The Raging Grannies Songbook, 1993, adapted by Kay Thode

Take the gross out of groc’ries,
Keep altered food off our plates.
Some of these products sound quite bizarre!
Keep mom’s home cooked fav’rites just as they are

Cause it’s gross, gross, gross, what they’re planning,
Gene splicing’s really a shame.
We’ll get down (pause) on (pause) our knees and say please
(pause) end Monsanto’s game!

Take the gross out of gro’ries.
We are playing roulette.
Who can tell what will come of this change,
Or what happens when food’s rearranged?

This is just what we’ve always feared and
You know who is to blame!
Put a freeze (pause) on (pause) facsimiles,
End Monsanto’s game!
