- 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 want war to end
A strong message we’ll send
Let’s have peace
With billions for arms
We are spending
We could see poverty ending
This is about greed
And not people’s needs
No more war
We arm so many countries
Then just turn away
From all the human suff’ring
We cause but could abate
So join this gaggle of grannies
Get up off of your fannies
We’re telling you now
We’re angry and how
No more war
We really mean it
No more war
We mean precisely
No more war
We will say it very nicely
No more war
Read our lips
No more war
