Forty Hour Week - The Country Dance Kings (乡村舞王)[00:00:00]
There are people in this country[00:00:11]
Who work hard every day[00:00:14]
Not for fame or fortune do they strive[00:00:17]
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay[00:00:22]
And it's time a few of them were recognized[00:00:28]
Hello Detroit auto workers [00:00:33]
Let me thank you for your time[00:00:37]
You work a forty hour week for a livin' [00:00:39]
Just to send it on down the line[00:00:44]
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers [00:00:47]
Let me thank you for your time[00:00:51]
You work a forty hour week for a livin' [00:00:53]
Just to send it on down the line[00:00:58]
This is for the one who swings the hammer [00:01:02]
Driving home the nail[00:01:05]
Or the one behind the counter ringing up the sale[00:01:08]
Or the one who fights the fires [00:01:14]
The one who brings the mail[00:01:17]
For everyone who works behind the scenes[00:01:19]
You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields[00:01:25]
In the city streets and the quiet country towns[00:01:31]
Working together like spokes inside a wheel[00:01:37]
They keep this country turning around[00:01:42]
Hello Kansas wheat field farmer [00:01:47]
Let me thank you for your time[00:01:51]
You work a forty hour week for a livin' [00:01:53]
Just to send it on down the line[00:01:58]
Hello West Virginia coal miner [00:02:02]
Let me thank you for your time[00:02:05]
You work a forty hour week for a livin' [00:02:08]
Just to send it on down the line[00:02:12]
This is for the one who drives the big rig [00:02:16]
Up and down the road[00:02:20]
Or the one out in the warehouse [00:02:22]
Bringing in the load[00:02:25]
Or the waitress the mechanic [00:02:28]
The policeman on patrol[00:02:31]
For everyone who works behind the scenes[00:02:34]
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine[00:02:39]
Hello America let me thank you for your time[00:02:47]
