WILL THE FETUS BE ABORTED?
Words by Darryl Cherney & Judi Bari
Tune: Will the Circle be Unbroken?
(G) Betty Lou she got pregnant
But was ad-(C) dicted to 15 (G) drugs
She went down to the abortion clinic
And was accosted by (D) right wing (G) thugs
Chorus:
Oh will the (G) fetus be aborted
By and (C) by Lord, by and (G) by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, (D) in the (G) sky
Little Mary was just 11
And she was raped by her own dad
Danny Quayle said have that baby
But another choice she had
Annie's pregnancy would kill her
The doctor's warning gave her strife
Fundamentalists said "Jesus take her"
She said I want my right to life
Brigit had two kids already
And an abortion is what she chose
Christians showed her a bloody fetus
She said "That's fine, I'll have one of those!"
Tanya lived for revolution
Wanted to overthrow the state
She had 15 commie babies
Phyllis Schlaffley ain't that great
Randall Terry hated abortion
But for a peaceful end he searched
He said we'll never bomb your clinic
We said we'll never bomb your church
There's so many starving children
And living in the streets is tough
There's 5 billion of us already
Don't you think that it's enough
