Lyrics Sister Suffragette - The Cast of Mary Poppins

Sister Suffragette

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!
So, 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!
Well done!
Well done, Sister Suffragette!»
