Lyrics for Deaf Camp 2005!
Everywhere we go
Everywhere we go
People wanna know
People wanna know
Who we are
Who we are
And where we come from
And where we come from
So we tell them
So we tell them
We're the Deaf Camp
We're the Deaf Camp
The mighty mighty Deaf Camp
The mighty mighty Deaf Camp
And if they can't hear us
And if they can't hear us
We shout a little louder
We shout a little louder
[repeat x2, then replace last verse with:]
They must be deaf!
They must be deaf!
