One worker, two workers, three workers, four,
Locked outside of the factory door,
Shoutin' roll the hours back again . . .
Hundreds of the hungry, thousands of the poor,
Millions of the workers marchin' on the door,

Singin' roll the hours back again .. .
Bosses by the dozen, bosses by the gross,
Bosses by the carload feelin' real morose,
Hearin' roll the hours back again. . .
