Lyrics of Made in Dagenham by The "Made in Dagenham" Original London Cast
verse
The smell of sump oil fills the air
One week's swarfega in my hair
I just clock in and do my time
At five o'clock my life is mine
verse
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
pre-chorus
Blue collar car men, that's who we are
Shame most of us, can't afford a car
chorus
Made in Dagenham
Laid in Dagenham
Shame we're underpaid in Dagenham
Made in Dagenham
We are Dagenham boys
verse
I love my job, it is a gift
A lovely stinking, eight-hour shift
See how the factory does shine
From Europe's largest neon sign
verse
We're famous, for Mr Henry Ford
For whom all goodness stems
Apart from the pollution
That he dumps into the Thames
pre-chorus
And oh, Dudley Moore
Man, he was slick
But he got a little famous
And he fucked off pretty quick
chorus
Made in Dagenham
Laid in Dagenham
Last year, we holidayed in Dagenham
Made in Dagenham
We are Dagenham Boys
verse
My half pint thermos (woo)
And my steel capped boots
My overalls protected
It's a working man's suit
pre-chorus
State-of-the-art machinery
Health and safety, guarantee
Maintained daily through and through
By engineering experts, and some superglue
chorus
Made in Dagenham
Laid in Dagenham
Come get your at spayed in Dagenham
Made in Dagenham
We are Dagenham boys
bridge
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, boys
Girls, boys
Girls, boys
Girls, boys
outro
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We are made in Dagenham
Writer(s): David George Arnold, Richard Huw Thomas
