Lyrics

[00:06.38] Now I'm a union man
[00:09.07] Amazed at what I am
[00:11.75] I say what I think
[00:13.53] That the company stinks
[00:15.34] Yes I'm a union man.
[00:18.00] When we meet in the local hall
[00:20.78] I'll be voting with them all
[00:24.34] With a hell of a shout
[00:25.29] It's out brothers out
[00:27.03] And the rise of the factory's fall.
[00:29.78] Oh you don't get me I'm part of the union
[00:33.31] You don't get me I'm part of the union
[00:37.06] You don't get me I'm part of the union
[00:39.75] Till the day I die, till the day I die.
[00:50.56] As a union man I'm wise
[00:53.22] To the lies of the company spies
[00:56.85] And I don't get fooled
[00:57.73] By the factory rules
[00:59.52] 'Cause I always read between the lines.
[01:03.14] And I always get my way
[01:05.90] If I strike for higher pay
[01:08.50] When I show my card
[01:10.41] To the Scotland Yard
[01:12.22] This what I say.
[01:16.73] Oh you don't get me I'm part of the union
[01:20.39] You don't get me I'm part of the union
[01:23.08] You don't get me I'm part of the union
[01:26.67] Till the day I die, till the day I die.
[01:50.15] Before the union did appear
[01:53.70] My life was half as clear
[01:56.43] Now I've got the power
[01:58.24] To the working hour
[01:59.16] And every other day of the year.
[02:02.79] So though I'm a working man
[02:05.58] I can ruin the government's plan
[02:09.10] Though I'm not too hard
[02:10.09] The sight of my card
[02:11.86] Makes me some kind of superman.
[02:19.04] Oh you don't get me I'm part of the union
[02:21.79] You don't get me I'm part of the union
[02:25.39] You don't get me I'm part of the union
[02:28.03] Till the day I die, till the day I die.
[02:50.60]
