3:35Now 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 factories 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 Till the day I die Till 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, 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 Till the day I die Till 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 I'm not too hard, but the sight of my card Makes me some kind of superman 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 Till the day I die Till 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 Till the day I die Till the day I die
