Lyrics sample - 

Suffragettes Votes for women!

Men Know your place!

Suffragettes Give us the vote!

Men You’re a disgrace!

Suffragettes

Well, you can put us in prison,

Send us to jail.

Suffragettes keep marching on:

We shall prevail!

We have your newspaper headline

Please make a note.

Women fight for equal rights (x3)

Give us the vote!
