A pertinent anthem to play as you read along. Thank you Helen Reddy. I needed you today. Oh, and Mr. Orange-Elect, I am woman! You are going to have to deal with that!
I am woman, hear my voice
I’m not giving you much choice
Mr. Orange, I will make you understand
‘Cause you’ve said some nasty stuff
And you can’t shut up enough
You’re a narcissistic, evil preaching man
Oh yes, I am shrewd
And there’s many more like me
We all know you are lewd
We know just who we see
If we have to, we can make your life hell
We can march
(March)
We can protest your hate
(Protest your hate)
We are women
I am Jewish, hear me now
And I never will allow
Your alt-right lovin’ staff appointees to succeed
“Cause we’ve seen this all before
We’ll not back down or ignore
Your swampy tycoon cabinet, it will just recede
Oh yes we are smart
By the millions you will see
We will not tolerate hate
Or a Muslim registry
If we have to, we will make your life hell
We can march
(March)
We will protest your laws
(Protest your laws)
We are women
I am lesbian, proud and strong
Married with children, can’t be wrong
And you can’t take that from anyone, not me
‘Cause we earned our rights today
By the Supremes, we’re out, we’re gay
Mr. Orange-elect, we will not be your prey
Oh yes, we are LGBT
And you know someone like me
We will not let you steal our beautiful families
if we have to we will face anything
We are strong
(Strong)
We have equality
(Equality)
We are women
I am woman
I am invincible
I am Jewish
I am invincible
I am Lesbian
I am invincible
We are Women

Brilliant! I’m singing along with you xx

Lisa I think we could do this. Gather up some women- friends and allies – each gets a few lines, records, sends it back to you. Figure out how to edit them together and done. It could be ah-mazing. I’ll do it. I bet ya Heather Keet and Lola the Bulldog would do it too! We can always reach out to Nathalie Laitmon at Suburban Misfit Mom- there are a LOOOOOT of great fun writers at that publication.

I’m figuring that out. My guess is we each film ourselves, or ourselves with others singing the song I wrote. I get a Dropbox for us all to share. And then I splice something together with everyone. Women everywhere! Amazing to think about.

M’wah! What if I start and sing on video, open a dropbox folder to share and then you add yours, and we get the others who have agreed to join in the fun. Then I can play splice and dice and get us something powerful? Do you think it will work? I am really excited by your idea! Thanks for the RT too #coolmumsclub ❤ ❤ ❤
