Know the tune Pack Up Your Troubles? You're ready.
Record your gaggle singing it and we'll feature it here.
How to read the marks
Bold word Strong beat
Italic word Inflection / stress
[Chorus] Section label
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 Pack Up Your Troubles
Don’t use our taxes to build submarines
Stop making missiles
And think! think! think!
Think of the jobs and schools and homes we need,
Change from war to peace.
Roads and bridges crumbling
Water not fit to drink, (someone coughs or chokes)
So, put folk to work on meeting people’s needs.
And stamp out war.
