Woorabinda - Our Music Camp Song
Taking the tune of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', featured in the movie Shrek, we staff on Music Camp renamed the song 'Woorabinda' after the camp, and rewrote the words to reflect our time at music camp for 2005. After one rehearsal we performed it with the kids singing the chorus at the end of camp concert. The Tony mentioned in the first verse runs the camp for everyone.
Woorabinda I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, The minor fall and the major lift, With Tony helping us at Woorabinda. Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda We came to camp on a rainy day With a burning desire to sing and play We bet you didn't miss your kids, did ya? Music comes from every room And everybody plays in tune, Playing music here at Woorabinda. Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda Instrumental Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda It feels like we've been here before, We've seen this dorm and we've walked this floor, Patrolling till the kids all finally slumbered. But the kids were good, they behaved themselves But they never put their shoes on the shelves. At least we didn't have a broken winda! Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda The food was good for me and you, We even had a barbecue Even though the meat was all burnt to a cinder. The kids went on the zip wire, If only it were ten feet higher! We really didn't think you had it in ya! Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda, Woorabinda
I haven't managed to sit down and get a midifile of this together yet. I might get one up at some stage, but for know all I can really tell you is the song's in 6/8 and the key of G major. Obviously there isn't a proper recording of this song. We weren't anywhere near good enough for one!
