    Lyrics:

    We're clearly soldiers in petticoats
    And dauntless crusaders for woman'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 daughters' daughters will adore us
    And they'll sign in grateful chorus
    "Well done, Sister Suffragette!"

    From Kensington to Billingsgate
    One hears the restless cries!
    From ev'ry corner of the land:
    "Womankind, arise!"
    Political equality and equal rights with men!
    Take heart! For Missus Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!

    No more the meek and mild subservients we!
    We're fighting for our rights, militantly!
    Never you fear!

    So, cast off the shackles of yesterday!
    Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
    Our daughters' daughters will adore us
    And they'll sign in grateful chorus
    "Well done! Well done!
    Well done Sister Suffragette!"
