Sister Suffragette

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"
