shaina taub & original broadway cast of suffs - the convention, part i lyrics

Loading...

chorus
we stand united in sisterhood
working together on the same team
young and older
joining as one
shoulder to shoulder
for the same dream

mary
well, well, well look who has finally become a member of nawsa

ida
oh no, i’m only in town for tomorrow’s naacp conference. care to give a quote for the chicago daily?

mary
you can quote from my address as distinguished guest speaker

ida
so you’ve agreed to speak at your hundredth white women’s convention?

mary
are you just here to sow dissension?

ida
don’t you resent
that you’re a prop that they trot out at events?
nawsa presents our rich little negro mascot come here to preach
see?
we have no race hatred
we let mary make a speech
mary
if i didn’t speak
they wouldn’t even mention race
i tolerate their system
‘cuz that’s the only way they’ll ever listen to our case

ida
but when the system wants you dead
what then?

mary
i can’t have this out with you again!

ida, mary
why are you fighting me?
i am not the enemy

[____]
ladies, photograph please?

ida, mary
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
alice
vote wilson out!

chorus
vote wilson out!

alice
vote wilson out!

group
vote wilson out!

alice:
my fellow suffs, that should be nawsa’s rallying cry this fall. it’s time to show wilson, nawa suffs, are the vanguard of the future. it’s time to show him we are not just some gaggle of irrelevant old fogeys
