SING IT to the tune of The Fish Cheer by Country Joe and the Fish

Yeah, come on all you Republicans
Tryin’ to help women again
You’re sure they won’t do what’s best
With a positive pregnancy test
So it’s full speed ahead, the agenda is set,
To impose all the bans you can get!

Chorus:

And it’s 1, 2, 3
What are we fighting for?
You know my body’s my own
Why can’t you leave it alone?
And it’s 5, 6, 7
Don’t regulate my pearly gates
Ain’t it time to hear my voice
Listen up!
We need a choice!
Come on politicians moving fast
Your big chance has come at last!
Supreme Court didn’t hesitate
To pull the plug on Roe v. Wade.
Doesn’t matter what a woman needs
Gotta protect those seeds!

Chorus

Well, come on people throughout the land
Come on with us and make a stand
Register and get out the vote
Elect officials who are righteous folk!
Everyone’s body should be their own.
Why can’t they leave us alone?

Chorus
