The Bosses Darling

1

Now come along down to the factory

The production line is turning

If you work all day for the minimum pay

God knows what you’ll be earning

Get stuck in when you arrive

To keep your family alive

At the end of the week you’ll just survive

To be the bosses darling.

 

2

Your patience and dexterity

He’s endlessly adoring

He says youre suited to the job

Which means the job is boring

You think you’re earning equal pay

But he has found a million ways

To keep you at the bottom of the heap OK

Cause you’re the bosses darling.

The boss he loves you well, you bet

He knows that you’ll be loyal

You’re a breeding ground for the working man

and a resting place from toil

You have no time for the union

You leave that kind of thing to men

You’re a second-class worker and a mother hen

That’s why you’re the bosses darling.

Well, come along down to the factory

We’ll keep you on your toeses

There’s lots of unemployment now

So don’t look down your noses

There’s shift work here and shift work there

What you do with your family’s your affair,

Cause if you don’t like it, there’s plenty more

To be the bosses darling.
