Suffs the Musical - Let Mother Vote Lyrics
The song is written by Shaina Taub.
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT: (spoken)
Welcome, gentlemen
(singing)
God bless our great republic
God bless our grand old flag
God bless the land of freedom we hold dear
And the heartbeat of that land
Will always be the home
And that, of course,
Is woman's sacred sphere
We nurture every family
Just as we're meant to do
So won't you let us nurture the nation too?
Let mother vote
We raised you, after all
Won't you thank the lady
You have loved sincе you were small?
We rеared you, cheered you
Helped you when you fell
With your blessing,
We could help America as well
Let mother vote
We'll keep our country clean
We'll tidy up our politics until they are pristine
We'll wash out any stain
In society's domain
So, Mister,
Won't you please let mother vote?
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
Let mother vote
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
We've got the recipe
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
For well-balanced government
Fresh-baked with decency
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
Two cups of moral fiber
Add a dollop of good grace
Mix in maternal instinct
And the world's a better place
ENSEMBLE:
Let mother vote
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
Let mother vote
ENSEMBLE:
Let mother vote
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
We'll nurse the USA
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
Until corruption, greed and vice
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
Are sweetly swept away
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
We'll deploy domestic skills
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
To cure domestic ills
So, Mister,
Won't you please let mother vote?
'Cause we gave birth to old Abe Lincoln
And Robert E. Lee
Babe Ruth and Woodrow Wilson
We bounced 'em on our knee
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
We brought you all these brilliant guys
Don't we deserve a little prize?
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
Let mother vote!
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
Don't worry, it's alright
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
We'll still be there to hold you close
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
And tuck you in at night
ENSEMBLE:
Tuck you in at night
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
It won't disrupt your lives
We'll still be loyal wives
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
So, Mister, won't you please let mother vote?
ENSEMBLE:
Let mother vote
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
We'll vote like father
Vote like son
ENSEMBLE:
And two good votes are better than one
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT & ENSEMBLE:
So please
(Please, please, please)
Pretty please
(Please, please, please)
Let dear (Dear) old (Old)
Mother vote (Mother vote)
CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT:
Let your all-American mother vote
