All You Fonies

Come all ye friends and workers I'll tell a tale to you Of how we built the union You call the NMU We fought the goons and gun-thugs Around the ocean shores I guess I got my head caved in A dozen times a more All you fonies (bound to lose) All you fonies (bound to lose) All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose You had a bony setup You called the SIU We had a ratty ship and a crummy bunk With roaches in our stew We fought against the weather And the stooges too To win a clean bunk and mess hall For newly comes like you All you fonies (bound to lose) All you fonies (bound to lose) All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose For me to try to change this whole big mess around by myself I wouldn't last longer than a snowball in hell But there's a hundred thousand of me now And we fought like hell to get here So you fight like hell to keep what we shed blood to earn For eight hours a day and overtime pay We battled it out with you big shot men We've seen times that looked pretty dark Until we brought the union in All you fonies (bound to lose) All you fonies (bound to lose) All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose All you fonies (bound to lose) All you fonies (bound to lose) All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose (yeah!)
