Chorus
We'll have a May Day My O My O We'll have a May Day then.
We'll have a May Day My O My O We'll have a May Day then.

I have friends in London Town, the finest ever seen,
And I have some in Swansea and I've some in Aberdeen,
We're all Labour good and true, and I'll tell you what we're going to do,
We're going to Fight this fight right through and we'll have a May Day then.

Back in '45 they marched, from barrack room and mill,
Determined they would make a change, for they had had their fill.
From the kitchen sink and coal they came, every Labour man and dame,
And shortly we'll be doing the same and we'll have a May Day then.

Our faithers fought this fight before, and thought that they had won,
You should have seen the boss turn green and how that man could run.
But when our faithers turned their backs, the boss came again to dodge his tax
But the next time we'll no be so lax, and we'll have a May Day then.

They're never ever satisfied, though millions they have made,
But still they think that you and I are grossly overpaid,
There's nothing that they widnae steal, they even grudge your kids a meal,
But very soon you'll hear them squeal and we'll have a May Day then.

We'll join in jubilation and the big brass band you'll hear,
As we march on in triumph to the future with a cheer,
But as we greet the newborn day, the piper he'll have a tune to play —
A lament tor the sharks that are on their way and we'll have a May Day then
