one big union for two

i've decided the only way i can woo

is to take a hint from the affl and the cio

now you're talking

perhaps i might listen to you

i don't say that i'll yes

but don't say i'll say no

then it's not too late to negotiate

oh

well

we'll see

perhaps we can agree

i'm on a campaign to make you mine

i'll picket you until you sign

in one big union for two

no courts and junction can make me stop

until your love is all closed shop

in one big union for two

seven days a week i want the right

to call you mine both day and night

the hours may be long

but fifty million union members can't be wrong

when we have joined up perhaps there'll be

a new recruit or two or three

for that's what team work can do

in one big union for two

we won't have sit-downs inside our gate

we'll never need to arbitrate

in one big union for two

we will have no lock-outs to make us frown

no stabbing when i'm out of town

in one big union for two

will you pay your dues

they're very light

a kiss each day

and a kiss each night

our life will be a song

for. fifty million union members can't be wrong

when we have signed up and made the grade

we'll let a member-

union made

who looks like me and like you

in one big union for two

what's to be done with 'em tell me in rhythm

sing me a song with social significance

there's nothing else that will do

it must be tense with common sense

or i won't love you.
