Doo-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I'll tell you something off it true
You wouldn't hear you telly the noo If it wasn't for the union
No,
I had a boss in Aberdeen The nicest fella that ever was seen
But he must have thought me hell of a green Before I joined the union
Doo-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I'll tell you something off it true
You wouldn't hear you telly the noo If it wasn't for the union
And I had a boss called Aladice And he was really hell of a nice
Except for the way he loaded the dice Before I joined the union
Doo-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I'll tell you something off it true
You wouldn't hear you telly the noo If it wasn't for the union
I had a boss,
his name was Black He told all the workers to call him Jack
But he's bloody good,
I'd be in the sack Before I joined the union
Doo-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I'll tell you something off it true
You wouldn't hear you telly the noo If it wasn't for the union
Well a pal of mine has bought a car A second-handed Jaguar He
wouldn't have travelled half as far If it wasn't for his union
Doo-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I'll tell you something off it true
You wouldn't hear you telly the noo If it wasn't for the union
The bosses they were d'ye and fine
We weans were working d'ye and mine
Have them on the assembly lines If it wasn't for the union
Doo-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I'll tell you something off it true
You wouldn't hear you telly the noo If it wasn't for the union
So men and women all agree It's time to rise up off your knee
And raise the banner of unity Forward with the union
Doo-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-loo I'll tell you something off it true
You wouldn't hear you telly the noo
If it wasn't for your union
