SLIME LINE

If you're wondering what it's like to be
Cutting up the fish in the cannery
The fish smell bad the noise can irritate
Let me spare you the details of the cuts you tolerate

When you're working on the slime line
Working all night and day
Working on the slime line
Working for all that pay
Working on the slime line
Working all night and day
Working on the slime line
Slime line

If you're a woman you're working on the line
Gotta have that extra ? to have that extra time
If you want a raise give it your best smile
Cause equal pay for equal work is never worthwhile

Chorus

Complaining when you're working complaining when you're not
But if you want that extra buck you gotta work a lot
Your hands are aching your feet are weary too
Your body needs a rest but all that you can do
is keep

chorus

When you're not working you're waiting all the day
Waiting for the fish to come swimming up the bay
Waiting for the pinks the silver the chum chums
Waiting for the kings and the silvers and the reds

When you're

Chorus
