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!

[and repeat once more]
