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 When the Saints Come Marching In
When we stop (pause) all the fuel trains
When we stop all the fuel trains
How I want to be in that number
When we stop all the fuel trains
When fossil fuels stay in the ground
When energy is safe and clean
When no fuel trains are in our tunnel
When all divest of fossil fuels
When air is clean and oceans too
When we stop all the fuel trains
