| Grannies is to promote global peace, justice, and social and economic equality by raising public awareness through the medium of song and humor. Our goal is to challenge our audiences to work to bring about the social changes that are required in order to end economic oppression, particularly of women and children,and to end racial inequality, environmental destruction, human rights violations, and arms proliferation. We use tunes of old songs and write lyrics to fit what we sing about. We are challenged to keep step with current issues. What Are We Raging About? We are enraged about the poor conditions that people are forced to endure in their lives, and about the condition of the earth that will be left to our precious grandchildren. We sing out to gain respect for all persons and encourage everyone to grow above their prejudices. We rage against "corporate greed" and sign for "one world" in which JUSTICE is evident everywhere and PEACE reigns. Do you wanna be a Raging Grannie? WILPF’s outrageous singers invite new members!

"Georgie porgie,
you're all wrong,
Bombs are not the answer
You can take your stupid war
and stick it in your pants, Sir!"
DOO DAH
(tune: Camptown Racetrack)
We’re Raging Grannies
Singing our songs.
Doo dah, doo dah.
We’re Raging Grannies
Singing our songs
All the doo dah day!
Gonna rage and roar,
Gonna stop all war.
We’re Raging Grannies
Singing our songs
All the doo dah day!
We’re Raging Grannies
Singing our songs.
Doo dah, doo dah.
We’re Raging Grannies
Singing our songs
Gonna roar all night,
Gonna rage all day.
Together we’ll build a better world—
Let’s make a start today!
NO BUSINESS LIKE WAR BUSINESS
There’s no business like war business
The worst business we know
Never mind the homeless and the hungry,
Never mind the people without jobs
Nowhere can you get that special feeling
Than when you’re – piling up the bombs.
There’s no business like war business
The best business we know
Multinational profits going through the sky
They multiply while children die
The same amount buys food and clothes
For everyone all over the world.
RIGHT TO BE HEARD
(tune: Puff the Magic Dragon)
Without the right to protest
Where would we be?
There’d be no votes for women yet
And no democracy.
Blacks still segregated
The poor would have no schools
Small tots still working in the mines
While rich folk set the rules.
Now we’re going backward
The Patriot Act is in
Detaining people without cause
Should be a cardinal sin
Good people, see what’s going on
Find power in the word.
The right to speak for what is right
Your right to be heard.
Now there’s silent searches
They’re taking all our rights
Protesters are called terrorists
Who dare to rage and fight
Good people, see what’s going on
Find power in the word.
The right to speak for what is right
Your right is to be heard.
