O Happy Day

[Tom Lehman]

One of my pals, who I used to go out and stump with around union election time,
was and probably still is talking the workers this and the workers that.  He's
with the international union on assignment in another part of the country now.
Any way, he would be shouting the workers this and the workers that, and I'm all
for the workers blah. blah. blah.  Invariably, one of my friends from the blast
furnace or the bop or one of the other departments where you have really hot
hard work would look at him and look at me and ask, what about us loafers?
