Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

It's gonna take everybody to win this war
The butcher and the baker and
The clerk in the store
The guys who sail the ships and
The guys who run the trains
And the farmer raising wheat
Upon the Kansas plains

The butcher, the baker
The tinker and the tailor
We'll all work behind the soldier and sailor
We're working in the cities
We're working in the woods
We'll all work together to deliver the goods
I got a new job and I'm working overtime
Turning out tanks on the assembly line
Got to crank up the factories
Like the president said
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead

I bet this tank will look mighty fine
Punching holes in Mr hitler's line
And if Adolf wakes up after the raid
He'll find every piece of
Shrapnel says "Union made"

From New York City to 'Frisco Bay
We're speeding up production every day
And every time a wheel goes 'round
It carries Mr hitler to the burying ground

Now me and my boss we never did agree
If a thing helped him
Then it didn't help me
But when a burglar tries to
Bust into your house
You stop fighting with the landlord
And throw him out
