- If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.

SING IT to the tune of Side by Side
Oh, we’re a gaggle of grannies
Urging you off of your fannies
It’s time to get woke
This isn’t a joke
Make good trouble!
No people are quite the same
If they were it would be a shame
Our world is diverse
A blessing, not curse
Make good trouble!
There are people who don’t get it
Feel disdain for those who care
About the world’s problems
And resources we must share
So, join this gaggle of grannies
Get up off of your fannies
Say I’m woke without fear
Make people aware
Make good trouble!
Make good trouble! Make good trouble! Make good trouble!
