| Lyrics: | UNION MAID (2)
(Dick Greenhaus, ca 1950)
There once was a union maid, who never was
afraid
To join in song with a noisy throng
Who'd pick their banjos all night
long
They'd try with all their might to steer the workers right
They'd organize, ad
nauseum, whoever came in sight.
They'd sing...
cho: You'll never get me in a
union. We just love unions,
There's nothin' like a union.
But you will never get
me in a union, 'cause
To join a union, you have to work.
This dedicated gang
could always get a bang
From following the Party line
And calling bosses, "Fascist
swine!"
They'll holler all night long,
"Let's keep the union strong!"
As long as
Daddy's dough holds out, you'll always hear them shout:
Now, gals who want to be free,
just take a tip from me
Get you a banjo, learn two chords
Then go insult the
bourgeoisie
Praise unions to the skies
Sneer at all bosses' lies
And then at parties,
dances too, you scab on 802*
note: Local 802, American Federation of Musicians, was the
union that once
picketed the New York May Day parade for using non-union musicians.
