Union Songs
Amazing Boss
A Song by Bill Crum©Bill Crum 1984
Tune: "Amazing Grace"Amazing Boss who hired me
And told me what to do,
I've made (done) more crap than he (I) can (t)sell,
Now I must bid adieu.\Now Boss has said that all good things
Exist for us somewhere.
We'd loudly sing our thanks to Boss,
If we could breathe the air.Now Boss he's sure a piece of work
But he's nobody's clown.
He'll fire me and hire you
Just to keep our wages down.The time has come to organize
A Union of our class,
And teach that turkey honest toil.
It'll knock him on his ass.Amazing Boss who hired me
Has learned a thing or two,
Now I'm an organized union man
I tell him what to do.
