Granny Song for the California Supreme Court
tune: Frosty the Snowman

Oh~! We're the Raging Grannies and we're asking you today
PLEASE rePEAL Proposition 8, it's the California way!
MEAN-while we're angry, and we're moving to the streets
Where we'll stand and show, all across our state
We will not accept defeat

Our marriage rights are basic rights
That can't be overturned
Remember that there IS no wrath
Like a Raging Granny spurned!

We stand together, now in solidarity
Our march starts here, and when we win
We'll go down in history!
