Summer camp songs - lists, links, lyrics, and rambling thoughts about music meant to be sung by voices joined in imperfect harmony.
Down Under
I was in Adelaide, Australia for a conference a few days ago. Melbourne now and then Sydney before returning to the USA. This made me thing of three songs to post on my Facebook page:
Waltzing Matilda
Kookaburra Sits on an Old Gum Tree
Tie Me Kangaroo Down
And someone reminding me in a comment of one we sang during girls' sessions at Camp Ajawah:
My Father Slew a Kangaroo
And googling that reminded me of another song I'd left of my long list of summer camp songs:
My Dog Lima.
The last song is not Australian, but like "My Father" is a short, funny song about an animal.
Any other Aussie songs I have missed that you know from summer camp days?
