  1. (continued from previous page)
    The cheers of up Republicans did echo in the air
    Women swore they'd fight for them
    Their parliament to gain
    Although they lived in England
    Their government acted mean
    They made their way to Downing St.
    Lloyd George to meet him there
    And they all sat down in Conference
    To have the game played fair
    There were several interruptions
    up to twelve o'clock at night
    And lines were handed out to them
    To either take or fight
    Out of 20 points we got 19
    It suits us very well
    We'll fight them for the other one
    The time I will not tell
