No-one came to criticise, no-one to complain
Just to pass a little bit of time and play some human games
Some were smoking roll your owns, while others they had none
Everybody was holding hands and singing this little song
We can swing together cos we feel we're doing it right
We can swing together we can swing all through the night
Then when things were happening, roudn about 10 to 4
There was a a screeching of brakes dogs barking outside and a hammering on the door
Then the voice of officialdom said open in hte name of the law
We just kept on holdign hands and singing this song some more
We can swing together cos 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, they kick our windows in
They let their doggies off the leads and they ransacked everything
Stood us all against a wall their faces split with grins
Then they link each other's handcuffs and merilly began to sing
We can swing together cos 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 out to the cells I'll swear I heard him sing
We can swing together cos we feel we're doing it right
We can swing together we can swing all through the night
