Onto the marches we go, chanting all the way! This season, don’t look to bells on bobtails to make your spirits bright. Kindle the mood with dreams and songs of Occupation, sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells.”
Chorus
Occupy, occupy
Occupy away
Oh what joy it is to know
That we will have our say
Occupy, occupy
Occupy away
Oh what joy it is to know
That we will have our day
1.
Started with a few
Camping in the square
Saying we got screwed
We’re here to claim our share
2.
Zuccotti was the first
Soon cities everywhere
Had occupations call
For justice and what’s fair
3.
No more corporate rule
Of government and press
Our kids in jails or lured to war
For profits in their nests
4.
Evicted from our homes
Sold a pack of lies
Occupying foreign lands
Bombs raining in their skies
5.
With mortgages banks preyed
Worthless papers all
They bundled, sold, and then they bet
That everything would fall
6.
Folks working sixty years
Saving for the time
When they can take a rest from toil
Now no one has a dime
7.
We’re marching on the banks
We’re taking back our homes
Claiming rights to school and health
To truth, our dreams and poems
