The Sweatshop Song

Tune: Jingle Bells
Gaggle: Seattle
Business & Economy Holiday & Celebrations

/em>

Dashing through the stores
Credit cards grow weak.
Goodwill’s such a bore.
Consuming’s at its peak.

More things are what we need
Slave labour is the price.
Sweat shops promote greed.
But oh, that sweater’s nice!

CHORUS:

Oh, give with care
Be aware
Equality for all
Our planet needs humanity
Not another mall

REPEAT CHORUS

Price tags will never tell
The story of the pain.
A worker’s private hell,
A corporation’s gain.

So as you celebrate
This season of good cheer,
Don’t let your conscience wait
Until the next new year!
