All You Fonies

[Verse 1]

Come all you friends and workers, a tale I'll tell to you

Of how we built our 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 or more

[Chorus]

All you fonies bound to lose

All you fonies bound to lose

All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose

[Verse 2]

You had a fony set up 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 likе you

[Chorus]

All you fonies bound to lose

All you fonies bound to losе

All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose

All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

All you fonies bound to lose, lose, lose

All you fonies, you're bound to lose, lose, lose
