All of us will be singing the chorus in the Gumboot Song.
Cody, Max, Persia, Kheiani, Poppy and Toby are singing the verses and Isabella B is going to sing the opera part with children in Room 10. Bravo!
Here are the lyrics and actions to help us practice.
Gumboot Song by Fred
Dagg
Intro: (Spoken, Lydia) 'Righto, kick it in the guts, Trev... '
V1 (Hands on hips, bend knees and straighten up
to music)
Gumboots, they are wonderful, gumboots, they are
swell
'Coz they keep out the water, and they keep in the smell.
And when you're sittin' round at home, you can
always tell
When one of the Trevs has taken off his gumboots.
Chorus (Step forward on right, forward on left, back
with right, back with left, then bend and up)
If it weren't for your gumboots, where would ya be?
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Coz you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even
pleurisy
If ya didn't have yer feet in yer gumboots.
V2
Now there's rugby boots and racing boots, and boots
for drinkin' rum.
But the only boots I'm never without, are the ones
that start with "gum".
I've got short ones and long ones, and some up to
me belt.
I'm never dressed 'till I've got on me gumboots.
Chorus
If it weren't for your gumboots, where would ya be?
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Coz you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even
pleurisy
If ya didn't have yer feet in yer gumboots.
V3 (Wilson, Tegan, Kadince, Apichat, Scarlett,
Isabella B)
Whenever I sing at the opera, my gumboots are a
must.
They help me hit the high notes, and protect me
feet from dust.
They keep the water well away, so me voice won't
get no rust.
You’ll not never NOT see me without me
gumboots.
Chorus (Sing 2x times)
If it weren't for your gumboots, where would ya be?
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Coz you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even
pleurisy
If ya didn't have yer feet in yer gumboots.
