- 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
Rise up and resist
We must persist
Fight for our lives!
The fascists want all of us fearful
Great power and riches // we’re tearful
’cause millions are harmed.
Raise the alarm!
Fight for our lives!
Bridge:
In every state are people
Refusing to comply
With illegal orders.
Hear the great outcry!
So join this gaggle of grannies
Get up off of your fannies
We can’t let them win
Our future looks grim
Fight for our lives!
Speak:
Let’s hear it:
Fight for our lives!
Shout it out:
Fight for our lives!
We won’t let them win!
