The Raging Granny Can Can
Lyrics by Sulima Malzin
Here we come the Raging Grannies
Got up off our fannies
Just because we can can can can can (5x) (kicking)
And so can you.
If you walk toward trouble
Burst out of your bubble
You can help us KickOut KickOut KickOut KickOut (4x)
Sleazy weasels in high places
In the mid-term races
We can vote them out
Vote Them Out
Vote Them Out
VOTE
THEM
OUT !!!

ARE YOU VOTING THIS TIME?
Lyrics by River Montijo, ukulele by Cindy Workman
Are you voting this time?
Are you voting this time?
Are you sorry you skipped it before?
With a Court that’s unfit,
And a Congress that’s split
We can’t get our foot in the door.
Will you stand for the rights
Of your sisters out there?
Would you like our environment in hands that care?
With our country in pain
Let us ask you again
Tell us, friends…
Are you voting this time?
Are you voting this time?
Are you voting this time?
Do you want to restore women’s choice?
While the climate fires rage
And Corona’s a plague,
Remember your vote is your voice.
Doncha think that it’s time
we replaced those mean brats
With a congress who will act much better than that?
So here comes our refrain:
Let us ask you again
Tell us, friends…
Are you voting this time?
No one should be disenfranchised because of where they live, the color of their skin or their income. But we have witnessed a strategic and sustained effort by the President and his political allies to suppress the vote and undermine our electoral process – all with the intention of illegally maintaining power and subverting the will of the people. But we won’t let him divide us. Already we are joining together across our differences to vote in record numbers, and, if necessary, we are prepared to take to the streets to defend our democracy.
This action was organized the the Defend Democracy Coalition. We are joining together across our differences to vote in record numbers, and, if necessary, we are prepared to take to the streets to defend our democracy.
The Portland Raging Grannies attended to support the marches through dance.
A few photos from the event.
The Portland Raging Grannies sing about getting out to vote, and being thoughtful about choosing the candidate.
