Let's hear it for the workin' man
Everybody give the man a hand
The only hero of this land
Let's hear it for the workin' man

He's a butcher, he's a baker, he's a mover and a shaker
And a guy a workin' down at the mill
He's a plumber, he's a preacher, he's a trucker, he's a teacher
He's guy that keeps a payin' the bills

He's a fella that's farmer and the barber on the corner
And nothin' keeps a good man down
He can build it, he can deck it, he can cook it, he can hack it
He's the hands that make the world go round

Let's hear it for the workin' man
Everybody give the man a hand
The only hero of this land
Let's hear it for the workin' man

He's a driver, he's a driller, he's a miner, he's a miller
Ain't nothin' that the man can't do
He can twist it, he can turn it, he can bang it, he can burn it
And make it look just like new

We use him and abuse him, but if we ever lose him
There's gonna be a hell to pay
Let's see a standing ovation for the strength of the Nation
He's the power of the USA

Let's hear it for the workin' man
Everybody give the man a hand
The only hero of this land
Let's hear it for the workin' man

Let's hear it for the workin' man
Everybody give the man a hand
The only hero of this land
Let's hear it for the workin' man

Let's hear it for the workin' man
Everybody give the man a hand
The only hero of this land
Let's hear it for the workin' man...
