Know the tune My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean? You're ready.
Record your gaggle singing it and we'll feature it here.
- 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.
The sta-ate can’t balance it’s budget.
More cuts will hurt you and hurt me.
lt’s time to reform our tax system
And vote for e-qua-a-li-ty.
Chorus:
Be fair, be fair.
The better off should pay their fa-ir share
Be fair, be fair.
The better off should pay their fair share.
Our sales tax is so-o regressive.
B & O is unfair too.
The property tax is a burden.
Let’s vote for a tax that is new!
YELL: STATE INCOME TAX!
Chorus
Who calls the rich more deserving-
A myth that belongs in the trash.
We ask you, our friends, to consider
With no workers how would we last?
Chorus
So think of your welfare and listen
And put on some hats just like these.
It’s time to reform our tax system
And VOTE more equality!
YELL: STATE INCOME TAX! STATE INCOME TAX! STATE INCOME TAX!
