- Sing for the Climate
(To the tune of ‘Bella Ciao’)
We need to wake up
We need to wise up
We need to open our eyes
And do it NOW, NOW, NOW!
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now.
We’re on a planet
That has a problem
We’ve got to solve it, get involved
And do it NOW, NOW, NOW!
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now.
Make it greener.
Make it cleaner.
Make it last, make it fast
And do it NOW, NOW, NOW!
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now.
No point in waiting
Or hesitating.
We must get wise, no more lies
And do it NOW, NOW, NOW!
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now!
2. There is no Planet B
(Words by Janet Wood)
Listen to the mountains and the sea
There is no Planet B
Forward message hashtag human greed
There is no Planet B
Say no to fracking ransacking the earth of it’s beauty
Don’t be self-serving conserving the world is our duty
Hear it in the rivers and the trees
There is no Planet B
Whisper in the very air we breathe
There is no Planet B
Say no to plastic a drastic solution is called for
Time now for action to fashion a better world order
Listen to the mountains and the sea
There is no Planet B
Forward message hashtag human greed
There is no Planet B
There is no Planet B…….

4. You won’t be fracking long!
Tune: ‘The Laughing Policeman’
Words: Marie Walsh/Liverpool Socialist Singers
CHORUS
You won’t be fracking long!
You won’t be fracking long!
Wherever fracking’s threatened
We’ll sing our fracking song!
And if you fracking bankers
Can’t see there’s something wrong
You think you’re fracking clever, But you won’t be fracking long!
If you’re in the fracking business
You really ought to know
That all your fracking progress
Will be painfully slow.
We’ll block your fracking test sites
And your fracking engineers
And we’ll bring your fracking business down
Around your fracking ears!
CHORUS
They’ve had their fracking tax-break
From Osborne in Whitehall
Which isn’t so surprising
When you understand it all
The oil and gas investors
Pay for many a Tory toff
Yes they’re ‘all in this together’
Just like porkers at the trough!
CHORUS
So if you have some money
That you’re wanting to invest
Don’t put it into fracking
That leaves the world a mess.
There’s sun and wind and water
That can power the human race
And every green investor makes
The world a safer place!
5. What can we do about global warming?
(Tune: What can we do with the drunken sailor?
Words: Oliver Swingler/Making Waves Choir
Chorus
What can we do about global warming? X 3
Shrink our carbon footprint!
Walk, cycle, bus and train.
Car share, avoid the plane.
Holiday at home, learn to love the rain.
Shrink our carbon footprint
Chorus
Insulate our homes and get them lined.
Stop fossil fuels from being mined
Use tidal, solar, wind and find
We’ll shrink our carbon footprint!
Chorus
Watch out! The seas are rising,
Cry out! The seas are rising.
Bale out! The seas are rising.
Save our lovely planet!
We can do a lot about global warming x 3
Save our lovely planet!
