Jingle Bells

1. Dashing through the fire
In my 1990 Ford
Quarter tank of gas
It’s all i could afford!
Sirens up ahead
The flames are oh so bright
Oh my my, what fun it is to
Evacuate tonite!

2. Oh! thanks to Shell
And corporate hell
And coal and oil and cash
The planet is on fire
And it’s buried deep in trash.
Oh! thanks to Shell
And corporate hell
And coal and oil and cash
The planet is on fire
And it’s buried deep in trash.

3. Dashing through the snow
Where it’s never snowed before
Praying to the gods
Scromo, thank the lord!
Thoughts and prayers abound
Making spirits bright
Oh my my, what fun it is to
Be fighting such a fight! [Or “fighting with the right”, you can choose hehe]

4. Oh! thanks to Shell
And corporate hell
And coal and oil and cash
The planet is on fire
And it’s buried deep in trash.
Oh! thanks to Shell
And corporate hell
And coal and oil and cash
The planet is on fire
And it’s buried deep in trash.

The World is in danger

(To the tune of Away in a Manger)

1. The World is in Danger
It fills me with dread
Our planet is dying
The word we will spread
The stars in the night sky
Are fading away.
The by-laws are passing,
Our future is grey.

2. The battle is showing,
our climate mistakes,
for those we elected,
Are all just high stakes.
It’s time that we tell you
Our earth is bone-dry
The resources waning
The end is nigh

3. So hear us politicians
We ask thee to stay
If you do not listen,
Our whole world you’ll slay.
Think of the children
Or do you not care?
It’s time to go solar,
Or do you not dare?

We wish for a greener Christmas

We wish for a greener Christmas
We wish for a greener Christmas
We wish for a greener Christmas
And a low carbon year

Sad tidings we bring
To you and your kin
We wish for a greener Christmas
And a low carbon year

We all want meaningful action
We all want meaningful action
We all want meaningful action
So bring some out here

We won’t stop until we’ve got some
We won’t stop until we’ve got some
We won’t stop until we’ve got some
So bring some out here

We wish for a greener Christmas….

O come all ye faithful

1. O come all ye faithful
Active and defiant
O come ye, oh come ye
And take a stand
Come and behold this
Climate crisis

Chorus
O come let us demand change
O come let us demand change
Oh come let us demand change
For the world

2. Sing choirs of protests
Sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of this great world
Treasure creation
Let us now preserve it

O come let us demand change…

Once in Sweden’s capital city

1. Once in Sweden’s capital city
Stood a lowly girl on strike
Climate breakdown was her worry
World inaction she disliked
Strong she stood, placard in hand
With a message for her land.

2. It took time, for all to listen
To the worries she conveyed
Some did sneer, scorn with derision
Undermined the points she made
Resolute, she did persist
Unwilling to be dismissed

3. And the eyes of many opened
To the science that she shared
Children gathered in accordance
To show all, that they, too cared
And she leads the movement on
Worldwide voices speaking as one

Silent Night

1. Silent night, holy night!
All are quiet, to the plight
On the TV, little is said
Of the crisis up ahead
Put our heads in the sand
Put our heads in the sand

2. Silent night, holy night!
Children quake at the sight.
Those in power show little concern
Fossil fuels continue to burn
When will voices be heard?
When will voices be heard?

3. Silent night, holy night!
May the world see the light.
Share the wisdom, start to act
And respond to science and fact
For the sake of this earth
For the sake of this earth

Hark the Herald

1. Hark the herald rebels sing!
Let the sound of protest ring
East to West, and every child
Old and young are reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations, rise
Join the peaceful rebel cries
With th’ angelic host proclaim
Life can never be the same
Hark, the herald rebels sing
Let the sound of protest ring

2. For too long we have ignored
The great earth we all adore
Now the time has come for all
To respond to this great call
In our shared humanity
Hail the great calamity
Silent can we be no more
Rise as one, we all must soar
Hark, the herald rebels sing!
Let the sound of protest ring

3. Hail, The earth in all its grace
Hail! The beauty in this place
Light and life we strive to see
In bio-diversity
Join together, sing as one
Till our work is fully done
Till we’re taken seriously
In this stark emergency
Hark, the herald rebels sing!
Let the sound of protest ring
