Songs & Slogans

Here are just a few of the songs & slogans the DC Young Suffragists have worked on for posters, buttons, and rally chants:

Songs

"Twinkle Twinkle DC Star" (to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)

Twinkle Twinkle DC Star
How I wish you were't so far
Why aren't we represented on the flag
Being the Nation's Capitol should not be such a drag
--Eboni, age 12, Fort Washington, Maryland

"Do You Have a Senator?" (to the tune of Muffin Man)

Do you have a senator, a senator, a senator?
Do you have a senator who works all day for you?

Gee we have no senator, no senator, no senator.
Please give us our senators so we can be heard too!

"We all live in Washington, DC" (to the tune of Yellow Submarine)

In the town where I was born,
There lived a people under a thorn.
They worked all day and night,
But had no vote to show their light.
Now we sing to make things better,
What we really want is a Senator!

Refrain:
We all live in Washington DC, Washington DC, Washington DC
With no vote for you and for me, for you and for me, for you and for me

In the place where I live,
All the people do is give
They give their time, They give their money
But they feel like a mummy
Now we all are really MAD
Because we feel like we've been HAD!

Refrain

In this city which is so pretty,
No vote for us is a pity.
By and by, we get through
Though on the way, what can we do?
Lawmakers use us to play,
But sadly, We have no SAY!!!

Refrain (2x)

Music - Beatles
Words - Billy, 7th Grade, Maryland

Slogans

"If others have Senators, why can't we?"
Yiwen, age 10, Washington, DC

"What do we want?" Senators! "When do we want em?" Now!

Senators count and we don't have 'em.

no vote
no voice
no fair

Voting in congress is equal to freedom.

Should We Abandon Washington, DC for Equal Rights?

We give tax for no good reason!

If others have senators, why can't we?
