#1 Tune: Lord of the Dance
VOTE! VOTE! Whomever you may choose….
This is the time when they hear your views
Election day, let’s get out and VOTE……
This is the time when you snooze, you lose.
#2 Tune: It’s Raining, It’s Pouring
It’s raining, it’s pouring
Elections are never bor-ing!
Just go to the poll; Put X in the hole,
And feel good in the morning!
#3 Tune: Side by Side
Oh….We’re just a gaggle of – Grannies
Urging you off of your – fannies
We’re telling you straight
It’s really your fate
To change the world
So… We may be a gaggle of —Grannies
But we’re getting off our — fannies
We’re telling you now
Your grannies know how
We want YOU to vote!
#4 Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It
Couch potatoes on the sofa, Go and vote
Take a chance, put down that remote
Missing Netflix, what a pity!
Check out real life in our city
Don’t miss the boat – go and vote
If you can’t be bothered voting, think again
If you can’t be bothered voting, think again
Keep in mind as it’s worth noting
If good folks don’t get voting
(Slowly ) Some toads we’d all reject will probably win.
If your MP seems to really be a toad
You can tell this rep to simply hit the road
Stop ignoring your opinions, and wasting multi-millions
GO and change the system with your vote!
#5 Tune: Ants Go Marching
The Grans go marching two by two
Oh yah! Oh yah!
The Grans go marching two by two
Oh yah! Oh yah!
The Grans go marching two by two
We are going to vote, and so should you
Let’s all march down to the polls
We need to stay outta the rain.
(spoken: Political rain that is….)
