"Sister Suffragette" Lyrics

We're clearly soldiers in petticoats,
Dauntless crusaders for women's votes!
Though we adore men individually,
We agree that as a group, they're rather stupid.

Cast off the shackles of yesterday,
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray,
Our daughters' daughters' will adore us,
And they'll sing in gratefull chorus,
Well done! Sister Suffragette!

From Kensington to Billigsgate,
One hears the restless cries,
From every corner of the land,
Womankind, ARISE!
Political equality,
And equal rights with men,
Take heart for Mrs. Pankhurst,
Has been clapped in irons again!

No more the meek and mild subservients, we,
We're fighting for our rights miletently,
NEVER YOU FEAR!

SO! Cast off the shackles of yesterday,
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray,
Our daughters' daughters' will adore us,
And they'll sing in gratefull chorus,
Well done,
Well done,
Well done, Sister Suffragette.
