Tune 1: I’se the B’ye
We’re the women who did the work
So men could get the credit-
We said “Leave it all to us”
And wish we’d never said it
Politics was not for us
We left it to our spouses
But now we know a woman’s place
Is Parliamentary Houses
Tune 2: If you’re Happy and You Know It
We need WOMEN on the ballot every race
Take a chance, stand up and show your face
Run yourself; support another –
Your friend, your niece, your mother
Put a woman into office, that’s her place!
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!
Tune 3: 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.
Tune 4: 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!
Tune 5: 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!
Tune 6: Tavern in the Town
There are women in our town, in our town
Who are bravely breaking ground, breaking ground
And we tip our hats to the wondrous work they do
And praise the troopers on this crew.
Holy smokes we can’t believe it!
All the programs women seeded
And we love it that these women really care, they care!
And SO this day we honour you, honour you
And the amazing work you do, work you do
(Action: Take hats off)
And we TIP our hats to the UTurn Project *too
Today, the Grannies honour you!
Holy smokes we can’t believe it!
All the projects they have seeded!
And we love it that these women really care, they care!
