I banged out this little ditty to the tune of Camptown Races for Occupy Wall Street some years ago. It's now slighly modified for the campus protests (didn't take much. With apologies to Stephan Foster:

The camptown ladies sing this song
doo-dah, doo-dah
it's getting late and I've lost my bong
oh-da-doo-dah-day!

Gonna raise all night,
gonna protest all day
I got no money, I'm a leftist hag
and the bourgeois pigs will pay!

The hippies treat me like a whore
doo-dah, doo-dah
They're all worked up by Michael Moore
Oh-da-doo-dah-day!

Gonna raise hell all night,
gonna protest all day
I got no money, I'm a leftist hag
and the bourgeois pigs will pay!

We've got no showers or t.v.
doo-dah, doo-dah
But we do have crabs and some t.b.
oh-the-doo-dah-day!

Gonna raise all night,
gonna protest all day
I got no money, I'm a leftist hag
and the bourgeois pigs will pay!

We stink, we're loud, and quite irate
doo-dah, doo-dah
we all demand a Marxist state!
oh-da-do-dah-day!

Gonna raise hell all night,
gonna protest all day
I got no money, I'm a leftist hag
and the bourgeois pigs will pay!

We have no money to pay the rent
doo-dah, doo-dah
so we hang out here inside a tent
oh-da-do-dah-day!

we'd rather live here like some slobs
doo-dah, doo-dah
then waste our time on real jobs
oh-da-do-dah-day!

We only want what we deem fair
doo-dah, doo-dah
free food and schools and free healthcare
oh-da-do-dah-day!!

so we hang around and smoke our dope
doo-dah, doo-dah
though desperately we need some soap
oh-da-do-dah-day

Out here peddling our behinds
doo-da, doo-da
saying it's all for Palestine
oh the doodah day

fired up on pot and booze
doo-dah,doo-dah
Chanting how we hate the Jews
oh the do-dah day

Gonna raise hell all night,
gonna protest all day
I got no money, I'm a leftist hag
and the bourgeois pigs will pay!
