Tune: My Darling Clementine
Find a party, as a voter
Where will you, dear, park your vote?
Have a look at all the platforms
What do you value – what do you hope?
Find a party, as a voter
Who best reflects your values, dear
Have a look at their positions
On the website, they should be clear.
Are you a single issue voter?
Perhaps that might not be so wise
A single issue is way less cool if
It comes from racists, or shady guys
Here’s what Grannies have on our minds now
Our two cents, for what it’s worth
Jobs are needed, that’s all fine, dear
Just not the ones that harm the earth.
Public schools and public health care,
Daycares too and GSAs
But we don’t need that private Medi-scare
Hips and knees for them that pays.
Ask your questions, now’s the time dear
When they hear the voters out
Make it clear that you’re a person
Who wants to know and….
Who will VOTE!
