Sixty Per Cent

Sixty Per Cent - Pete Seeger

I'm sixty percent an American

I'm sixty percent a man

That's what parity say I am

That's the law of the land

Now do I work sixty percent of each day

Eat sixty percent of my meals

And does my truck take me into town

On sixty percent of its wheels

Now will my chicks be content to eat

Just sixty percent of their mash

And will the middleman give my throat

Just sixty percent of a slash

Now all you workers in city and town

I know your budget's a mess

But when you get down to that last lousy buck

Remember I've forty cents less
