CHANT - When I Say, You Say:
New York…Mamdani
New Jersey… Sherrill
Virginia…Spanberger
California...Prop 50
Winners…Democrats
See you…Next Week
Donald Trump went into town
a-riding down the stairs
Told us he’d create new jobs
But they aren’t anywhere.
Chorus:
Donald Trump just lies to us
Does it to us daily
Then he just denies it all
To stay out of the jail-y.
After four years we did vote
A-chucking him from office
Although he claimed the votes were rigged
He did not get in office. (CHORUS)
Another four years went by, and
Donnie ran again
Even with those felonies
The dummies voted for him. (CHORUS)
Jeff and Donnie took a plane
to a private island
When they got there they did things
that should get Donnie canned. (CHORUS)
Now he seems to have dementia,
Can’t pronounce big words.
Dreams that he can fly a jet
That spews out lots of turds. (CHORUS)
Here we stand and we protest
Just like our founding fathers
Wish he’d go so far away
And stop being a bother. (CHORUS)
Now we go to town each week
Displaying all our signs,
Hoping for the days ahead
When all this is behind! (CHORUS)

March
The Spanish lyrics mean - hey yo, my people we
bring the strength. Liberation for all is our only flag.
Oye mi gente traemos la fuerza
La libertad es mi única bandera
Rise up my people, my condors, my eagles
No human being will ever be illegal
Stand up! Speak out! Stay Strong!
Call: "Show me what democracy looks like!" Response: "This is what democracy looks like!"
"Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Donald Trump has got to go!"
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway;
I saw below me that golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.
I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding;
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
America (My Country 'tis of Thee)
My country, 'tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let Freedom ring.
Call: Rise up proud, don’t look away!
Response: We make history every day!
Call: No crown needed, just our voice!
Response: We the people make the choice!
Call: Power’s ours, we light the way!
Response: This is our No Kings Day!
(sing-song marching cadence)
Call: I DON’T KNOW BUT I’VE BEEN TOLD
ECHO: I DON’T KNOW BUT I’VE BEEN TOLD
THE PEOPLE HERE ARE MIGHTY BOLD

THERE”S ONE THING THAT’S CLEAR TO ME

THE PEOPLE HERE HAVE UNITY

LIES AND THREATS WILL NOT DIVIDE
