When Johnny goes marching off to war
Boo hoo, boo hoo
Who will care for his wife and child?
Boo hoo, boo hoo?

Ordered to kill his brothers out there
It'll make him feel like a murderer
Boo hoo, boo hoo
Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo

War is hell; refuse to go
Say NO, say NO
They can't have a war if no one goes
Say NO, Say NO

We'll stand beside you our brave friends
These Raging Grannies will never bend
Till there is no war and people live in peace

Virginia Haynes and Patricia Lay-Dorsey
 

THE WRONG WAY
(tune: It's a Long Way to Tipperary)

War's the wrong way to solve a problem
It makes everything worse.
Leaving loved ones broken-hearted
While you get trained to kill.
Just the thought of such a prospect
Gives us grannies a chill:

Just say NO (shout)
Refuse to go (shout)
Let Bush go himself! (sing loudly)

Virginia Haynes
