Lyrics
Toora loora loora loo
I'll tell you something awfully true
Yae wouldnae Hae yer telly the new
If it wasn't for the union
Now I had a boss in Aberdeen
The nicest fella that ever was seen
He must have thought me helluva green
Before I joined the union
Toora loora loora loo
I'll tell you something awfully true
Yae wouldnae Hae yer telly the new
If it wasn't for the union
And I had a boss called Allardyce
He was really helluva nice
Except for the way he loaded the dice
Before I joined the union
Toora loora loora loo
I'll tell you something awfully true
Yae wouldnae Hae yer telly the new
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 was bloody good at gii'ng the sack
Before I joined the union
Toora loora loora loo
I'll tell you something awfully true
Yae wouldnae Hae yer telly the new
If it wasn't for the union
Well a pal of mine has bought a car
A second-handed Jaguar
He wouldn't hae travelled half as far
If it wasn't for his union
Toora loora loora loo
I'll tell you something awfully true
Yae wouldnae Hae yer telly the new
If it wasn't for the union
The bosses they were doing fine
Wee ones were working down the mine
They'd have them on the assembly lines
If it wasn't for the union
Toora loora loora loo
I'll tell you something awfully true
Yae wouldnae Hae yer telly the new
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
Toora loora loora loo
I'll tell you something awfully true
Yae wouldnae Hae yer telly the new
If it wasn't for your union
