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 welfare grants meet basic needs,
When welfare grants meet basic needs,
How I want to be in that number,
When welfare grants meet basic needs.
Variations:
When no one is without a home…
When mothers’ work gets some respect…
When workers get a living wage…
When poverty has been erased…
