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—
Save Social Security!
PRI-vati-ZATION’s a big scam
Cheating workers is the plan
This corporate theft
Will leave us bereft
Save social security!
Whether it’s Republicans
Or Democrats who go along
Social Security musn’t weaken
We want it to stay strong!
Soooo, join this gaggle of Grannies.
Get up off of your fannies!
We’re telling you now,
We’re angry and how!
Save Social Security!
