Horrible Histories - Suffragette's Song songtekst

Je score:

we are the suffragettes, think you  know some fierce girls? You ain't heard nothing yet.

A lass called Milli Fawcett founder of our cause, started the battle for our rights
Argued the government should change the laws, here is how she stated applied
How comes girls can't vote for rules that we have to obey? When we work and pay taxes too!
Parliment's reaction was "oh do go away!" How dare they diss the suffrage crew?

Suffragettes sing, we're gonna do this thing, peaceful protests started in 1903
Got no reaction needed drastic action, got a new leader Emmeline Pankhurst "that's me"

Burst down to parliment shouting votes for women, actions though were shocking and new
Chained ourselves to palace gates, tension was brimming on the WSAP and U
Burned down churches, smashed up shops, attacked MPs, the result we were thrown in jail
This made us more determined as you'll come to see "think we'd give up fighting? hey fail!"

They still said no but we just said yo! You won't stop us now
"Miss Davidson please take the mic"

We became more extreme, darby day June 13, 
In front of king and queen, committed sacrifice supreme
Crept unseen between the team and crowds watching the race
And threw myself under a horse to try and make our case
Became a famous martyr, how did men react?
"we can't give women votes if they're so stupid they'll do that!"

Seemed our cause was lost when world war came along 
Our suffragette reaction was to wave our protests goodbye, farewell, so long to patriotic action.
Put down our banners saying give us votes,  instead supported the men's fight, 
Want to help them win the war so guess what they said... "Okay ladies.... you were right!"

Suffragettes sing, we done it ding-ding, at last those men see they should treat us the same
So all take note now women can vote and it's thanks to those who fought in the suffragette name
