Sit Down

anonyme


Text anonymous (≤1981). Tune : « ? ».


1
When they tie a can to a union man
Sit down ! Sit down !
When they give ’im the sack they’ll take him back
Sit down ! Sit down !
 
(Chorus)
Sit down, just take a seat,
Sit down ! Sit down !
Sit down and rest your feet. Sit down you’ve got ‘em beat.
Sit down ! Sit down !
 
2
When they smile and say, no raise in pay
Sit down ! Sit down !
When you want the boss to come across
Sit down ! Sit down !
 
(Chorus)
 
3
When the speed-up comes, just twiddle your thumbs
Sit down ! Sit down !
When you want ’em to know they’d better go slow
Sit down ! Sit down !
 
(Chorus)
 
4
When the boss won’t talk, don’t take a walk
Sit down ! Sit down !
When the boss sees that, he’ll want a little chat
Sit down ! Sit down !
 
(Chorus)
