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

Oh we’re a gaggle of grannies
Urging you off of your fannies
It’s time to get woke
This isn’t a joke
Open up your eyes

No snowflakes are quite the same
If they were it would be a shame
We want a world that’s diverse
A blessing not a curse
Open up your eyes

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
Take action and care
Open up your eyes
We really mean it
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
And don’t forget your heart
Open up your heart
