Ofarim 2006 - Machaneh Yom Chadash
Machaneh Song (Tune: Working 9 till 5, by Dolly Parton)
Stumble out of tents,
And we're ready for mifkad.
Give us a minute,
and we're all goin' mad.
Jumpin', shoutin' from morning through to night.
Celebrating those who made a difference, fighting for injustice, and working for pittance.
So folks like us are free to live our lives.
Chorus:
Ofarim '06, what a way to spend the summer, with habo dror, you just know that it is gonna, be the best damn camp, since the hippies went to woodstock, it's a REVOLUTION right around the clock.
Yom Chadash it's the start of a new day, gonna change the world, it's the start of a new day, with all mankind standing shoulder to shoulder, come on cowboys keep your guns in your holsters!
Verse 2:
"I have a dream",
said martin luther,
peaceful coexistence in the future,
no matter what your race or creed or hue.
Spread a little peace with Mahatma Gandhi, sprinkle a little love, 'cos it comes for free.
Our mission is to think and then to do!
Chorus:
Ofarim '06, what a way to spend the summer, with habo dror, you just know that it is gonna, be the best damn camp, since the hippies went to woodstock, it's a REVOLUTION right around the clock.
Yom Chadash it's the start of a new day, gonna change the world, it's the start of a new day, with all mankind standing shoulder to shoulder, come on cowboys keep your guns in your holsters!

Survived tiyul together now we're back at mainsite,
Sleeping bags still wet coz the weather was shhh,
Dressing up in binbags to walk in the rain,
No JPs allowed so don't try calling us vain,
One attempt at pasta and we all learn the truth,
Take aways and pubs are the best thing to do.
Chorus
Tried to have a lie in first morning here,
Boys woke at 6.30, Saxy said it was MIERCE!
Hygiene freaks as leaders, Cas and Yafs,
Showers everyday, how will it last? NOO!
We didn't need snide money, coz we budget well,
U2 on canooes wasn't it swell!
Chorus
Reppin' the London massiv Beth and Eliana,
Rach got first aid kit, Toby dropped rocks on her,
Char wants bottled water, Sara's dreams are all odd,
R-K walks into bushes, Serge and Mikey odd bods,
Zo and Sarah chillin', Stevie loving shop
Jake and Oli bringing our Leeds slang out on top!
Chorus

Burnt skin and quad bike rides, whoa

So we're loving each minute and we're taking no crap

Walking with Lycos having such a ball
Annoying girl ghosts called Hazel,
Sounds kinda freaky to me
Kvutsa Lycos!
Not one of us has got a phone,

We couldnt ask for any more,
Coz we all love it

Main Camp Song (Tune: Apply Some Pressure, Maximo Park)
So here we are in Wales before the new year
This is by far the best choref so lets cheer
We all want more but five days is all we get
With Habo Dror in Cefn Lea with all our friends
How bout you, I'm here to have some fun

Hey Amelim, you're young but you can still make noise,
Waddup chotrim, the biggest gang of boys and girls,
Hello Shomrim, Habo's futures your world
Soc Action too, trying to save the earth,
Teaching the truth, of how much our planets worth,
Lets review, the crazy cats of winter camp,
A bunch of Jews, not caring bout the cold and damp.
We cannot wait to get to mifkad,
To feel some ruach
We cannot wait., to get to mifkad,
To feel some ruach
What happens when you eat tuna every day,
You start a trend, you know you start a trend.
What happens when you eat tuna every day,
You start a trend, you know you start a trend.
Social Action and Chotrim singing;
What happens when you eat tuna every day,
You start a trend, you know you start a trend.
WHILST Amelim and Shorim singing;
Feel some ruach, hear some ruach
Feel some ruach, hear some ruach
So here we are in Wales before the new year
This is by far the best choref so lets cheer
