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 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 CUTS!

With all the money they’re spending,
Plus the dollars they’re lending,
They’re behaving like butts
With those welfare cuts
NO MORE CUTS!

Stop cutting service programs-
It’s patently unfair
Fund needed human services
SHOW THAT YOU REALLY CARE!

Soooo, join this gaggle of Grannies.
Get up off of your 6nnies!
We’re telling you now.
We’re angry and how!
NO MORE CUTS!

We really mean it—NO MORE CUTS!
We mean precisely-NO MORE CUTS!
We will say it very nicely—NO MORE CUTS!
READ OUR LIPS! (mouth silently: No more cuts!)
