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 I Got Rhythm

We spend billions
Lotsa billions,
We spend billions
To fight these ‘fabulous’ wars.

None for jobs here
None for health care,
Education
Low as it can go.

Corporations making billions
While the poor guys,
Go off to fight in these wars.

(Slowly with ZEAL)
So, let’s show them
We mean business,
We want peace NOW!
Let’s bring those billions back home!!
(Give it your all!)
YEAH!!!!! Let’s bring those billions back home!!!!!
