This is the initial song which launched the original Raging Granny Group in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It was sung to Member of Parliament, Pat Crofton, in January, 1987. (Canada has a Parliament, rather than a Congress).The song is still applicable, both sides of the border). Do we have to note it is sarcastic?

Tips from the gaggle

Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.

SING IT to the tune of What A Friend We Have In Jesus

Beneath the nuclear umbrella
We’re as safe as we can be.
Trump is sucha pleasant fella
He’ll look out for you and me
We don’t have to think about it
Our defense has been assured
What would we all do without it?
Don’t it make you feel secure?
WITHOUT A SHIRT!
