An Olde Englyshe Rime of the Workynge Classe - to a traditional tune.

A Marxist would a-wooing go,
(Chorus: Wooing the workers!)
His sole desire was the good of mankind,
But the workers they kicked him right up the behind,
(Chorus: With a roly, proly, capitalism
Heigh ho! says Willy the Worker.)

The Marxist rubbed his sore behind,
(Chorus: Wooing the workers!)
And raged: "You've betrayed the great cause of mankind,
For I only wanted to better your mind",
(Chorus: With a roly, proly, capitalism,
Heigh ho! says Willy the Worker.)

So off he stalked in great disgust,
(Chorus: Wooing the workers!)
"If you won't be freed from your mindless grind.
Then go and get stuffed, you and all of mankind!"
(Chorus: With a roly, proly, capitalism,
Heigh-ho! says Willy the Worker.)
