CHORUS:
Hey here comes Joe now running down the street, hey Joe!
He must have news the way he moves his feet, hey Joe!

He´s coming from the meeting with the boss, hey Joe!
I hope they didn´t throw him for a loss, hey Joe!
He must have news about the strike, I wonder what it´s like.
Hey Joe! Hey Joe! Hey Joe, don´t be so slow!
Tell us, Joe! Spill it, Joe! Joe, what do you know?

JOE:
What do I know?
I ain´t heard as good news since Lord knows when,
For the strike is over, boys,
Back to work again!

CHORUS:
Yeah!

JOE:
The fighting´s through now,
There´s no more fuss
For the strike is over, boys,
Back to work for us!

CHORUS:
Yeah!

JOE:
We gave a little, and we took a little.
It was quite a fight but things came out all right!
Shout to the rafters, let yourselves go.
For the striking all is done, let´s have fun,

The day is won, back to work we go!

CHORUS:
Yeah!
Back to work again!
Back to work for us! JOE:
We gave a little, and we took a little.  We gave and we took--
It was quite a fight It was quite a fight

JOE:
But things came out all right!
Shout to the rafters, let yourselves go.
For the striking all is done,

JOE and CHORUS:
Let´s have fun,
The day is won, back to work we go!

Back to work, Joe!
Back to work, Joe!
Back to work we go!
