Now you have heard Of women's rights And how we've tried To reach new heights If we're all created equal, That's us too.
>> Yeah!
But you will proba- Bly not recall... That it's not been Too long at all, Since we even had the right to Cast a vote.
>> Well...
Well sure some men Bowed down and called us misses, >> Yeah! Let us hang the wash out, And wash the dishes, >> Huh... But when the time rolled around To elect a president What did they say, sisters?
>> What did they say?
They said, uh, see you later, Alligator, and don't forget my, my... My mashed potatoes, Because I'm going downtown to Cast my vote for president.
But we were sufferin', Until suffrage, >> Whoah... Not a woman here could vote No matter what age. Then the 19th Amendment Struck down that restrictive rule.
>> Oh yeah!
Now we pull down On the lever Cast our ballots, And we endeavor To improve our country, State, county, town and school.
>> Tell 'em bout it!
Those pilgrim women who Who braved the boat >> They cook, cook, cooked! Could cook the turkey, but they, They could not vote Even Betsy Ross who sewed the flag Was left behind that first election day.
>> What a shame, sisters!
Then Susan B. Anthony >> Yeah! And Julia Howe, >> Lucretia! Lucretia March, >> And others! They showed us how, They carried signs And marched in lines Until at long last The law was passed.
Oh we were sufferin', Until suffrage, Not a woman here could vote No matter what age. Then the 19th Amendment Struck down that restrictive rule.
>> Oh yeah!
And now we pull down On the lever Cast our ballots, And we endeavor To improve our country, State, county, town and school.
Yes the 19th Amendment Struck down that restrictive rule. Yes the 19th Amendment Struck down that restrictive rule.
>> Yeah, yeah!
Since 1920, Sisters Unite! Oh lord!
