THE WTO SONG
(tune: When Johnny Comes Marching Home)
When the World Trade Organization meets,
Beware! Beware!
They're making deals to help the rich,
Take care! Take care!
They want control of education,
Health care, agriculture
They'll march right on unless we make them stop!
When Chretien marches out and says,
Trust me! Trust me!
Don't believe he'll save the day,
He won't! He won't!
If the WTO gets its way,
All of us will have to pay,
If corporations rule the day, we'll all say nay! nay! nay!
When corporations march along
Watch out! Watch out!
Monsanto, Shell and Exxon, Dow and
General Electric, too!
The Big Boys want to have it all,
They call the shots and governments bow,
But people power says, "Boys, stop your greed now!"
Let's all march out and shout aloud,
Hold on! Hold on!
The WTO should change its ways
To help the world!
Let's protect democracy,
Environment, our human kin
Then we can say the world won,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
(Granny Eleanor Hart, Woodstock Raging Grannies)
T-T-T-TOPLESS!
(tune: K-k-k-Katie)
T-t-t-topless, we're gonna go topless,
It's the modern thing to do in Ontario
You know it will cost less if we all go bare breast
No more bras or t-shirts, that's the way to go!
It seems that a Guelph miss took a stroll shirtless
Said if men can do it, so can all of us
She went to court where a fun-loving judge there
Decided it's OK and won't cause any fuss.
We've been given our rights, Dude, to walk around half nude
It's a big step forward for all women now
So straighten your shoulder, be a little bit bolder
Got to strut your stuff and let it all hang out!
(Granny Joan Savoy, Woodstock Raging Grannies)
