Short version:
(tune: Union Made)
There once was a boycott made
By those who weren’t afraid
Of ginks and goons and political loons
Who make new laws to ban a stand
For human rights for all, across the apartheid wall
And when the governor made his threat
Well this is what they said:
Oh you can’t scare me
I’m stickin’ to the boycott
Dispossession is their plot
Oppression I’ve always fought
No you can’t scare me
I’m stickin’ to the boycott
Apartheid you cannot
Force me to buy
This BDS gang was wise
To the Israel lobby’s lies
They couldn’t be fooled or overruled
They’d organize the gals and guys
When McCarthy was reborn
They stood up to forewarn
We’ll hold the line for Palestine
Yes this is what we’ll say:
Oh you can’t scare me
I’m stickin’ to the boycott
Dispossession is their plot
Oppression I’ve always fought
No you can’t scare me
I’m stickin’ to the boycott
Apartheid you cannot
Force me to buy
Give Me That Old Time Boycott
(tune: ” Give Me That Old Time Religion”)
Chorus:
Give me that old-time boycott
Give me that old-time divestment
Give me them old-time sanctions
They will make the people free
From the fields of California
To bathrooms in Carolina
Really nothing could be finer
Than to boycott till we’re free
It was good enough for Nestlés
So let’s use it for the Dead Sea
Dispossessing is not cool see
But divestment is the key
Chorus
It was good for Sun City
That apartheid was so shitty
Israel’s land theft isn’t pretty
And that’s why we’re singing here
We will boycott when they’re lyin’
We are tryin’ to stop the dyin’
That’s the reason we’re not buyin
It will make the people free
Chorus
