Sister Suffragette Songtext
von Glynis Johns

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 daughters' daughters 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
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray
Our daughters′ daughters will adore us
And they'll sing in grateful chorus

Well done
Well done
Well done
Sister Suffragette
