Sister Suffragette
Performed by: Mrs. Bank (Glynis Johns)
Written by: Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
We're clearly soldiers in petticoats;
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 daughters will adore us;
And they'll sing in grateful chorus,
“Well done, Sister Suffragettes!”
From Kensington to Billingsgate, one hears the restless cry.
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 subservience we;
We're fighting for our rights militantly—-never you fear!
So, cast of the shackles of yesterday;
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray.
Our daughter's daughters will adore us;
And they'll sing in grateful chorus,
“Well done! Well done! Well done, Sister Suff—”
