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 Summertime

Campaign time
And the country’s in trouble.
Poor getting poorer
Rich doing just fine.
Bankster’s greed
Brought the system to its knees
Children go hungry.
And the homeless die!

Bailed out those banks
Too big to fail.
They’re even bigger now
No banksters in jail.
Talk is cheap
And job promises fly by.
Change stays the same
Hope’s on the fly.
