SING IT to the tune of When the Saints Come Marching In
When Raging Grans / come marching in,
When Raging Grans come marching in.
We invite you to be in that number
When Raging Grans come marching in.
We’ve got to turn our lives around.
We’ve got to turn our world around.
We’re singing for peace on our planet
And for clean water, air, and ground.
Our common future / starts today,
To those in power we say “Hey –
You’d better listen to the Raging Grannies’ clamour;
We’re empowered and we’re on our way!
