MADE IN THE USA

It’s all about a sense of pride
And keeping the American dream alive.

It’s all about a safe work place

And laws that govern toxic waste.

It’s all about legal working age,

About maximum hours and minimum wage;

About health care plans and severance pay,

Maternity leaves and vacation days.

Whenever you can, please shop with care

For things you use and clothes you wear.

There’s nothing finer a label can say
Than proudly "MADE IN THE USA"!
