Scorsese filmed it in amazing theatrical quality for the time and the performers/performances are unsurpassed. Really. It is worth it--and timeless.

I work for the union 'cause she's so good to me;
And I'm bound to come out on top,
That's where she said I should be
I will hear every word the boss may say,
For he's the one who hands me down my pay
Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay,
I'm a union man, now, all the way
