“I’ll write you a song
And it won’t be hard to sing
It will be a natural anthem
Familiar
It will seem
It will rally all the workers
On strike for better pay
And its will resound
And boost morale
Throughout the day
I’ll write you a song
And I hope that you won’t mind
Because all the names and places
I have taken from real life
So please don’t be upset
At this portrait that I paint
It may be a little biased
But at least I spelled your name right… “
