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 It’s a Grand Old Flag
It’s a grand old flag,
It’s a high flying flag!
If you bum it,
It lives through the fire.
Demonstrations of hate
Cannot desecrate–
Free speech
Just makes it fly higher.
Our hearts beat true
For the red, white and blue
When we honor
Its liberty.
Lest freedom ‘s ringing
Be forgot
Keep your eye on
What makes us free!
