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 This Old Man

This old man, he had one
SOGgy piece of HOT dog bun.
With a nick nack paddy wack
To the compost bin
He GRINNED and simply tossed it in.

This small town, it had two
WINDmills spinning as AIR blew through
With a nick nack paddy wack
HARness all the wind
Catch e-LEC-tricity, WATCH ‘em spin.

My friend’s folks, they drive three
CARpools for my FRIENDS and me
With a nick nack paddy wack
FILLing every seat
Saves gas every TIME we meet.

This old man, he bought four
Amtrac passes to the shore
With a nick nack paddy wack
Moving people fast
TRAINS can help our PLAnet last.

This old woman, she bought five
COOLer bulbs with LONGer lives
With a nick nack paddy wack
More efficienCY
LIGHTS save E-lecTRICity.

This old man, he saw six
HYbrid cars do MILEage tricks
With a nick nack paddy wack
PLUS a battery
SAVE on fuel eCONomy.
