Are You Union Made?

A Song by Lita Gillies@Lita Gillies 2007

I was standing on a picket line
A man walked over he was tall and fine
he had the deepest of deep blue eyes
The kind of eyes that mesmerize

Are you union made?
Are you union made?
I really got to know right now
'cos I'm a union maid and I'm very proud

Before I got lost in his baby blues
I looked him over from his head to his shoes
He looked at me and gave me a smile
A smile that could take a girl a million miles

Are you union made?
Are you union made?
I really got to know right now
'cos it's not too late for me to walk away
walk away
Hey Hey

He looked at me and nodded his head
“I'm a union organiser” he said
“And these workers are in distress
I got to help them out I got to do my best”

Are you union made?
Are you union made?
I really got to know right now
'cos I'm union made and I'm very proud

Walked over to the BBQ
Started helping to cook the food
He turned around and stared at me
He said “Listen my friend can you tell me”

Are you union made?
Are you union made?
I really got to know right now
'cos it's not too late for me to walk away
walk away
Hey Hey

Are you union made?
Are you union made?
I really got to know right now
'cos I'm a union maid and I'm very proud
Are you union made?
Are you union made?
I really got to know right now
'cos it's not too late for me to walk away
walk away
Hey Hey

Are you union made?
I'm a union maid
Are you union made?
I'm a union maid
