Les Caterpillars

As I was at the gym this morning, working my hot body, I noticed on the news that hundreds of workers at the Caterpillar company in France took their bosses hostage after news of proposed layoffs. Honestly, that sounds like another Victor Hugo novel inspired Broadway Musical. Who knows, maybe it will be.

La Révolution de l'Caterpillar

To be sung to the tune of Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Misérables
You can sing along to the full karaoke track here.

FACTORY WORKER 1
Well you say you'll lay us off?
I tell you not upon our life
We have an anger inside of us
Hotter than Sarkozy's wife

When the tractors they do stop,
And the pink slip, she does come
To your bourgeoisie pig slop
We will not succumb!

FACTORY WORKER 2
Will you join our worthy cause?
Or will you be a big putain?
Beyond the next few days
Will you stand and see us through?

Then join in the fight
Or we will just say, "je m’en fou"!

ALL
See the Caterpillars reign!
As we fight through the trough
Though the Bougie pigs may try
You cannot lay us off!
So we stand together now
And until the end of time
Or at least as long as it takes
'Till we're out of wine!
