Lyrics by: Action League
Gaggle: San Francisco Bay Area
Tune: Solidarity Forever

We’ve reached the age of sixty-five, our golden years are here.
They tell us that the age begins a happy new career.
For now our Uncle Sam becomes our permanent cashier
As we go marching on.

Chorus

Holy Moley it’s our MON-ey
Holy Moley it’s our MON-ey
Holy Moley it’s our MON-ey
we paid when we were young!

And when each month a check arrives, we’re happy it’s been sent.
Enough to buy a BIT of food and maybe pay the rent.
And after that, some folks are broke and left without a cent
But they go bravely on!

Chorus

We don’t know how you make it, as you live from day-to-day
With income fixed and prices up, there’s always more to pay.
So minding our arthritis, let us march and sing and say
Let’s all go bravely on!

Happy Birthday, Social Security
Happy Birthday, Social Security
Happy Birthday, Social Security
May we all have many more!
