[00:25.02]Close your eyes and come with me back to 1984
[00:29.10]We'll take a walk down Henry Street to Dunnes
[00:31.68]Department store
[00:33.15]The supermarket's busy and the registers make a din'
[00:37.38]The groceries go rolling out and the cash comes rolling
[00:40.71]In
[00:40.80]Mary Manning is at the checkout and she's trying to
[00:47.70]Keep warm
[00:48.75]When a customer comes up to her with a basket on her
[00:52.11]Arm
[00:53.04]The contents of the basket Mary's future is to shape
[00:57.21]But the label clearly stated "Produce Of The Cape"
[01:04.80]I can't check out your oranges Mrs, now won't you bring
[01:07.74]Them back
[01:08.82]For they come from South Africa, where White oppresses
[01:12.06]Black
[01:13.14]I'd have it on my conscience and I couldn't sleep at
[01:16.29]Night
[01:17.19]If I helped support the system that denies Black
[01:20.13]People's rights
[01:24.69]Our union says "Don't Handle Them. It's the least that
[01:27.48]We can do
[01:28.20]We Fought oppression here for centuries, we'll help
[01:31.47]Them fight it too"
[01:34.02]The managers descended in an avalanche of suits
[01:38.34]And Mary was suspended cos she wouldn't touch the
[01:41.49]Fruits
[01:50.01]Chorus:
[01:50.16]Dunnes Stores Dunnes Stores
[01:51.30]Dunnes Stores with St Bernard Better Value Beats Them
[02:01.62]All
[02:01.68]Well, her friends are all behind her and the union gave
[02:04.77]Support
[02:05.79]And they called a strike and the pickets brought all
[02:07.95]Dunnes' Stores to a halt
[02:09.96]No one was going to tell the Boss what he bought or
[02:13.17]Sold
[02:14.13]These women are only workers, they must do as they are
[02:17.34]Told
[02:17.70]Isn't it just typical of a partite screwball law?
[02:25.74]It's not just in South Africa, the Rich Temple and the
[02:28.86]Poor
[02:29.97]He wouldn't have a boycott, he couldn't give a tinker's
[02:33.06]Curse
[02:33.99]Doesn't matter how he fills the shelves as long as he
[02:36.96]Lines his Purse
[02:44.40]Chorus
[02:53.25]The messages came rollin' in from all around the world
[02:57.45]For such concern and sacrifice and for courage brave
[03:00.54]And bold
[03:02.22]When 14 months were over, 10 women and a man
[03:06.93]Had helped to raise the consiousness all around the
[03:13.26]Land
[03:13.38]Cleary's in O'Connell street wouldn't sell South
[03:16.05]African shoes
[03:17.13]Best Man sent all their clothes back, Roches Stores
[03:19.89]Sent back their booze
[03:21.30]Until all South African goods were taken off the
[03:23.97]Shelves in Dunnes
[03:25.32]And Mary Manning was down in Henry Street sticking to
[03:28.50]Her guns
[03:28.98]Chorus
