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 daughter's daughter's 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
And shoulder to shoulder into the fray
Our daughter's daughter's will adore us
And they'll sing in grateful chorus
Well done, well done, well done, Sister Suffragette
