GUEST,E. Goldberg Lyr Req: Swinging on a Star (union parody) (3) Lyr Req: Union version of 'Swing on a Star' 21 Oct 02


Hi all -

I'm looking for lyrics for a union parody of "Swinging on a Star." The chorus goes:

Or would you rather stick on the line
Until we force the bosses to sign
Cause this is your fight brother (sister) and mine
Or would you rather be a ____ (goon, scab, mule, etc.)

I can remember pieces of the verses but not the whole thing. The one about the goon has:

(can't remember this line)
(can't remember this line)
Rides to work on the bosses coat tails
Wears brass knuckles to protect his nails
But if your head is like the hole in a spitoon
Go on ahead and be a goon

The mule verse goes in part:

A mule is an animal with long hairy ears
Runs back with everything he hears
(can't remember the rest)
