These songs were found in papers from the defunct company. Of World War II vintage, they were played on the local radio station …...
To the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"
Our lathes are turning out more lathes to lick our enemies, Our shapers are in shape to put those Japs on their knees, Departments all along the line from one to sixty three, March on to victory! (refrain) Hendey's men are eighteen hundred strong, Working day and night to right an awful wrong, They will turn out lathes and shapers by the score till Tokyo is no more!
We've got to lick those Japs so we are working overtime, making lathes and shapers just to beat the axis line, Hendey's men are loyal and best men in their line So keep them rolling on! (refrain)
To the tune "Marine Hymn"
Hendey's men are 1800 strong and loyal as can be. We're producing lathes and shapers too just to save democracy Our production line are battle lines and to this you must agree For we have to help the men who fight to win this victory
Hendey's men are rising to the cause to the cause of liberty, Working hand in hand with one idea in their drive for victory All departments in this factory are busy as can be So we'll lick those axis monsters from far across the sea.
