[Louisianans:]
|
Somebody handed us a ticket to picket
|
They want pickets so here we are
|
|
[Loganberry:] Pickets?
|
|
[Louisianans:] Yes, pickets!
|
|
[Madame Bordelaise:] It's a trick, a trick!
|
|
[Jim:]
|
You know that it's a fact
|
That since the Wagner Act
|
The head of labor says
|
That a candidate for prez
|
Mustn't cross a picket line
|
|
[Louisianans:] Mustn't cross a picket line
|
|
[Marina:]
|
With labor you'll be through
|
They will never vote for you
|
If you cross a picket line
|
|
[Louisianans:]
|
If you cross a picket line
|
Yes, a candidate for president must never cross a picket line
|
|
[Madame Bordelaise:]
|
Don't listen to the pickets, Ollie, dear
|
Let's go inside, it means your whole career
|
|
[Loganberry:]
|
A candidate can leave his party flat
|
And wind up on the opposition ticket
|
He can double-cross his other brother rat
|
But he mustn't hurt the feelings of a picket
|
|
[Louisianans:]
|
No, he mustn't hurt the feelings of a picket
|
Louisiana purchase, I told you what it means
|
So won't you let me sell you New Orleans
|
Come on, come on
|
And you all can go to town way down in New Orleans
