(Oh yeah!)And now we pull down on the lever,Cast our ballots and we endeavorTo improve our country, state, county,town, and school.(Tell `em `bout it!)Those pilgrim women who ...who braved the boatCould cook the turkey, but they ...they could not vote.Even Betsy ROSS who sewed the flag wasleft behind that first election day.(What a shame, Sisters!)Then Susan B.

Lucretia Mott, (and others!) theyshowed us how;They carried signs and marched in linesUntil at long last the law was passed.Oh, we were suffering until suffrage,Not a woman here could vote, no matter whatage,Then the nineteenth amendmentstruck down that restrictive rule (Oh yeah!)And now we pull down on the lever,Cast our ballots and we endeavorTo improve our country, state, county,town, and school. (Right on! Right on!)Yes, the nineteenth amendmentStruck down that restrictive rule. (Right on! Righton!)Yes, the nineteenth amendmentStruck down that restrictive rule.Yeah YeahYeah YeahRight on!We got it now!Since 1920 ...Sisters, unite!Vote on
