Brabby's Song:The Rough Cut

We wrote this song- about our home, Usa River- back in October, as we were sleepily lazing around our living room after Swahili classes one evening.  It has taken us months to actually post it, as the internet server at our school... something something something (insert nerd language here).  Okay, so we're not going to be up for a Grammy any time soon... but we had fun. Enjoy!  Lyrics are written below....

We left our homes and our families,
One long year for our God to please,
We came to Usa, Usa River.
We live in a big house with yellow walls.
We sleep till morning when the hornbill calls,
We sleep in Usa, Usa River.

And sometimes we think things ain't as great as they seem,
but it's all okay coz we got our ice cream
here in Usa, Usa River.

Gabby goes off to the school all day,
With the teachers she works, with the kids she plays,
Down in Usa, Usa River.
Brent takes the dalla to Cradle of Love
and those babies they're sent here from heaven above,
they live in Usa, Usa River.

Our Australian friends think we're from "Canader"
and Brent wants to see just one more Puff Adder,
here in Usa, Usa River.

Sometimes we miss you all back home.
Our moms, our dads, our can Phantom.
But when we look around, it's clear...  our home is right here.

So don't you worry, and don't you fret.
Neither of us has malaria yet,
mozzies in Usa, Usa River.
And if you can't wait a full year to see them,
Remember there's daily flights on KLM,
via Arusha, just West of Usa.

And if you don't mind Aussies, some Yanks and some Brits,
and water you drink that might give you the.....

Join us in Usa, Usa River.
