1)    Steerer's life is like a soldier's
      Into action every day
      DSU would fold without you
      No matter what they say
      But you always must be mindful
      Biased Steerers always fail
      Keep your hands on Standing Orders
      And a pint of real ale.

CHORUS (repeats after every verse)
      Union Steerers stand together
      Officers may tell tall tales
      Keep your hands on Standing Orders
      And a pint of real ale

2)   Soon your trouble will be ended
     Office length is but a year
     Or you may do something foolish
     And continue then to steer.
     If you stand your chances are good
     Husts for steering never fail
      Keep your hands on Standing Orders
      And a pint of real ale.

3)   You may choose to Clerk the Union
      Running each and every thing
      But you always must be mindful
      Life is more than Steering.
      Share the burden, you'll do better
      Delegation never failed.
      Keep your hands on Standing Orders
      And a pint of real ale.

4)   You could always run elections
      In the job of SRO
      Campaign tactics- what is legal?
      This it is your job to know
      Turn your phone off that'll vex them
      Candidates will gnash and wail
      Keep your hands on Standing Orders
      And a pint of real ale.

5)   What a glorious thing is freedom.
      Information most of all.
      But it is your job to tell them
      "Cleared for that- no, not at all"
     FOI can sound quite daunting
     But it's easy not to fail
      Keep your hands on Standing Orders
      And a pint of real ale.

6)   With the Chair we have a problem
      Is it Steering, aye or no?
      All his job is running meetings
      And preventing strife or woe.
      UGMs he does, and Councils
      No more does the job entail.
      Keep your hands on Standing Orders
      And a pint of real ale.
