Lyrics

[00:01.11] We're clearly soldiers in petticoats
[00:04.82] And dauntless crusaders for women's votes
[00:09.33] Though we adore men individually
[00:13.24] We agree that as a group they're rather stupid
[00:18.74] Cast off the shackles of yesterday
[00:22.41] Shoulder to shoulder into the fray
[00:26.46] Our daughters' daughters will adore us
[00:29.88] And they'll sing in grateful chorus
[00:34.06] Well done
[00:36.19] Sister Suffragette
[00:40.27] From Kensington to Billingsgate
[00:42.65] One hears the restless cries
[00:44.98] From every corner of the land
[00:46.64] Womankind, arise
[00:48.72] Political equality
[00:50.42] And equal rights with men
[00:52.58] Take heart, for Mrs. Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again
[00:57.07] No more the meek and mild subservients, we
[01:02.84] We're fighting for our rights
[01:05.97] Militantly
[01:07.95] Never you fear
[01:13.24] So, cast off the shackles of yesterday
[01:17.00] Shoulder to shoulder into the fray
[01:20.77] Our daughters' daughters will adore us
[01:25.81] And they'll sing in grateful chorus
[01:31.37] Well done
[01:33.23] Well done
[01:35.08] Well done
[01:36.61] Sister Suffragette
[01:41.24]
