- Gramma had a little cottage
- And she lived there all alone
- Gramma never had much money
- Then Wells Fargo bought her mortgage loan!
- When she couldn’t make her payment
- Bankers took her home away
- Now my dear Gramma is homeless
- And the banker has a yacht out in the bay!
- Gramma got run over by a stagecoach
- And her house was stole by banking thieves
- You might say there’s no such thing as Satan
- But as for me and Grandpa we believe!
Pay, pay, pay
(To the tune of "Row Row Row Your Boat")
- Pay, pay, pay your tax,
- Like the working class.
- Corp’rate giants and millionaires
- Don’t deserve a pass.
- Tax, tax, tax the rich
- Before they bleed us dry.
- Don’t cut the programs that we need.
- You’ll cause the poor to die.
Away in the Caymans
(To the tune of "Away in a Manger")
- Away in the Caymans
- The Plutocrats wept
- Because, we the people
- Are listing their debts
- We're no longer fooled by
- Divide and delay
- We're planting the seeds
- But they're making the hay
- We're humans, not cattle
- We will not be cowed
- We are all unbroken
- Unbent and unbowed
- With love for the Earth
- We will stand straight and strong
- With love for each other
- We'll sing a new song
- We will stand together
- Through the cold and pain
- The Plutocrats loss
Away In Our Hearts
(by Fern Capella)
- Away in our hearts lives a place we all know
- where children are cherished and healthy things grow
- where everyone's equal and all have a home
- a place full of love, grace, compassion and hope.
- A new day is coming for the Earth that we love
- that old way is dying and shriveling up
- the world that we make now is up to all of us
- let's let every day be the day of the dove.
- Peace is our vision and love is in our hearts
- we don't know what will happen but we know this is the start
- our children deserve laughter, imagination and art
- Take my hand in this new world and let's all do our part.
Rupert the red nose liar
- Rupert the red nose liar, was a propaganda troll
- And if you ever watch fox, you will even say it's so
- All of the other networks, often act just the same
- They never let the people, join in on the media game
- Til one warm October eve, Livestream came to say
- People with your lights so bright, wont you stream the show tonight
- Then how the people gathered, as they shouted out with glee, YIPEE
- Rupert the red nose liar, you won't write our history...
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Occupier
(by Sam Martland, Terre Haute)
- Though every occupier
- Has a red and chilly nose,
- Our hearts are touched with fi-re
- As our hope for justice grows.
- Everywhere in the U S
- People know our movement’s name.
- Come out to fight for fairness
- And put an end to corporate shame.
- Who wrecked our e – con – o – my?
- Sure wasn’t you or I.
- Must have been those Wall Street folks,
- But their bonuses are high.
- Let’s all take back our country,
- For the ordinary folks.
- Let’s work and share together
- And wipe away big money’s hoax.
Robbie the red faced bankster
(Sung to "Rudolph")
- Robbie the red faced bankster
- Had a very big chalet
- He didn’t have to work for it
- He bought it with your 401k
- All of the other banksters
- Jealous of his fat cat ways
- Cranked up your interest payments
- Now they’re really makin’ hay
- Then one lazy summer’s day
- To Robbie’s great dismay
- He’d robbed so much from our hard earned pay
- All the money went away.
- So now Robbie’s broke and angry
- He wants a shiny car with flair
- Where can he find the money
- From your Granny’s Medicare
(by Kelly Karjola; To the tune of "Let it Snow")
- While the minimum wage is frightful
- For the wealthy life's delightful
- Tell those millionaire CEO's
- Share the dough, share the dough, share the dough!
- The battle around us rages
- As we fight for living wages
- And we want to get what we're owed
- Share the dough, share the dough, share the dough!
- We leave families home at night
- Working two jobs is the norm
- And we know that it's just not right
- This system needs some reform
- The economy's globalizing
- In the streets we're organizing
- And we're making our Occupy movement grow
- Share the dough, share the dough, share the dough!
Status Quo
(by Carole Rubin; To "Let it Snow")
- Oh the weather is wet and wintery
- The bloom is off tent cities
- But the people here stay cause they know
- If they don’t it’ll be status quo
- Now the 99 are solid and stand strong
- They know that the economy is built wrong
- If we don’t change the way money flows
- It’ll still be status quo
- Oh the rich keep building their fortunes
- Off the backs of the rest of us peons
- Pollution they love if it will grow
- Their rigged up status quo
- We need green jobs for our planet
- An economy built as though we get it
- If we don’t and let each other fall
- It’s always be status quo
- So occupy, stay strong and call out
- For changes to the way wealth is dealt out
- Healthy planet, living wage for all
- Let’s create a new status quo
Tidings of Comfort and Joy
(by Fern Capella; Just have the first two verses of this one...)
- Tidings of Comfort and Joy
- God bless you freedom fighters
- is there nothing you can't do
- the cold and rain empowers you
- and bravely you push through
- To bring the world's attention to
- Justice, Love and Truth
- Oh, tidings of comfort and joy be with you
- Oh tidings of comfort and joy
- And to the freedom fighters
- what can we do for you?
- When you have given everything
- to make our country new
- Some hot chocolate, a warm blanket
- and a hug from me to you
- And tidings of comfort and joy be with you
- Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and Joy
- God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
- We took your house and health care and we sent your job away (ed-KM: we took your house
- and your health care and sent your job away)
- Your children's education and their schools we will destroy
- So the wealthy have comfort and joy
- Comfort and joy
- So the one percent have comfort and joy!
- (from Jeff)
- God rest ye banking gentlemen
- May nothing you dismay
- Tho’ all your greed has pushed us into social disarray.
- The 99 per cent of us will be the ones to pay.
- Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
- Comfort and joy.
- Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
God Curse you Greedy Bankermen
(by Brian Cameron Deff; Substitute your favorite swear word at will.)
- God curse you greedy bankermen
- We trust nothing that you say
- We know that Reagan your savior
- Helped you all get paid
- Then Bush saved you all from regulators power
- And you went totally astray
- Oh tidings of the 1 percents Joy
- The 1 percents joy
- Oh tidings of 1 percents joy
- In Washington and on Wall Street
- Their evil plan was hatched
- By Goldman Sachs and Citi Group
- The people’s wealth was snatched
- To their Master George W. Bush
- They were all attached
- Oh Tidings of 1 percents joy
- The 1 percents joy
- Oh Tidings of 1 percents joy
- From the mass a voice arose
- An idea had finally came
- And unto certain people
- Things would not just be the same
- Those who’s greed had hurt us all
- Must be met with jeers and shame
- Oh tidings of the 99 percents joy
- The 99 percents joy
- Oh tidings of the 99 percents joy
- Fear not then said the rising voice
- The people will win this fight
- On this day a movement is born
- To help restore what’s right
- To free us all from Bankers Power
- And corporate control and might
- Oh Tidings of the 99 percents joy
- The 99 percents joy
- Oh tidings of the 99 percents joy
- The people came and it took it back
- Took back what was once ours
- Bankers lost their huge fancy homes,
- Their money and their cars
- Accused of the crimes that they did cause
- Tried fairly, and put behind bars
- Oh Tidings of the 99 percent’s joy
- 99 percent’s Joy
- Oh Tidings of the 99 percents joy
