Guide You Right Along

They are open, understanding
And there’s no discrimination  
If you’re doing fine or need help
With your credit situation

And the members call the shots because
CUs are so pragmatic
Every member gets a vote to keep things
Nice and democratic

(CHORUS)
The seven co-operative principles 
Will guide you right along
The credit union 
Helps me sing this song

In a credit union, members stand to
Gain from any profit
So if it does well, then that means
Better rates on my deposits

As financial co-ops, sharing 
Is the key to their foundation
And they strive to keep their members 
Well informed—that’s education

(CHORUS)
The seven co-operative principles 
Will guide you right along
I don’t know how I know 
The words to this song 

They will go the extra mile just to
Lend a helping hand, which
Goes together nicely like my
Ham and pickle sandwich

Not exactly, I was talking more
About working together
Both locally and globally
To make the co-op movement better

(CHORUS)
The seven co-operative principles 
Will guide you right along
The credit union 
Helps me sing this song

The community’s important to the
credit union mission
Its focus is on members 
With its every decision
You could say that serving others
Is its primary ambition
