[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
