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 Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Wake up, America!
Work for peace, not war.
Justice, freedom and rights for all
Are what we’re standing for.
Take down the wall in Palestine
Export arms no more.
Scrap the plans to bomb Iran.
Don’t start another war!
Wake up America!
It’s time to work for peace.
No more bombs, missiles, or guns,
Making war must cease.
