Father Abraham
Another call and response!
Lyrics: Black – Religious Advisor; Red – Hounds; Blue- All
Father Abraham had seven sons
And seven sons had Father Abraham
And they never laughed (Ha!)
And they never cried (Waaaa!)
All they did was go like this:
With a left!
With a left!
The song then repeats, with everyone waving their left arm. At the end of each verse, the previous body parts are called out, with a new one added at the end before the verse starts over, with everyone now waving that appendage in addition to the previous ones. The final round looks like this:
With a left!
With a left!
And a right!
And a right!
And another left!
And another left!
And another right!
And another right!
And a HUUUUUU – (RA bends over and reaches back between their legs)
And a HUUUUUU – (Hounds bend over and reach back between their legs)
And a HAAAAAAA – (RA throws arms wide over their head and bends back)
And a HAAAAAAA – (Hounds throw arms wide over their head and bend back)
Thoughts/notes:
As with all of these, keep the energy high! Also, if you fuck up, don’t acknowledge it, don’t stop, just keep going. It’s only a fuck up if you let it be.
Another nit-picky thing, whenever you say “All he did was go like this” you always jump in immediately with “With a left.” So this means that on the second to last verse you don’t say the final “HUUUUUU” before starting back to naming body parts, you just start naming body parts.
