Machaneh Song (Tune: I'm a believer, by ?/ don't phunk with my heart, by ?)

Nemerim 2005 - Machaneh Taglit
Machaneh Song (Tune: Sweet Dream My LA Ex, by Rachel Stevens)
Here's Machaneh Taglit,
Kibblestone's the place to be at.
Ofarim was really great,
but now we're 88 - oh yeah!
What Plannet are you from,
if you've not heard of Nemerim,
listen and we'll tell you all,
we're chotrim on Habonim Dror!
When we sing in Staffordshire,
we don't whisper we just shout!
On Machaneh Taglit 2005,
What Jewishness is all about!
Discover the world around us,
Learn about Culutral Jews,
Putting some meaning in to what we do
Will make us more spiritual Jews!
We've been on tiyul,
Sleeping roughs the way forward,
Now we're back on our main site
For another night or 10!
What plannet are you from,
If you've not heard of Nemerim,
Listen and we'll tell you all,
We're Chotrim on Habonim Dror!
When we sing in Staffordshire,
we don't whisper we just shout!
On Machaneh Taglit 2005,
What Jewishness is all about!
Discover the world around us,
Learn about Culutral Jews,
Putting some meaning in to what we do
Will make us more spiritual Jews!
Machaneh Tagli '05
Having so much fun, having the time of our lives
Memories will never fade, dont' want to leave but we've got Rishonim next year!
You say you're very loud ...... T-A-G-L-I-T
Got ruach all around ...... T-A-G-L-I-T
Sing it loud and proud ...... T-A-G-L-I-T
Machaneh Taglit '05!
When we sing in Staffordshire,
we don't whisper we just shout!
On Machaneh Taglit 2005,
What Jewishness is all about!
Discover the world around us,
Learn about Culutral Jews,
Putting some meaning in to what we do
Will make us more spiritual Jews!
Kvutsa Song: Gefilter Fish (Tune: Adon Olam)
(slowly)
Gefilte fish, on Nemerim,
The best kvutsah, we wear a grin
We got our wish, for this kvutsah
We are the best; forget the rest, Gefilte fish
We had a laugh, four days of hiking
On main site, its so exciting,
We’re back in Stone, no time to moan
We are the best; forget the rest, Gefilte fish
Chorus (start slowly, then pick up the pace)
On Kibblestone 2-0-0-5, it’s where our dreams will come alive,
Sharing, caring’s what we do, its all about the cultural jew
T-aglit is the place to be, for ruach and insanity,
Rishonim will be next time, but now its Nemerim ‘05
Bakewell is a super town, only with Geflite around,
The summer we don’t want to end, hanging round with all our friends,
Our ruach makes us really proud, it makes us sing right out loud,
Gefilte fish on Nemerim, the best kvutsah,
Gefilte fish on Nemerim, the best kvutsahhhh.
(really slowly again)
In a field, sleeping in our tents,
It’s great fun without our parents,
A pub dinner, and the cycling,
Tiyul was great, you know it mate, Gefilte fish
Chorus – but with a different start
With Tal and Kirsch, Dane and Jess,
Porto, Becks and Dave Lewes
Katia, Serle and Jackaridoo
Joel and Joshy Steinberg too,
Gadi and Oli make the lot, the macrichim have lost the plot,
Gadi and Oli make the lot, the madrichim have lost the plot
On Kibblestone 2-0-0-5, it’s where our dreams will come alive,
Sharing, caring’s what we do, its all about the cultural jew
T-aglit is the place to be, for ruach and insanity,
Rishonim will be next time, but now its Nemerim ‘05
Bakewell is a super town, only with Geflite around,
The summer we don’t want to end, hanging round with all our friends,
Our ruach makes us really proud, it makes us sing right out loud,
Gefilte fish on Nemerim, the best kvutsah,
Gefilte fish on Nemerim, the best kvutsahhhh.
Bakewell is a super town, only with Geflite around,
The summer we don’t want to end, hanging round with all our friends,
Our ruach makes us really proud, it makes us sing right out loud,
Gefilte fish on Nemerim, the best kvutsah,
Gefilte fish on Nemerim, the best kvutsahhhh.

Machaneh Song 1 (Tune: Show Me the Way To Amirillo, Tony Christine)
When Habo's calling
I can hear mifkad dawning

Were up and down and all around
We’ll shake off all our stuff
Showing you our Jewish values
On winter camp we’ll learn about you the community
Come and do the Habo Dror with me
With Cilla les Bruce and dale

But have no fear, we’re here, we’re Habo Dror
People always told us, the world we couldn’t change
They said, “forget it, you must be deranged”
Chorus:
But here we are Ma Atem Osim
Social Action is the plan
Choref in Cefn Lea
We’ll make a difference cos we can!
To all those people we can say “get stuffed!”
We’ll change the lives of people sleeping rough
We’ll help make trade more fair now
And stop pollution too
We’ll change the world, it’s up to me and you!
Chorus:
Macheneh Ma Atem Osim
What the hell do you think you’re doin’?
We’re on a Welsh hillside,
We hope it’s gonna snow
The world is crying out for action, here we go!!
Chorus lalalala fade out
