Hark - the Wal-Mart Banners Say
(sung to the tune of “Hark - the Herald Angels Sing")

Hark, the Wal-Mart banners say:
“It’s Made in the U.S.A.”
But read the labels and you’ll see,
most things come from overseas

Sweatshop factories exploit children,
while Sam Walton rakes in billions.

Tell us where your factories are,
do they exploit the world’s poor?
Hark - to Wal-Mart we do say,
People deserve a living wage!

A quarter-an-hour in Honduras,
just five cents in Bangladesh,
seven day weeks in Guatemala,
Indonesians earn ten cents.

Workers beaten for mistakes,
Wal-Mart this is a disgrace!

Tell us where your factories are,
Do they exploit the world’s poor?
Hark - to Wal-Mart we do say
People deserve a living wage!

Wal-Mart sweatshops won’t stay secret,
we will let the world see.
We don’t want our hard earned money,
siphoned off by corporate greed!

We want human rights today!
Wal-Mart, we won’t go away!

Tell us where your factories are,
Do they exploit the world’s poor?
Hark - to Wal-Mart we do say,
People deserve a living wage!
