HE:
I've decided the only way I can woo
Is to take a hint from the AFFL and The CIO
SHE:
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
HE:
Then it's not too late to negotiate
SHE:
Oh, well, we'll see
BOTH:
Perhaps we can agree
HE:
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
SHE:
When we have joined up perhaps there'll be
A new recruit or two or three
For that's what team work can do
BOTH:
In one big union for two
SHE:
We won't have sit-downs inside our gate
We'll never need to arbitrate
In one big union for two
HE:
We will have no lock-outs to make us frown
No stabbing when I'm out of town
In one big union for two
SHE:
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
BOTH:
Fifty million union members can't be wrong
HE:
When we have signed up and made the grade
We'll let a member-
SHE:
Union made
BOTH:
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
