Pulitzer and Hearst, they think we're nothing! Are we nothing? (No!)
Pulitzer and Hearst, they think they got us! Do they go us? (No!)
Even though we ain't got hats or badges, we're a union just by saying so! And the "World" will know!
What's it gonna take to stop the agons?Are we ready? (Yeah!)
What's it gonna take to stop the scabbers? Can we do it? (Yeah!)
We'll do what we gotta do until we break the will of Mighty Bill and Joe.
And the "World" will know!
And the Journal, too!
Mister Hearst and Pulitzer have we got news for you!
Now the "World" will hear what we have to say.
We've been hawkin' headlines,
but we're making them today!
And our ranks will grow,
and we'll kick their rear!
And the world will know that we've been here!
When the circulation bell starts ringing, Will we hear it? (No!)
What if the delancy's come out swingin? Will we hear it? (No!)
When you got a hundred voices singing, who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
And the "World" will know!
That this ain't no game
that we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim!
So they gave they're word
Well, it ain't worth beans!
Now they're gonna see what stop he presses really means
And the day has come
And the time is now
An dthe fear is gone
(And our name id Mud)
And the stike is on
(And I can't sand blood)
And the world will...
Pulitzer may own the "World"
but he don't know us
-Pulitzer may own the World but he don't know us-
Pulitzer may crack the whip
but he won't whip us
-Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us-
And the "World" will know!
And the "World" will learn!
And the "World" will wonder
how we made the tables turn
And the "World" will see
that we have to choose
That the things we do today
will be tomorrow's news
And the old will fall
And the young stand tall
And the time is now
And the winds will blow
And our ranks will grow
And grow, and grow and so
The "World" will feel the fire
And finally know!
