To help the people of Palestine
We won’t buy grapefruit or Israeli wine
And if you’re wondering what you can do
Please join the boycott and help them too
Chorus:
(So we say) Don’t buy dates
(Oh don’t buy) Don’t buy Jaffa fruit
Don’t buy Israeli wine
There’s a boycott going on
Their land’s been taken and occupied
Their houses bulldozed and farms destroyed
The Western powers send arms with glee
While Israel acts with impunity
