Chorus #1: Look out! ’Cause we are growing bolder! We’re gaining strength as we grow older! Our steps they might be slow, And ’though our boobs are hanging low, We are Raging Grannies strong!

CHORUS: They lie through their teeth with the greatest of ease, Those bigots who’d bring us all down to our knees; So we’ve got to stand strong and repeal Hate Bill 2, It’s not just about bathrooms, we know.
