Well, listen to my story ‘bout a woman that I know

Vowed to give up ironing and wearing panty hose

She said I’m gonna take a stand just you wait and see

So she googled Raging Grannies right here in Calgary

fossil fuels!  fossil fogies!  Bad for ducks!

Well the next thing you know she’s a-carrying a sign

Givin’ Stephen and the boys a piece of her own mind

She was wearing an outrageous hat the day that she was born

With a pamphlet in her parasol, she’s singin’ up a storm

Storm of protest; oh shy violet;  blow your horn!

So if doilies leave you cold and you want to take a stand

Against the greedy forces that are ruining this land

Get a bee in your bonnet and a yen for the stage

Then come on girl, join us now because it’s time to rage!

Raging grannies!  old age! not for sissies!

Well now it’s time to move along we’ve got some work to do

But come on down and talk to us we need someone like you

No perfect pitch is necessary nor a pretty face

All you need is lots of heart and in the proper place

Place for you, Raging Granny, your name here!

The minute we walked in the joint (2 beats of tambourine)

You could tell we were the Raging Grannies

A whole lot of trouble, not gorgeous, not refined

But we are going to tell you what is on our mind

So let us get right to the point (2 beats of tambourine)

We refuse to stand for many things we see (3 beats)

Let’s make a big fuss (4 beats)

Spend a little time with us (softly)

How’d you like to pro TEST TEST TEST

Bout our world in a MESS MESS MESS

Come and raise you’re A_wareness

Help us work towards -Fairness

So why don’t you lend your support (2 beats)

Get on out….connect with your MP (3 beats)

Brothers and Sisters (4 beats)

Spend a little time with me (softly)
