Lyrics sample -
Suffragettes Votes for women!
Men Know your place!
Suffragettes Give us the vote!
Men You’re a disgrace!
Suffragettes
Well, you can put us in prison,
Send us to jail.
Suffragettes keep marching on:
We shall prevail!
We have your newspaper headline
Please make a note.
Women fight for equal rights (x3)
Give us the vote!
