We’re weird about sex in Canada

Do it with consent

We don’t accept it’s good any way

Do it with consent

What difference does it make 

How people screw

So what if it’s different

Than the way you do

We’re weird about sex in Canada

Do it with consent

We have many parts that are so fun

Do it with consent 

Why not make use of every one

Do it with consent

Hands, tongues

Breasts and feet,

Elbows, noses

Butts and teeth, 

And genitals are not the least,

Do it with consent

There are lots of ways of enjoying sex

Do it with consent

It’s time to give condemnation a rest

Do it with consent

If all are able

To agree

Then it does no harm 

To you or me

There are lots of ways of enjoying sex

Do it with consent

Yes

Do it with consent

Yes

Do it with consent

Tune: Jesus Loves the Little Children

Every woman should be safe,

Safe from torture and from rape,

Safe from every form of cruelty by males

Every mother, sister, wife

Has a right to a peaceful life

Men who don’t respect that right should be in jail!

Sing for the safety of the women

All the women of the world

Brown or yellow, black or white

Must be safe by day and night

Let’s eliminate the violence in the world!

Join us now, as we walk

People can do more than talk

And we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear

Equal treatment would be fair

No more feeling we’re in err

 

And we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear

 

And we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear

 

We want safety, we want honour

We will not wait any longer

 

But we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear

 

So pay us heed, listen to us

People power is tre-mend-ous

 

And we can march together

Facing down our fear

Raise our voices loud and clear.
