Thread Name: Need missing lines to UAW/CIO
Subject: Need missing lines to UAW/CIO
I used to know knew all the words to "UAW/CIO," a union/World War II song by Baldwin Hawes but I can't recall a couple of lines:

(Chorus)
Oh it's that UAW/CIO
That makes the Army roll and go
Turning out the Jeeps and tanks
And airplanes every day.
Oh it's that UAW/CIO
That makes the Army roll and go
Puts wheels
On the USA.

(Verse)
I was standing down on Gratiot Street one day
When I thought I overheard a soldier say:
Every tank in our camp has that UAW stamp
And I'm UAW, too,I'm proud to say

CHORUS

(Verse)
Missing line
Missing line
I was down in Cadillac Square at the union rally there
When we put those plans for pleasure cars away.

CHORUS

(Verse)
There'll be a union meeting in Berlin
When our union boys in uniform roll in
And rolling through the ranks, there'll be UAW tanks
To roll Hitler out and roll the union in.

FINAL CHORUS
