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.
Kids come first!

With global warming unending.
Nuclear wars that are pending.
Their future’s at stake,
Truth isn’t fake.
Kids come first.

Bridge:
Whether it’s school shootings,
Environmental demise.
Youth are now our leaders.
Adults brainwashed by lies.

So join this gaggle of grannies.
Get up off of your fannies
We’re telling you now
We’re angry and how
Kids come first.
We really mean it.
Kids come first.
We mean precisely,
Kids Come First
We will say it very nicely.
Kids Come First.
Read our lips.
Kids Come First.
