Well we're living here in Allentown

And they're closing all the factories down

Filling out forms - Standing in line

Well our fathers fought the Second World War

Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore

Met our mothers in the USO

Asked them to dance, Danced with them slow

And we're living here in Allentown

And it's getting very hard to stay

So the graduations hang on the wall

Iron and coke - And chromium steel

And the union people crawled away
