SING IT to the tune of Side by Side
Oh, we’re a gaggle of grannies.
Urging you off of your fannies.
We’re raising our voice.
We want a new choice,
NO MORE COAL!
With all the money we’re spending.
On fossil fuels that’re ending.
We need wind and sun.
The sustainable ones,
NO MORE COAL!
Coal’s the major villain.
For emitting CO 2,
We hear talk of clean coal.
And know it isn’t true.
So join this gaggle of grannies.
Get up off of your fannies.
We’re telling you now,
We’re angry and how,
NO MORE COAL!
We really mean it.
NO MORE COAL!
We mean precisely
NO MORE COAL!
We will say it very nicely
NO MORE COAL!
Read our lips;
no more coal (silently)
