  5. Legal/Illegal Song*
    It’s legal to join a trade union,
    And to picket is one of your rights.
    But don’t be offensive when scabs cross the line;
    Be nice to the coppers, and keep this in mind:
    To picket effectively, that is a crime
    Worse than if you had murdered your mother! (1978)
