YANKEE DOODLE GEORGIE
(Tune: "Yankee Doodle Dandy")

Georgie Porgie is the prez
'Tho he was not elected.
Said he'd finish Daddy's war
And thought he'd be respected.

CHORUS:
Georgie Porgie, you're all wrong
Bombs are not the answer!
You can take your stupid war
And stick it in your pants, sir!

Georgie Porgie cut the taxes
For the country's richest.
The poor will pay to fight his war
While George saves his own britches.

CHORUS

Georgie Porgie sends our troops
To fight and to be killed, and
They come home in body bags
While poor folks pay the bill.

CHORUS

Georgie Porgie's sittin' pretty
While our kids are dying.
He says that war's the way to peace,
But we know that he's lying.

IT'S TIME FOR ELECTION REFORM
(Tune: Johnny's So Long At the Fair)

CHORUS:
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Big money is killing democracy,
Our elections are fraught with hypocrisy
No one can run if they're poor.

Our taxes are cut but that's just for the wealthy,
While poor people cannot afford to stay healthy!
Our tax money's wasted on bombs that are stealthy.
It's time for election reform.

CHORUS

They own all the newspapers and TV stations
They lie through their teeth to the folks in the nation
Our voting procedure's an abomination!
It's time for election reform.

They get the big contracts without even bidding
And rake in big bucks - now who are they kidding/
We Grannies are ragin'; we won't just be knitting
We'll work for election reform.

CHORUS:
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Big money is killing democracy,
Our elections are fraught with hypocrisy,
That's gonna change in oh-four!

ARE YOU SLEEPING? (NO TO WAR)
(Tune: Frere Jacques)

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping,
Uncle Sam? Uncle Sam?
Anti-war bells ringing
Hear the people singing
"No to war, No to war"
