It's Better With A Union Man Lyrics

Oh listen to the story we sing you
Of everything that came to pass,
To Bertha, the sewing machine girl
A winsome and class conscious lass.

As sweet as the flower is in Springtime
She worked at the men's pants machine,
Her sweetheart close by at another
While union love blossomed serene.

One day little Bertha was sewing
Not knowing that danger was near,
Our villain aspired her
And paused there beside her,
An un-union man with a lip.

Oh it's better with a union man,
It's better with a union man,
You'll live to regret if you ever forget
This motto proletarian.

So always be upon your guard,
Demand to see a union card,
You'll never go wrong
If you follow this plan,
It's better with a union man.

Poor sweet innocent little Bertha,
She did not suspect that this guy
Contrary to all union by-laws
Had six other wives on the sly.

While Bertha was sewing her wild oats
Midst black caviar and champagne,
Her true union lover was waiting
At local sixteen all in vain.

Alas she forgot all the pre-sets
That for working girls are correct,
That nine union cad,
He was thoroughly bad,
He did just what you all would expect.

Oh it's better with a union man,
It's better with a union man,
You'll live to regret if you ever forget
This motto proletarian.

So always be upon your guard,
Demand to see a union card,
You'll never go wrong
If you follow this plan,
It's better with a union man.
