Well, ya wake up in the morning,
Ya hear the WOKE bell ring,
(Increase tempo)
Then we MARCH to the table
And we start to sing
Not much food upon the table
Lots of pork by congressmen
So we’re gonna complain, friend,
Doing all we can
Chorus
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its ever-loving light on me
Yonder come the Grannies
How did they know?
By the way we wear our aprons
And the signs we show
Umbrella on our shoulder
Song sheet in our hands
We come to see the people
Try’na to free our land
Chorus
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its ever-loving light on me
*Ya, we’ve gone off our rockers
Taking action where we can
Food drives for empty pantries
While we entertain our fans
We’re not just at rallies
We’re in the community
Helping make lives better
Despite our achy knees
Chorus
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its ever-loving light on me
When life gets overwhelming
And hope is hard to see,
Sing along with the Grannies…
Cheaper than therapy
Be like a Grannie
Speak up and take a stand.
Time for Good Trouble
To sweep across the land
Chorus
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
Shines its light on me
Grannie midnight special
(slowly) Shines its ever-loving light on me
*This verse can be skipped if it doesn’t apply to your gaggle.
