[WINIFRED BANKS] 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 ev´ry corner of the land: "Womankind, arise!" Political equality and equal rights with men Take heart, for Missus 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!
[WINIFRED, ELLEN, and MRS. BRILL] So, cast off the shackles of yesterday! Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
[WINIFRED BANKS] Our daughters´ daughters will adore us
[WINIFRED, ELLEN, and MRS. BRILL] And they´ll sing in grateful chorus: "Well done! Well done! Well done, Sister Suffragette!"
