Sufferin' till suffrage

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!)

Well sure, some men bowed down
And called us mrs (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, sister
(What did they say?)

Oh, we were suffering, 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 endeavour
To improve our country, state, county, town, and school
(What a shame, sisters!)

Oh, we were suffering, until suffrage
Not a woman here could vote, no matter what age
Then the 19th amendment struck
Down that restrictive rule (oh yeah!)
