There were five or six of them, all sung to the tune of military anthems.
These are what I remember - I believe there was one more
perhaps to the tune of the Coast Guard anthem, but as I didn't know the tune,
I didn't sing or remember it.

Teamsters
On the street, on the road
we won't carry a full load
as the teamsters go rolling along.
Make them pass on the right,
keep your union card in sight
as the teamsters go rolling along.
For it's hi, hi, hey, when we want a raise in pay
we shout out our grievance loud and strong -
yeah, yeah,
and when e're we like, we just call a strike
and the country stops rolling along.

Dentist
Off we go into that wide mouth yonder
looking for molars to fill.
There's a tooth waiting to feel our thunder
at it boys, give it the drill - rat-a-tat-tat.
We dislike cavities left untreated,
teeth look bad full of decay.
When we're in doubt, we pull them out,
oh nothing can stop a dentist today.

Garbage Men
Ash cans away, my boys, ash cans away.
Let's hear you make some noise,
we'll wake them up to-day-ay-ay-ay.
Egg shells and coffee grounds,
grease from the pan
can't make ear-splitting noise
so dump that garbage, dump that garbage can.
Ash cans away, my boys, ash cans away.
Let's hear you make some noise,
we'll wake them up to-day-ay-ay-ay.
Egg shells and coffee grounds,
grease from the pan
can't make ear-splitting noise
so dump that garbage, dump that garbage can.
Car Salesmen
From the gaudy grills of Cadillac
to the fins of Chevrolet,
we will push GM's new mo-o-dels
and make obsolescence pay.
So to heck with Ford and Chrysler, boys,
and to sports cars from afar,
we won't stop til every family
owns a brand new GM car.

Over There
In his hair, in his hair
sprinkle goo, spill shampoo in his hair.
Give that man a crew cut, or try a new cut
but make sure you cut off his hair.
In your chair, in your chair
give your views while he stews in your chair. . .
cause he can't get up, til you're finished with his hair.

cause he can't get up, til you're finished with his hair.
Been looking for the last one (if there is one) for years,
so glad to provide these for anyone nutso enough to want them.
