[Verse 1]

Parasites in this fair country, live from honest labor's sweat;

There are some who never labor, yet labor's product get;

They never starve or freeze, nor face the wintry breeze;

They are well fed, clothed and sheltered,

And they do whate'er they please.

[Chorus]

These parasites are living, i nluxury and state;

While millions starve and shiver, and moan their wretched fate;

They know not why they die, nor do they ever try

Their lot in life to better;

They only mourn and sigh.

[Verse 2]

These parasites would vanish and leave this grand old world.

If the workers fought together, and the scarlet flag unfurled;

When in One Union grand, the working class shall stand,

The parasites will vanish.

And the workers rule the land.

[End]
