Union Songs
Lets Hear It For The Multi-Nationals
A song by Marty Moles & Mick Topp©Marty Moles & Mick Topp 1979
Let's hear it for the multi-nationals.
Let's be honest. Let's be rational.
Without investments, what would we do.
Let's give credit where credit's due.
Let's hear it for capital movement.
Balance sheets showing a constant improvement.
When profits fall economies ail.
Read about it in the 'Courier-Mail'.Chorus:
Ooh - Why fight it.
The dealer's sitting pat.
Good government could right it.
But who's the blame for that.Let's hear it for big party donations.
Reduced coal levies. Anti-strike legislation.
Subsidised freight rates are bound to entice
Foreign investors to this paradise.
So let's hear it for the multi-nationals,
The deals they make are all uni-lateral.
Let's hear it before it gets too late
And the sun's all that's left of the Sunshine State.
