....Because of Barbara Clayton by electric voice theatre published on 2018-03-09T23:38:53Z This song was written for the Southampton Science and Engineering Festival and was due to be performed on March 10th 2018 - a sing-along song for a forgotten woman in science - and her dog, Holly. Unfortunately, the Science and Engineering Day 2018 was cancelled, but we decided to finish writing the song and posting our page about her on http://minervascientifica.co.uk/barbara-clayton/. She would never have wanted to shout about her work, but when I found out about her extraordinary achievements I felt that everyone else should. We don't quite have a community choir - but if you sing-a-long perhaps you can imagine it. Here are the words ....Because of Barbara Clayton CHORUS Southampton, shout out for Dame Barbara Clayton A woman too modest to shout for herself Let’s strive to take care of our people and planet Because of Barbara Clayton Verse 1 I see her out walking with Holly the dog They’re checking the air for traces of smog Pollution is less of a dangerous fog Because of Barbara Clayton CHORUS V 2 The paint in your home isn’t poisoned with lead It no longer can mess with your young children’s heads The old folks with vitamins and minerals are fed Because of Barbara Clayton CHORUS V 3 The welfare of babies, the health of the nation Nutrition and diets, clean air not pollution All are looked after with care and attention Because of Barbara Clayton Her dad invented salad cream Her work was honoured by the Queen So many of us are here it seems Because of Barbara, Because of Barbara Because of Barbara Clayton, Because of Barbara Clayton CHORUS V 4 Loved by her students, respected admired Laws and improvements her work has inspired Many young women, Many young women in medicine have flowered Because of Barbara Clayton Southampton, shout out for Dame Barbara Clayton A woman too modest to shout for herself Let’s strive to take care of our people and planet Because of Barbara, Because of Barbara, Barbara Clayton Genre Classical
