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 My Country 'Tis of Thee
(lower voices)
Bring rebels to their knees.
We need some expertise:
Call SOA!
Send our best men to learn
To torture, shock, and burn
Those who-o fo-or freedom yearn–
The-ey must obey!
(higher voices)
Let not this shame resound
To all the world around–
End SOA!
Too many now have died.
Regain our pilgrims’ pride.
From e’e-vry-y mountain side
Le-et freedom ring!
