Uaw-CIO

I was standing down on Gratiot Street one day,

When I thought I overheard a soldier say,

"Every tank and plane in camp

Carries the U.A.W. stamp

And I am U.A.W. too. I'm proud to say."

CHORUS:

It's that U.A.W.-C.I.O.

Makes that army roll and go,

Turnin' out jeeps and tanks and airplanes every day.

It's that U.A.W.-C.I.O.

Makes that army roll and go --

Puts wheels on the U.S.A.

I was there when that union came to town,

I was there when that union came to town;

I was standing at gate four

When I heard the people roar:

"Ain't nobody keeps us auto-workers down."

I was there on that cold December day

When we heard about Pearl Harbor far away;

I was down at Cadillac Square

When the union rallied there

To put them plans for pleasure cars away.

There'll be a union label in Berlin

When the union boys in uniform march in;

And rolling in the ranks

There'll be U.A.W. tanks

Roll Hitler out and roll the union in!
