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 Big Spender!

The minute we walked in the joint (2 beats of tambourine)
You could tell we were the Raging Grannies
A whole lot of trouble
Not gorgeous
Not refined
But we are going to tell you what is on our mind

So let us get right to the point (2 beats of tambourine)
We refuse to stand for many things we see (3 beats)
Let’s make a big fuss (4 beats)
Spend a little time with us (softly)
How’d you like to proTEST, TEST, Test
‘Bout our world in a MESS, MESS, MESS
Come and raise your a-ware-ness
Get a rise out of (Pause) CSIS

So why don’t you lend your support? (2 beats)
Get on out…connect with your MP
Hey there Sisters, (4 beats)
Spend a little time with me (softly)
