[Sung to the tune of Glory Glory Hallelujah]
Harvard's Dining Halls are empty
For its workers are on strike
They are marching for fair wages
And against the healthcare hike
and for regular employment
They have now begun to fight
The Union's marching on!
[Refrain]
Harvard's wages are outrageous
Loss of benefits contagious
But we will remain courageous
Our fight is marching on!
Wealth and poverty are side by side
but our com-mun-ity is tight
Students, workers, and professors are now taking up the fight
other places pay much lower
but it doesn't make it right.
Give in our to our demands!
[Refrain]
Harvard's wages are outrageous
Loss of benefits contagious
But we will remain courageous
Our fight is marching on!
While negotiations stall
The endowment's climbing higher
They don't have to pay no taxes
'cause they're smart as Donald Trump
but they know the world is watching
As they hoard up all their cash
and let the workers starve.
[Refrain]
Harvard's wages are outrageous
Loss of benefits contagious
But we will remain courageous
Our fight is marching on!
