I’m a Raging Granny,
A real hootenanny,
Protesting in song,
Calling right from wrong.
Without coming from hate,
We sing “Potentate!”
For as we’re getting older,
We grow fiercer and bolder.
We take tunes well-known,
Stitch new lyrics, neatly sewn.
Funny, sharp, or critical,
And always very lyrical.
Like …
“Now You’ve Pissed Off Grandma,”
A cheeky way to raise the bar.
Then, “Hey Mr. Tangerine Man” —
We know exactly who you are.
But listen…
We don’t just rage and rant,
We’ve also got a mighty chant:
“E Pluribus Unum!” loud and clear,
Out of many, one! For all to hear.
Stamped upon our nation’s Great Seal,
A united emblem, strong and real.
And though this Granny loves a roar,
My heart still hopes for something more:
That love will win, that truth will stay,
And kindness always lead the way.
So, friends of Grannies, hear our song:
Speak up! Speak out! Stand proud! Stand strong!
