Story behind the song
Frustration with anti-war effort to date. Too many vigils--not enough activism. Hit the streets! Get mad.
Lyrics
"Candlelight Vigil Boogie"
You can march on the streets
Kick up a fuss
Watch your neighbor
Walk off in a huff
But a potluck candlelight vigil’s just the thing for me.
You can hop on a bus (train, plane)
Down to Washington (out, up)
Talk to your senators one-by-one
But a potluck candlelight vigil’s just the thing for me.
Circle dance, sing-along,
It’s nice to have the company;
Holdin’ hands, yoga trance,
YouTube rockin’ on the big flat screen—
That’s nice,
It’s sweet,
Hangin’ around like a flock of sheep
Waitin for some shepherd to save us from this war.
[interlude; kazoo]
Well, some say a vigil seems like a wake
Feels like a funeral, when it’s too late
But I tell you, brother, that’s a grievous thing to say.
Cause Tweedle Dee Dumb told Fiddle Dee Dee
Save a place in the line for me
We’re sure to make waves
Just strollin’ round this way.
We’ll toe the line, looking dignified--
You won’t find us out on the streets;
Break into a chant, maybe a song,
Maybe we’ll sing another sing-along--
That’s fine,
That’s right,
We’ll sing-along till the morning light
An all night candlelight vigil’s OK with me.
[Repeat first verse]
