The smell of sump oil fills the air
one weeks swarfega in my hair
I just clock in and do my time
at 5 o'clock my life is mine
a fan-belt, gearbox or a clutch
we're men who've got the midas touch
we're proud of what goes in to it
give it a kick if it don't fit
blue collar car men thats who we are
shame most of us can't afford a car
made in Dagenham
laid in Dagenham
shame we're underpaid in Dagenham
made in Dagenham
we are Dagenham boys.
I love my job it is a gift
a lovely stinking 8 hour shift
see how the factory does shine
from Europe's largest neon sign
we're famous for Mr Henry Ford
for whom all goodness stems
apart from the pollution
that he dumps into the thames
and ooh Dudley Moore
man he was slick
but he got a little famous
and he fucked off pretty quick
made in Dagenham
laid in Dagenham
last year we holidayed in Dagenham
made in Dagenham
we are Dagenham Boys
my half pint thermos
and my steel capped boots
my overalls protected
its a working mans suit
state of the art machinery
health and safety guarantee
maintained daily through and through
by engineering experts and some super glue
made in Dagenham
laid in Dagenham
come get your at spayed in Dagenham
made in Dagenham
we are Dagenham boys
played in Dagenham
we strayed in Dagenham
life is ready made in Dagenham
God knows why we stayed in Dagenham
Tempers getting frayed in Dagenham
cause we're still underpaid in Dagenham
we are Dagenham Girls
Girls!
Girls!
Girls!
oo oo oo oo oo
We are made in Dagenham
