We are learning this song in school!

We're clearly soldiers in petticoats And dauntless crusaders for woman's votes Though we adore men individually (sigh)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 sign in grateful chorus"Well done, Sister Suffragette!"From Delaware to Oregon One hears the restless cries!From ev'ry corner of the land:"Woman,kind, arise!"Political equality and equal rights with men!Take heart! For Susan B. Anthony 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 sign in grateful chorus"Well done!(STOMP! STOMP) Well done!(STOM! STOMP!) Well done Sister Suffragette!"
