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 Hi ho
Divest, Divest
From fossil fuels, lest
We spew out too much CO2
Earth needs a rest.
Po-lu-tion!
Divest, Divest,
It’s time to do what’s best
And give those fossil fuels a rest
Divest, Divest!
Or we’ll protest
A REALLY BIG PROTEST
To keep all oil and coal and gas
Deep down inside the Earth
Then we’ll
Invest, yes,
Then we’ll re-invest
In energy that’s
Clean and Green
But now DIVEST!!!!!!
