Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems
Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1971 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1999. The editors introduced this composition when Malvina published it in Sing Out! with the following words: "If you have not read 'Alice in Wonderland,' some of the allusions in this song may escape you. 'Alice' is a good experience, so perhaps it's worthwhile for you to read it if you haven't, if only for the purpose of understanding 'No Room.' There may be some differences among singing people about the matter of population control, but, says Malvina, the right of a woman to control her own body, which is really the intent of this song, should not be questioned."
Chorus: No room! No room! No room! (Chorus) No room! No room! No room! (Chorus)
