Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Have you [F]been to [C]work [Dm]at Idr[G]is?
No we [C]won't go [B]in [C]today!
For we're [A]standing by our [Am]com [D]rade
[Dm]And [C]we'll nev [Am]er ru[D]n away[Am][G]
She stood [F]bravely [C]by the [Dm]Uni o[G]n
And she [C]spoke up [B]for us [C]true
And [A]if she gets the sack
No we [Am]never shall go [D]back
What e'er they [Dm]do,
[G]what e'er they do[C]
Now you [F]boys who're
[C]wash[Dm]ing [G]bottles
It [C]really [B]is a [C]shame
To [A]take the place [C]of [Am]women
[Dm]Don't you thin[A]k you[D]
are [Am]to b[G]lame?
Come with [F]us and [C]join [Dm]the Unio[G]n
Never [C]heed [B]what Idris [C]say
We are [A]out to right the wrong
And [Am]now we s[D]han't be long
Hip hip [Dm]hooray, hip [G]hip [C]hooray
Master [Dm]Willy, [C]master [Dm]Willy[G]
You must [C]give in [B]once [C]again
It was [A]wrong to sack [C]a w[Am]o ma[D]n
[Dm]With two child[Am]ren[D]
to [G]maintain
Thirteen [Dm]years [F]she's [C]faith
[Dm]ful served y[G]ou

[Verse 2]
Though she [C]was three [B]minutes [C]late
But our [A]little sister Anne
Why she [Am]never checked the [D]man
At the [Dm]gate, [G]at the [C]gate
Oh you [F]great king [C]in [Dm]the p[G]alace
And [C]you statesman [B]at the [C]top
When you're [A]drinking [C]soda [Em]wa t[D]er
Or im[A]bib[D]ing [F]ginger [G]pop
Think of [F]some who [C]work [Dm]at Idri[G]s
For [C]very [B]little [C]pay
And who [A]only get nine bob
[F]For a [Am]most unpleasant [D]job
[Dm]Alack[G]aday, [C]alackaday
Now then [F]girls all [C]join [Dm]the Unio[G]n
[C]Whatever [B]you may [C]be
In [A]pickles, jam, [C]or [Am]chocol[Dm]ates
[D]Or pac[Am]king[D] pounds of t[F]ea[G]
For we [F]all want [C]bet[Dm]ter w[G]ages
And [C]this is [B]what we [C]say
We are [A]out to right the wrong'
And now we [D]shan't be long'
Hip hip [Dm]hooray, hip [G]hip hooray'
