Part Of The Union
Strawbs

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

Til the day I die

Til 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

Til the day I die

Til 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, 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

Til the day I die

Til 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

Til the day I die

Til the day I die
