The cure for wealth in-e-qual-i-ty

is worker-owned co-op‘ra-tives!

workers owning businesses collectively

are worker-owned co-op‘-ra-tives!

 

            Every worker has…….. a say in the way

            things are run…….. and a say in the pay!

 

If you want a voice in your business,

join a worker-owned co-op‘-ra-tive!

 

If you work for an employer

who’s gettin’ richer by the day

while the cost of ev‘rything’s now much more

than you can afford on your pay

 

            it’s ‘cause he’s takin’……… more than his share

            of profits you’re creatin’……… and that’s not fair!

 

Here’s the advice we grannies give

Join a worker-owned co-op‘-ra-tive!

 

If where you live you cannot find

a worker-owned co-op‘-ra-tive,

look online for how to start one

right there where you live.

 

            If you really wan’na have……… democracy

            where profits are shared……. e-quit-a-bly!

 

Then take this advice we freely give

Join a worker-owned co-op‘-ra-tive!
