02 Oct 99 - 03:46 PM (#120102) Subject: LYRICS WANTED: 'Put it on the ground' From: Chris Seymour A friend and I are looking for the words to a song called, we believe "Put it on the ground." The chorus goes Put it on the ground Spread it all around Rake it with a hoe It will make your garden grow It has verses ridiculing business people and bosses. We are hoping to sing it in a performance in two weeks time -- any help would be much appreciated. Thanks |

02 Oct 99 - 05:55 PM (#120122) Subject: ADD: Put It On the Ground (Verses & Tune) From: Joe Offer The People's Songbook has a couple more verses than we have in the DT. Note the songwriter and copyright information, and the slight differences in the first two verses. -Joe Offer- PUT IT ON THE GROUND (Words: Ray Glaser Music: Bill Wolff) ©1947, People's Songs, Inc. Oh! If you want a raise in pay, all you have to do Go and ask the boss for it and he will give it to you Yes, he will give it to you, my boys, he will give it to you A raise in pay, without delay, oh, he will give it to you Ohhh, put it on the ground, spread it all around Dig it with a hoe: it will make your flowers grow For men who own the industries I'm shedding bitter tears They haven't made a single dime in over thirty years In over thirty years, my boys, in over thirty years Not one thin dime in all that time, in over thirty years. Ohhhh… "The cost of living ain't so high," I told my wife Miranda "This talk of living being hard is Rooshian propaganda." It's Rooshian propaganda, boys, just Rooshian propaganda From Molotov to Simonov, just Rooshian propaganda. Ohhhh… It's fun to work on holidays, or when the day is done; Why should they pay us overtime for having so much fun? For having so much fun my boys, for having so much fun. Pay overtime would be a crime for having so much fun. Ohhh… The men who own the industries, they own no bonds and stocks They own no yachts and limousines, or gems the size of rocks. They own no big estates with pools, or silken B.V.D.'s, Because they pay the working man such fancy salaries.

03 Oct 99 - 12:42 AM (#120219) Subject: RE: LYRICS WANTED: 'Put it on the ground' From: bseed(charleskratz) I wrote verses for this song for the 1975 Berkeley teachers' strike:
The schools are short of money, The chorus is the same. I wrote another verse, but I can't remember it, and it disappeared in my hard drive crash. *the members of the school board. Our strike band was "The Board Erasers." The six or eight or ten of us in the group rode around town in the back of a yellow Masda pickup truck, singing traditional strike songs and songs we had written--for more than four weeks. It was a disastrous strike: it ended in arbitration--which we won, but the district ignored the settlement and got away with it. But a good time was had by all... --seed |

As always impressed by the knowledge, resourcefulness and creativity of 'Catters. I'll check out the midi program one of these days-- swamped at present. By the way, Jeri, the first thing I did was search DT -- with various variations on the title and keywords. No clue why it didn't work. Thanks for refraining from chastising me. Chris |
