We stand united in sisterhood
Working together on the same team
Younger and older joining as one
Shoulder to shoulder for the same dream
Well well well look who's finally become a member of NOS
Oh no I'm only in town for tomorrow's NAACP conference
Care to give a quote for the Chicago Daily?
You can quote from my address as distinguished guest speaker
So you've agreed to speak at your hundredth white women's convention?
Are you just here to sow dissension?
Don't you resent that you're a prop
They trot out at events NOS represents a rich little Negro mascot
Come here and preach
See we have no race hatred
We let Mary make a speech
If I didn't speak they wouldn't even mention race
I tolerate their system
'Cause that's the only way they'll ever listen to our case
Oh and their system wants you dead?
What then?
I can't have this out with you again
Why are you fighting me?
I am not the enemy
Ladies a photograph please
We stand united in sisterhood
Working together on the same team
Before our formal program continues
Let's entertain a brief diversion from our junior Washington DC committee
Vote Wilson out
Vote Wilson out
Vote Wilson out
Vote Wilson out
My fellow Sufs that should be NOS's rallying cry this fall
It's time to show Wilson NOS's Sufs are the vanguard of the future
It's time to show him we're not just some gaggle of irrelevant old fogeys
