A/N: This is a parody of the song "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic" set while Jurgis is working at the stockyards in "The Jungle".

~The Work Will Go On~

Every night in my dreams, I see it, I smell it

That is how I know it goes on

Far across the stockyards I hear the cows dying

And I know the work will go on.

Near, far, wherever you are

You will know the work does go on

Once more, I'm killing a cow

And the smell fills my nose

And the work will go on and on.

I got hired one time but not for a lifetime

I was let go when I got hurt

I have food when I work, when I make some money

But in my life the work will go on.

(repeat second stanza)

I'm here, with cows to my ears

And I know that the work will go on

I'll stay forever this way

I'll be killing these cows

And the work will go on and on.
