Swing low, sweet chariot
coming for to carry me home...

old spiritual, but I always remember it as the old dog singing it on Lady and the Tramp

Swing low sweet chariot
coming for to carry me home,
Swing low sweet chariot
coming for to carry me home.

It don't mean a thing
if it ain't got that swing.

hey battter, batter swing
I've got to just do my thing..."

Would you like to
swing on a star,
carry moonbeams home
in a jar?

-Bing Crosby

Swing on the garden gate,
Swing on the garden gate,
Swing on the garden gate,
Gentle-ly my darling...

(A kids' song my mom sang when I was little that I've never heard elsewhere. Somewhere in there grandpa sleeps in the piggies' pen...)

Hang on the bell, Nellie
Hang on the bell
Your poor father's locked in the old prison cell
As you swing to the left
And you swing to the right
Remember that curfew must never ring tonight

(an old music-hall-style song)

And the music's callin'
And we've got to get down to
Swing town

Would you like to swing on a star,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
And be better off than you are,
Or would you rather be a mule.

From a Little Dot cartoon that I got in a bin full of dollar cartoons.

I can also recall Hawkeye Pierce singing it on MASH

See, I need to read the previous comments more carefully. Sigh...
