Know the tune Goodnight, Ladies? You're ready.
Record your gaggle singing it and we'll feature it here.
- 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.
Listen to our manly cheers,
As we set the clock back years,
No more burning your brassieres,
You’ll give up your careers.
Chorus
Maybe we just won’t have sex,
Won’t have sex,
Won’t have sex,
Maybe we just won’t have sex,
And then we’ll see what’s next!
We say no to birth control,
That’s our right and that’s our role,
It’s pregnancy that we extol,
And no does not mean no!
We have no need to abstain,
We’ll be back on top again (again),
All your progress down the drain,
Our joy we can’t contain.
Chorus
Your bodies now belong to men,
Bless the lord and say amen,
Everyone is born again,
We’ll keep you in your place.
Chorus
Suggested intro:
We really just won’t let it go.
All of us women must let them know,
We’ll win the war no matter what,
Or they may never see another twat!
