SONG FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD – Plan A Baby With Me

Rose — Wed, 11 May 2011 14:26:46 +0000

Tune: Come & Go With Me
BABY PLAN WITH ME!
Baby, no baby, baby, no baby
Bay-be, no baby
Baby, no baby, baby, no baby, baby
Ba-be, no baby, baby,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoaaaaa
I need some info
Come & go with me
Planned parenthood
I need to see
Before I’m preggers
Sort it out with me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoaaaaa!

Get, get, get, get
Get that info clear
Tell me darling
Before a baby’s here
You will support us
Sort it out with me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoaaaaa!

Yes we need them
Yes, we really need them
Please let them be around
When we’re getting knocked up
Before everything is cocked up
Just give them a chance!
IMITATE SAX SOLO HERE – DANCE. Snap Fingers
Come, come, come, come
Come into my head
Tell me darling
That you’ve really read
Their ad-vice, darling
Come and go with me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoaaaaa

Just give them a chance!

I love life darling
Don’t you see?
Plan for a baby
And we’ll be
Happier always
Come & go with me

Come see them with me
Baby, no baby, baby, no baby
Ba-be, no baby
Come see them with me
Baby, no baby
Come on, go with me!

MY SONG SUPPORTING THE CBC

Rose — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 11:37:11 +0000

The link to see the youtube video which we’ve just put together is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemCeo9-Vzg You can access it directly at the bottom of my ‘links’ column on the right hand side. It is under Youtube videos, (alphabetically). Just click & it will take you right to the video.

Now I’ll see if I can add the sheet music here. Nope. It’s a PDF file. Any ideas about how to do this, please let me know.
This is my dear husband who is on the far right in the video in this great shirt I got him just before Christmas which looks as though it had tiny imbedded totem poles in the fabric.
More later. Go see the video, eh? (You’ll note I cut out, ‘Big fat Tory hands’ as many Tories DO support the CBC and don’t deserve the ridicule.

ONLY ANGELS NAMED HAROLD SING

Rose — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 12:21:54 +0000

Tune: Hark The Herald A
Hark! Angels named Harold sing
All the rest don’t say a thing
Angels Ken and Mike and Pete
Do not make a single peep!
Against tradition we will go
Include old angels Hank and Joe
All of them should get a chance
Christmas carols to enhance
Like Olive in that reindeer song
Let all the angels sing along!

DON’T GO TOUCHING OUR CBC!

Rose — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 23:01:18 +0000

CBC Song
Tune: Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree
CHORUS: Don’t go touching our CBC
It means too much to me
Hinting you’ll close it down
Cutting its funding back
No, no, no,
Don’t go playing
Political games
With our wonderful CBC
Restore those cutbacks now!
VERSE 1 –
CBC we want you to remember your roots
Private media-that’s not you. You belong
To our country so speak to our country
Do what we need you to do!
CHORUS
V2 -
I just got back from
Seeing a guy who worked at the CBC
Now he’s out of a job and his show’s
All gone – he was Mr. Music to me!
CHORUS
VERSE 3
All over this country some things
Unite us, I say that’s the CBC.
It belongs to the people not
Fat politicians who should be history!
CHORUS
VERSE 4
Keep a watch out won’t you, for rips
in our country and those who would
tear it down. We can mend it quick
if we just stick together and make
a great big sound: (ALTOGETHER NOW!)
CHORUS

SAVE OUR PRISON FARMS SONG 2 – LITTLE TINY BRAINS (TUNE: Do Your Ears Hang Low?)

Rose — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:18:39 +0000

Little tiny brains (waggle heads fetchingly back & forth)
In the federal government
They wobble to and fro
Where ‘ere they’re sent
When they sell our farms
They are showing their
LITTLE TINY BRAINS (Lightly cuff head unbelievingly)
2)
The Correctional Service
Says they’re saving dough
When they sell our famrs
But this ain’t so
The cost goes up
In society
due to TINY BRAINS!
(SING first verse again)
3) Stupid sat with dumb
And they both asked how
Can we show we’re doing something?
‘Hey! Let’s sell the cows.
At promotion time
They’ll remember us!”
LITTLE TINY BRAINS!
(REPEAT FIRST VERSE)

SAVE OUR PRISON FARMS SONG 1 (DEEP IN THE HEART OF KINGSTON) Tune: Deep In The Heart of Texas

Rose — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:10:43 +0000

1) They’re shutting down
Our prison farms
Deep in the heart of Kingston (clap-clap-clap)
Greedy idiots
Doing harm
Deep in the heart of Kingston (clap-clap-clap)
2) The heart of Kingston
Reaches out (clap-clap-clap)
To prison farms
around us (clap-clap-clap)
Keep all the cows
Yes, keep the lot
This is the word from Kingston! (clap-clap-clap)
*Make up your own verses – it’s easy!

3 STOOGES & BP OIL (Tune: White Sports Coat & Pink Carnation) – Pratfalls In The Oil Biz

Rose — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 10:06:44 +0000

(Tune: White Sports Coat & A Pink Carnation)
by Rose DeShaw
The Three
Stooges
and BP Oil
Trussed us all up
For their dance
The three
Stooges
Pratfall with BP
Eye gouge with
Right wing rants.
Once they told us
Long ago
They were going green
You know
Now they changed their mind
It seems
Not a money-making scheme
The Three
Stooges
Drilled a hole too deep there
And now they all say:
‘Oooops!’
2) The Three
Stooges
Fiddling with
Our ocean
They screwed it up
Noody checked
On their credentials
It’s too late now
They’ve had other toxic sites
In Alaska what a blight
Gulls and seals, lying dead
“It is not our fault,” they said
The Three Stooges
Understand the pratfall:
“For this blame SOMEONE ELSE!”
3) The 3
Stooges
Larry, Moe
and Curley,
Known here by
Different names
Haliburton, Transocean & BP
We know they’re
All the same
“Oh it’s not our fault,”
They cry.
“We were just there,
standing by,
When somebody drilled a hole,
Who it was we still don’t know -
The 3 Stooges
Larry, Moe and Curley
Give us their oil dance.

GAZA TZENA SONG

Rose — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:44:48 +0000

Gaza, Gaza, Gaza, Gaza
O your troubles are
Too big for me
Gaza, Gaza, Gaza, Gaza
So I’ll close my ears
And shut my eyes
Gaza, Gaza, dance instead
No bombs are falling
La, La, La I cannot hear
my fingers in my ear!

Gaza, Gaza, with my eyes shut
One, two, three, four,
No one dying anymore
Gaza, Gaza, won’t it mend
If I pretend?
Gaza, Gaza, Gaza!

Gaza, Gaza, Gaza, Gaza
Take away this blindness
From my eyes
Gaza, Gaza, Gaza, Gaza,
Help me clearly see
What is disguised

Gaza, Gaza, join with every nation
Let us sit with contemplation
Till at last no bombs are falling
Nothing more to fear

Gaza, Gaza, we are trying
One, two, three, four
Keep the children here from dying
Gaza, Gaza,
Our heart’s crying
Gaza, Gaza, Gaza!
(repeat verses)

GAZA THE ANCIENT PLACE

Rose — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:35:37 +0000

I wrote this song last April when grandmothers I knew were tryng to get to Gaza. There are several more.

Posted: 04/29/09 Author: Rose DeShaw
Tune: The Water Is Wide (Old English Folk)

1)The Gaza Strip
is in the news
The push is on,
to make us choose
We have to say,
we choose the young
From every place
this war goes on

2) And we choose peace,
diplomacy
Cease fire and talk
Till all agree
The truth we know
is larger than
The chill of hate
The wrongs of man

3) The Gaza Strip’s
An acient place
A marker for
The human race
Its name is in
Our holy books
A place on which
The whole world looks

4) No war is worth
A child’s death
We say with every
Tongue and breath
And here on Gaza
Where we stand
Let killing cease
Within this land

50 Ways To Leave Our HARPER!

Rose — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 13:01:09 +0000

“The problem is all inside the Hill,” she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
Michelle Jean can help in our struggle to be free
There must be 50 ways to leave our HARPER!
It’s true, it’s really not our habit to intrude
Futhermore the message mustn’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat at the risk of being crude
There must be 50 ways to leave our HARPER
50 ways to leave our HARPER!
You just put him out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Put him on the bus, Gus
Don’t need to discuss much
Have him drop off the key, see
Get ourselves free
Oh put him out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Put him on the bus, Gus
Don’t need to discuss much
Have him drop off the key, see
Set ourselves free
O it grieves us to see our country in such pain
Isn’t there something we could do to make us smile again
We said we appreciate that and would you please explain
About the 50 ways
We shouldn’t just sleep on it tonight
It’s morning now, we begin to see the light
Watch out for kissing up, it makes us see that this was probably right
There must be 50 ways to leave our HARPER
50 ways to leave our HARPER!
Just put him out the back, Jack
Make a new plan Stan, etc
