Sister Suffragette
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman; Robert B. Sherman
First release by: Glynis Johns - 1964



We're clearly soldiers in petticoats
And dauntless crusader for women's votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they're rather stupid

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, sister suffragette"

From Kensington to Billingsgate
One hears the restless cries
From every corner of the land
Womenkind, arise

Political equality
And equal right with men
Take heart for Mrs. Pankhurst
Has been clapped on iron again

No more the meek and mild subservients 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 suffragette
