We Want 4
We are going to get you
3 times minimum wage.
We want more.
We want 4.
We want more.
We want 4.
Okay. Okay.
Pay your dues
And we will work on it
For you.
Did you get the notion
We are just common folks?
We are high strung;
Let it be told,
We are well deserving
Privileged better thans.
The poor boys and girls
Are down the road.
We want special cars
And trucks too.
We want a lot
For our union dues.
It's a hard job
Teaching school.
Would you like to buy a shovel
And dig a ditch?
Hey, you switched the subject.
Out in the weather
Is someone else 's job.
It's bad enough
Just having to grab hold
And twist a cold door knob.
