |
|
he heard our case with a smile on his face, and this is what he said: |
|
I'll have to send you all to jail, for doing this terrible thing. |
|
And as I walked down to the cells, I swear I heard him sing. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
|
We can swing together, 'cause we feel we're doing it right. |
|
We can swing together, we can swing all through the night. |
