People's Friend
Look at me, they call me the people's friend
and what I ain't got, I ain't got to lend
just give me a chance to air my point of view
and I'll make your world a better place for you
if you're old and broken, whisper in my ear
and when I've spoken, don't forget to cheer
I don't know much, but what I know will do
and no one's gonna break me, I'll break you
and I'm sitting on top of the hill
and no one's gonna' put me down again
Brothers and sisters I'm a union man
and I ain't gonna bend
so join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
don't misjudge my Jensen, please don't take my yacht
don't you tear down my mansion
god knows it's really all I've got
and my woman costs a mint like women do
and I've worked for all I've got and so must you
and I'm sitting on top of the hill
and no one's gonna' put me down again
Brothers and sisters I'm a union man
and I ain't gonna bend
so join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
and I'm sitting on top of the hill
and no one's gonna' put me down again
Brothers and sisters I'm a union man
and I ain't gonna bend
so join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
and what I ain't got, I ain't got to lend
just give me a chance to air my point of view
and I'll make your world a better place for you
if you're old and broken, whisper in my ear
and when I've spoken, don't forget to cheer
I don't know much, but what I know will do
and no one's gonna break me, I'll break you
and I'm sitting on top of the hill
and no one's gonna' put me down again
Brothers and sisters I'm a union man
and I ain't gonna bend
so join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
don't misjudge my Jensen, please don't take my yacht
don't you tear down my mansion
god knows it's really all I've got
and my woman costs a mint like women do
and I've worked for all I've got and so must you
and I'm sitting on top of the hill
and no one's gonna' put me down again
Brothers and sisters I'm a union man
and I ain't gonna bend
so join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
and I'm sitting on top of the hill
and no one's gonna' put me down again
Brothers and sisters I'm a union man
and I ain't gonna bend
so join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
join hands and thank the lord
for the people's friend
