DThere are people in this country,
Who work Ahard every day, D
GNot for fame or fortune do they strive, A
But the fruitsD of their labor,
Are wortAh more than their pay, D
And it's time Ga few of them were recAognized, D
GHeDllo Detroit! (Auto Workers),
And I thankG you for your time, D
You work a forty hourG week for a livin', D
Just to send iAt on down the line, D
GHelDlo Pittsburg! (Steel Mill Workers),
And I thankG you for your time, D
You work a forty hourG week for a livin', D
Just to send iAt on down the line, D
A-A
This is for the one who swings the hammer,
GDrGivin' home the nails, D
A-A
For the one who's behind the counter,
GRiGngin' up the sales, D
For the one whBmo finds the fire,
The one F#mwho brings the mail, G
For eveAsusryone who works behind the scenes,
You can see them every mornin',
In the factories and the fields,
In the City streets and the quiet country towns,
Workin' together, like spokes inside a wheel,
They keep this country turnin' around,
Hello Kansas! (Wheat field farmers),
And I thank you for your time,
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line,
Hello West Vir-ginia coal miners,
And I thank you for your time,
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line,
This is for the one who drives the big rigs,
Up and down the road,
For the one out in the warehouse,
Bringin' in the load,
For the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol,
For everyone who works behind the scenes,
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine-e-e-e,
Hello A-mer-ica,
Let me thank you for your time
