Sister Suffragette

Sister Suffragette - Glynis Johns

We're clearly soldiers in petticoats

And 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 daughter's daughter's will adore us

And they'll sing in grateful chorus

Well done sister suffragette

From kensington to billingsgate 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 militantly

Never you fear

So cast off the shackles of yesterday

And shoulder to shoulder into the fray

Our daughter's daughter's will adore us

And they'll sing in grateful chorus

Well done well done well done sister suffragette
