We're clearly soldiers in petticoats
and dauntless crusaders
for womens' 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 grateful chorus
"Well done, Sister Suffragette!"
From Kensington to Billingsgate
one hears the restless cries!
from ev'ry corner of the land:
"Womankind, arise!"
Political equality
and equal rights with men!
Take heart, for Missus 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!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
and they'll sing in grateful chorus
"Well done! Well done!
Well done, Sister Suffragette!"
