If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.

Chorus:
Get out and vote! (snap, snap)
Get out and vote! (snap, snap)
Get out and vote! Get out and vote!
Get out and vote! (snap, snap)
It’s time to take a stand
On issues in the land.
Don’t bury your head in sand–
Get off your duff and vote!

Young and old alike
Claim our hard fought fight.
Exercise that right:
Get off your duff and vote!

Don’t gripe if you have not
Marked the ballot spot
To register your thought.
Get off your duff and vote!

Vote by absentee.
Keep this country free.
