Union Jack Lyrics

He always wore a blue suit
Never wore a new suit
Under his overalls
And though he wasn't very tall
He was the biggest of them all

You could see him with his red tie
Walking round about I
Must admit it looked so bright
The colours seemed to fit just right
And his shirt was dazzling white

Union Jack
What a man he was
Always for the cause of fellow workers

Industrial relations
Worker's reputations
Much enhanced by things he'd do
Every word he said was true
And he spoke like me or you

It's never been the same
Since he gave up the game
To retire on a steady sum
And now I know the day will come
When we'll be under management's thumb

Union Jack
What a man he was
Always for the cause of fellow workers

Speaking from the platform to a crowd
As he waved the flag he always was so proud of

Union Jack
What a man he was
Always for the cause of fellow workers.
