The living wage at UVA is what our workers need
to pay for housing heat and clothes and families to feed.
We come from old Virginia
where workers serve and clean they do the work that makes us go so pay them

Tune of: The Brady Bunch Theme Song
Here's the story
Of a UVA worker
Who did not earn enough money to survive She worked two jobs
And had a family
And had no car to drive
'Til one day UVA said to this dear worker You will earn a living wage
from this day on
Now you can feed
And clothe your family
And this is why you should pay a living wage
A living wage
A living wage
This is why you should pay a living wage
