Marching in the Street
Tune: Dancing in the Street
Lyrics: Elise Bryant, Lisa Marie Smith, Betty Coleman
Calling out around the town,
Get up on your feet!
The struggle is here and the time is right
For marching in the street
Down on Larned, and at Lafayette, here in Detroit City...
All we need is unions, Strong Unions. There'll be Unions everywhere.
There'll be swinging, swaying, and pepper spraying
While we're marching in the street.
Oh, it doesn't matter who they are, they can't push us back too far
So come on everybody, grab a sign, and don't you cross that picket line!
We be marching, we're marching in the streets.
We want negotiation, not confrontation, a chance for all to meet
There'll be swinging, swaying, and pepper spraying
While we're marching in the street.
Down on Larned, and at Lafayette, here in Detroit City....
All we need is Unions, Strong Unions. There'll be Unions everywhere.
There'll be swinging, swaying and pepper spraying
While we're marching in the street.
Oh, it doesn't matter who they are, they can't push us back too far.
So come on everybody, grab a sign, and don't you cross that picket line!
We're marching, we're marching in the street.
Down on Larned, and at Lafayette, don't forget the Motor City
Don't forget the Motor City, don't forget the Motor City
Don't!
