Gather round, girls,

lemme tell you about the crisis that is here

And at the end I almost see

I see our final victory

I know that we don’t all believe that it’ll be what it’ll be

But a crisis ‘tis indeed, like a boulder gathering speed

And if we fail to act upon it

It might mean the chance has been lost

and we will have to wait to win

It’s 1916, we’re talking war and battle cries

Oh women dry your eyes- gotta rise up and fight

You may be troubled and bewildered and stricken with grief

But you can solve it! Fix these knotty problems! Try to breathe.

‘Cause if we fail to act upon it

It might mean the chance has been lost

and we will have to wait to win

oh America look up at that north star- one day it’ll come down

the time has come to shout aloud

in every city and village and town

the woman’s hour has struck

the woman’s hour is now

there was a man in west virginia

and someone asked him what he thought

he said “we’ve been keeping women down so long it would feel so queer to not”

if someone asked his wife the same question and here is what she’d say “we’ve been down so long we gotta stay this way”

therein lies the movement of those who say NAY

Oh America look up the star is getting nearer

It’s time to shout aloud to everybody who can hear us

The woman’s hour has struck the woman’s hour is now

The woman’s hour is here
