I was born in sixty-three
Got a little job in the factory 
I don't know much about Kennedy 
I was too busy working in the factory

We got a kid that's two, we got another one due 
We get by the best we can do 
The factory's got a good medical plan 
And, cousin, I'm a union man 
Saying, Yes sir, no sir, yes sir, no sir, yes sir, no sir, work !

I was born in Mechanicsburg 
My daddy worked for Pontiac 'til he got hurt 
Now he's on disability 
And I got his old job in the factory 
Saying, Yes sir, no sir, yes sir, no sir, yes sir, no sir, work !

Early in the morning I feel a chill
The factory whistle blows loud and shrill
I'd kill my wife or she'd kill me
But we gotta go to work in the factory 
Six days a week at the factory 
Up early in the morning at the factory 

I've been working in the factory 
Johnny, I've been working in the factory 
Kickin' asbestos in the factory
Punchin' out Chryslers in the factory 
Breathin' that plastic in the factory 
Makin' polyvinyl chloride in the factory
