Songs for Lesbopalooza
Hey, this is happening Saturday at noon. We will meet at 11:45 for a quick practice inside the central entry at Collins-LLC. 10th and Woodlawn – SW corner.
Tune: When the Saints go Marching In
When everyone has equal rights
When everyone has equal rights
Oh how I want to be in that number
When everyone has equal rights
When health care is a right for all……
When we make peace instead of war……
When taxes go for schools not jails…..
When corporate rule is history……
When gays are free to live their lives…….
When old growth trees, are left to stand…..

Some Songs for Obama
Granny Shirly from the e-vine contributed this:
Obama, We Don’t Need the War
(Tune: “It Ain’t Necessarily So”)
Lyrics by Shirley Littman of the NYC Metro Raging Grannies
Obama, we don’t need the war.
We don’t want the war anymore.
We told our last leader,
But he was a cheater :
“We don’t want the war anymore.”
Obama, get out of Iraq.
Get out and don’t ever go back!
We’re glad you’re elected ,
And now you’re expected,
To pull out the troops from Iraq.
Obama we send you this song,
It’s not that you’ll never go wrong.
But we must remind you,
That we stand behind you,
Just pull out where we don’t belong!
Granny Nora added:
Kudos to Shirley for coming up with this right on time! It occurred to me that we also need to address the Afghanistan issue, since Obama has repeatedly said he believes that we need to redouble our efforts there, to “catch” Osama bin Laden. So here is another verse to the same song:
More fighting in Afghanistan
Is part of the same lousy plan
Civilians are dying
In this war you’re buying
Obama, we need a new plan

Here come the Brides
Here Come the Brides
(Tune: “Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin”)
Here come the Grooms,
What does it matter,
Who marries whom???
Why should you care?
Life should be fair
And people should marry
Whomever they choose.
Gays will stand tall
When love conquers all,
And rights will be equal
For one and for all.

A song for Gay Marriage
Gay Marriage
(Tune: “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”)
Let’s sing out for our citizens
Hip hip, hurray
For every sexuality
Both straight, and gay
Isn’t it fine for us to see
A little more diversity
And we’ll ALL feel gay when
Gay marriage is allowed.
Get ready for that happy day,
We’ll sing and shout
When wedding bells will ring out loud
Then we’ll sing out!
WON’T it be fine when all of us
Have EQUAL rights without a fuss,
And we’ll ALL feel gay when
Gay marriage is allowed.
That WOULD be a cause to celebrate,
A time to cheer,
When everyone’s thinking isn’t straight
For once, my dear!
Sexuality isn’t straight
There’s SOME things you can’t legislate;
And we’ll ALL feel gay when
Gay marriage is allowed!
Thanks to Granny Vicki in San Franscisco!

Would any of you have an interest in gathering and raging in DC for the Inauguration on Jan. 20?
FYI: The granny e-vine has sent a message to all USA raging grannies asking if there is interest in an effort to show our faces at the Presidential inauguration on January 20th. This is something to be discussed at the next meeting, and a response can be made to the evine after that point. Granny Vicki (an evine coordinator) is offering to do the organizing if there are enough U.S. raging grannies wanting to participate.
