Lyrics
Don't push in line!
I see you doin' it all the time
No, Baby, now, don't push in line
Life could be so fine
If you keep your hands in your pockets
Keep your tongue in its socket
Don't act like swine! (pig noises)
Don't you push in line!
There goes Billy pushin' Sammy Jones
There goes Wendy kickin' Susie's bones.
Being downright rude, gettin' awful shovey
Why can't you kids learn a little loving?
The last shall be first and the first shall be last
So quit your stupid pushin' and you'll get there just as fast.
Leave that kid alone. Honey, let him be!
Why can't you kids walk along in peace?
Someday when you're grown you'll think it's really dumb
When you see your kids a-shovin' and acting quarrelsome
That's when you'll remember these simple words of mine
That's when you'll tell 'em (You might even yell 'em)
Don't you push in line!
Chorus....
