On  Friday, December 17th, DJPC held it’s quarterly potluck social–this time a Holiday Party!  The food and decorations were great!  But the company and sing-a-long were the best!  For those who missed the fun,  here are the lyrics of two songs we sang to keep us in the Holiday Solidarity spirit:

LET US GO  (to the tune of “Let It Snow”):

Oh, the countries of the Caribbean

All America Latina

Have wonderful folks to know

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

Oh, we don’t go to just have more fun

To lay all day in the sun

There’s much more for “tu y yo”

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

Costa Rica, Peru, Cuba

Trinidad, Brazil, Aruba

Panama, Chile, Honduras

All of them SUPER to us!

Oh, Belize and Argentina

Nicaragua and Bolivia

Jamaica and Mexico

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

Oh, Suriname and French Guinea

Virgin Islands, Guatemala

Cayman Islands and Tobago

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

Venezuela and Paraguay

Puerto Rico and Uruguay

Montserrat, Haiti, Ecuador,

Bermuda, El Salvador.

Oh, La República Dominicana,

Suriname, St.Kitts, Guyana,

Grenada and Barbados,

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

So, whether islands of the Caribbean,

All América Latina,

SOLIDARITY is our goal.

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

We’re Dreaming Of a More Just World (to the tune of “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”):

We’re dreaming of a more just world

Peace breaking out on planet Earth

Whether north, south, east, west

Each place is the best

At guarding human rights for all.

We’re dreaming of a more just world

And acting so that it comes true

We are DJPC

That all may be free

Diverse but still in unity.

We’re working for a more just world

And will continue all our lives

Latin Americans our friends

Hasta La Victoria! The End!
