Part of the union lyrics

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 factories' fall.

Chorus 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

This what I say.

Chorus 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

Though I'm not too hard

The sight of my card

Makes me some kind of superman.

Chorus 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.

Lyrics to What did you learn in school today

 

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine ?

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

1 I learned that Washington never told a lie,

I learned that soldiers seldom die,

I learned that everybody`s free,

and that`s what the teacher said to me.

That`s what I learned in school today, that`s what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine ?

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

 

2. I learned that policemen are my friends,

I learned that justice never ends,

I learned that murderers die for their crimes,

even if we make a mistake sometimes.

 

That`s what I learned in school today, that`s what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine ?

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

3. I learned that government must be strong,

it`s always right and never wrong,

our leaders are the finest men,

and we elect them again and again and again and again.

That`s what I learned in school today, that`s what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine ?

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

4. I learned that war is not so bad,

I learned about the great ones we have had,

we fought in Germany and in France,

and some day am I to get my chance.

That`s what I learned in school today, that`s what I learned in school.

(Pete Seeger)
