Father Abraham

Father Abraham had seven sons.
And seven sons had Father Abraham.
And they never laughed,
And they never cried,
All they did was go like this.

With a left,
(Hold left arm out, moving hand to vertical and back again, and sing while doing it.
Stop moving arm and drop to side, then start over.)
And a right.
(Hold right arm out, moving hand to vertical and back again, and sing while doing it.
Stop moving arm and drop to side, then start over.)

Father Abraham had seven sons.
And seven sons had Father Abraham.
And they never laughed,
And they never cried,
All they did was go like this.

With a left, (Raise then start pumping left arm.)
And a right. (Raise Start pumping right arm in same fashion and at same time as left.)

(Chorus) Pumping arms

With a left,
And a right,
And a left, (Start moving left leg back an forth to side along with the arms.)
And a right. (Start moving right leg back an forth to side along with the arms.)

(Chorus) (Now you are doing jumping jacks)

With a left,
And a right,
And a left, (Start moving left leg back an forth to side along with the arms.)
And a right,
And a Hooh.

(Thrust out your butt, do chorus with the jumping jacks, shouting “Hooh!” and doing the butt thrust after “Father Abraham and at the end of each line except the last.)

(Repeat the previous positions, then:)
And a Hah! (Thrust your pelvis forward and ending with the chorus like this:)

Father Abraham (Hooh! Hah!) had seven sons (Hooh! Hah!)
And seven sons had Father Abraham (Hooh! Hah!)
And they never laughed (Hooh! Hah!)
And they never cried (Hooh! Hah!)
All they did was go like this (Hooh! Hah!)

Note: the RA or whoever is doing Father Abraham may vary this script to confuse and annoy participants and even him- or herself. Also Hooh and Hah can be substituted withapproprite improvisations.
