Original lyrics by Gastown Grannies (Vancouver)
Familiar with the tune? Grab a hat, gather some friends, and sing it at your next action.
- 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.
Children for sale,The third world has great buys,
Male and female,
They gladden corporate eyes.
They weave rugs for the rich, stitch soc-cer balls,
And make toys and shoes for export to our malls.
No-o unions have they to prote-ect them,
No-o fam’lies or friends to defe-end them.
Third world kids don’t have enough.
While our stores have too much stuff.
With profits rolling, rolling in,
Who cares?
They don’t play with toys
Or kick soc-cer balls
And they won’t be wearing Nike shoe-oe-oes
Third world kids don’t have enough.
While our stores have too much stuff.
With profits rolling, rolling in,
Who cares?
We do!!
