Union Cutie by Devin Ens
I saw her at a rally,
she was rollin’ really good
I wanted her to roll
me one and wondered if she would
‘Cos
I’ve been rolling my own
That’s wot you do when you’re all alone
And tryin’a make
some friends in a hostile neighbourhood
I saw her on a poster
on the tunnel wall
It was the first time
I’d seen her since the legion hall
And she was smilin’ at me
If only in 2-D
Man, I sure wished I
had an excuse to call
Gotta wait for fall
Union Cutie, ‘swear
you’re gonna recruit me
Union Cutie, a card-carryin’ beauty-yeh-heh
I saw her in an
interview on the CBC
Everything she said
seemed like it was directed at me
And if I had a choice
Y’know I’d grab a jugga
that voice
And pour a little
wisdom into the NDP
That they might hear
what I see
Union Cutie, ‘swear
you’re gonna recruit me
Union Cutie, a card-carryin’ beauty-yeh-heh
Once in a hundred
years an election goes right
Once an election year
just ain’t once a night
Y’know I’d vote for once a night
Ain’t here to talk about no dental plan
I got all my teeth dontcha understand?
I just wanna see
If you remember me
And if you might’ve
forgotten that handsome man
I saw ya holdin’ some hand
Union Cutie, got a feelin’ ya’d suit me
(Butchyer
boyfriend’d shoot me)
Union Cutie, a card-carryin’ beauty-yeh-heh.
