Hi - I have a divestment song
I have tweaked a few words to make it relevant to Banks.
Divest your Bank (TUNE: Pack Up your Troubles)
Divest your Bank, from the old Coal Mine
And smile, smile, smile
Divest your Bank from the old Coal Mine
‘Cos fossil fuels are vile
What’s the use of profiting
No future in denial
So – Divest your Bank from the old Coal Mine
and Smile smile smile!
Divest your bank from that Coal Seam Gas
And smile, smile, smile
Divest your bank from that Coal Seam Gas
‘Cos fossil fuels are vile
What’s the use of mortgaging
If you’re building on denial
So – divest your Bank from that Coal Seam Gas
And smile smile smile
Invest your money with your kids in mind
And Smile smile smile
Invest your money with your kids in mind
‘Cos fossil fuels are vile
What’s the use of parenting
If it’s only for a while
Invest your money with your kids in mind
And Smile smile smile

For scanning: Make the word Bank short and hard on the first available note and ignore the second note available in the usual melody.
If you have any trouble with it, I can send a recording.
