We Can Swing Together Lyrics

no one came to criticise, no one to complain.
just to bide a little bitty time, and play some human games.
some were smokin' roll your owns, while others they had none.
everybody was holdin hands, and singing this little song.
we can swing together, 'cause we know we're doin it right,
we can swing together, we can swing all thru the night.

then when things were happening, around about ten to four.
there was screachin of brakes, and smokin outside, and hammerin on the door.
then the voice of officialdom, said open in the name of the law.
we just kept on holdin hands, singing this song some more.
we can swing together cause we know we're doing it right
we can swing together we can swing all thru the night

then they broke down all the doors, and kicked the windows in.
they let the doggies off the leash, and ransacked everything.
they placed us all against the wall, their faces split with grins.
and 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 thru the night

they took us to see the county judge, with a wig hat on his head.
he read our case with a smile on his face, and this is what he said.
I'll have to send you all to jail, for doin this terrible thing.
and as I walked off to the cells, I swear I heard him sing.

we can swing together cause we know we're doin it right
we can swing together we can swing all thru the night.
