THAT'S SHOW BUSINESS

Congratulations to all the children in Room 21 and Room 10 as we are now rehearsing for our scene in the school production.

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.
