lyrics

The price of gas went up
And so did the rent
Boss just cut your wages
And the money is all spent
You can hang your head and cry
Go out and pitch a tent
Or you can join that one big union by and by

The hours are long
Your patience is not
Its summertime in Burgerville
And the kitchen is hot
You're going wall to wall
Whether the boss is ready or not
And you'll win your one big union by and by

That's the last straw
No more working today
Till we get better conditions
Shorter hours, higher pay
And we're not backing down
No matter what they do or say
They cant stop that one big union by and by

Fellow workers I contend
We're friends until the end
And we'll fight on together till we know that we can win
No more wages, no more bosses
More play time and rest
In that one big union by and by

Fellow workers I confess
This can all feel like a test
Sometimes I get so down
I wanna quit
But my fellow workers get it
They pick me up and they get me back in it
That one big union by and by
