Letra de Boom Went the Boom

[Verse 1]
I had a job in twenty-nine
When everything was going fine
I knew the pace was pretty fast
But thought that it would always last
[Verse 2]
When organizers came to town
I'd always sneer and turn them down
I thought the boss was my best friend
He'd stick by me to the end
[Chorus]
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay!
Ain't got a word to say
He chiseled down my pay
Then took my job away
"Boom" went the boom one day
It made a noise that way
I wish I had been wise
Next time I'll organize
[Verse 3]
I had a little bank account
Not very much, a small amount
Which to the savings bank I took
All they gave me was a book
[Verse 4]
I pinched on food, scraped on rent
I hardly ever spent a cent
My little savings grew and grew
I thought I'd be a big shot too
[Chorus]
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay!
It made a noise that way
There went my hard-earned pay
Saved for a rainy day
Oh, what a dirty trick
This soup line makes me sick
Where can that banker be?
He's eating soup with me
[Verse 5]
Then finally it came to pass
All I had to eat was grass
The wolf don't bother any more
He starved to death right by my door
[Verse 6]
With soup and gas and club and gun
They tried to make the system run
They said, "Dear friends, now don't get sore
We'll make it like it was before"
[Chorus]
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay!
It busted up one day
Those guys that stole my pay
Went flying every way
All that I've got to say
I hope they've gone to stay
Each dog must have his day
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay!
