Now I'm a union man Amazed at what I am I say what I think, that the company stinks Yes I'm a union man
When we meet in the local hall I'll be voting with them all With a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!" And the rise of the factory's fall
Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die, until the day I die
As a union man I'm wise To the lies of the company spies And I don't get fooled by the factory rules 'Cause I always read between the lines
And I always get my way If I strike for higher pay When I show my card to the Scotland Yard And this is what I say
Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die, until the day I die
Before the union did appear My life was half as clear Now I've got the power to the working hour And every other day of the year
So though I'm a working man I can ruin the government's plan And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card Makes me some kind of superman
Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die, until the day I die
You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die, until the day I die
