Father Abraham
Melody – Itself
Old camp song by Pierre Kartner (1971)
https://youtu.be/61l8MSO0WoU?si=weQkhyvcrq7gWC7f
(This is a warm up song where you end up doing jumping jacks, and then thrusting your pelvis and yelling)
Father Abraham
Had seven sons
Seven sons had Father Abraham
And they never laughed
And they never cried
All they did was go like this
With the right
(Wave right hand in time to the melody; add the following lines to the end of each verse as the song progresses:)
…And the left (Wave left hand)
…And the right (Kick right foot out)
…And the left (Kick left foot out)
(You should be doing jumping jacks at this point)
…And an “OOH!” (Thrust butt backwards)
…And an ”AAH!” (Thrust pelvis forwards)
Final run of chorus, all motions included; end with:
“OOH! AAH!”
(Alternative: Some people replace “OOH” and “AAH” with “She’s a” and “Ho”)
