Give the Workers
[Intro]
Hey, you, Mister Fat Cat Boss whose company makes millions of pounds a year: When you gonna give the workers their fair share?
[Chorus]
Give the workers
More of the profit
'Cause you got it
Yes, you got it
Give the workers
More a' yer profit
'Cause you got it
Yes, you got it
[Verse 1]
Hey, Mister Big Man who make all the profit
You make all the profit
Inna ya own pocket
But what about the workers
A-dem should a-get it
From the ones in the office
To the one with the bucket
Them help make the profit
They should get some of it
Put some of the profit
Inna [?] their pocket
When dem sixty-five
Ya give dem a watch or a locket
Stop it!
[?] people nah take it
[Chorus]
Give the workers
More of a' yer profit
'Cause you got it
Yes, you got it
Give the workers
More a' yer profit
'Cause you got it
Yes, you got it
[Verse 2]
'Cause the workers a-make the profit go up so fast
And-a the workers come at eight o'clock sharp
And-a the workers a-come a work without breakfast
And-a the workers a-do all the hard work
[?] made a profit
And never make a loss
And the younger one [?] the boss
They never give nuh rise to the rest of the staff
The boss [?] a-buy another race horse
[Chorus]
Give the workers
More of a' yer profit
'Cause you got it
Yes, you got it
Give the workers
More a' yer profit
[Bridge]
All a' di workers, listen!
If all is not well, rebel
And give them hell
Stand up for your rights and yell
If all is not right, strike
And gi' dem a fight
'Cause they can't treat the workers
Just how dem like
More pay
[?] di workers a-ask for more pay
"No" to slave labour
More pay
Increase the wages
More pay
Fi help with di mortgage
More pay
More cooperation
More pay
In line with inflation
More pay
Share of the wealth
Ya can't want all a' di money for yourself
[Chorus]
Give the workers
More of a' yer profit
'Cause you got it
Yes, you got it
Give yer workers
More of a' yer profit
'Cause you got it
Yes, you got it
