Hey, hey, ho,
ho.Hey, hey, ho, ho.
Union power is on the go!
I don't know but I've been told,
The bosses pockets are lined with gold.
Lies and tricks will not divide.
Workers standing side by side.
We are the union.
Mighty, might union.
Everywhere we go.
People want to know.
Who we are - so we tell them.
We're fired up, we won't take it no more. (Repeat)
Union Power is on the rise
Now's the time to organize
No more bosses, tricks & lies,
Union Power is on the rise
Now's the time to organize
Give our children better lives,
Union Power is on the rise
Now's the time to organize
Tell the gals and tell the guys,
Union Power is on the rise
Now's the time to organize.
Organize, Organize, Organize.
The workers, united.
Shall never be defeated.
The workers, united
Shall never be defeated.
