Iroquois Hut Songs

Tune: "Alabama Rain"

Like the shadows of the night
Misty colors shaded
Iroquois has dimmed it's lights
Scattered memories faded.

Chorus:

Bygone times are here again,
Like a dream recalled,
Now at last we've come to answer
Our Lord's call.

Silent richness lies within
A uniqueness found
Like a vanished Iroquois whose
Spirit has been found.

(Repeat Chorus)

Winding through the trees
Lost in a happy breeze
Our songs we lift toward the sky.
Glad to be Iroquois,
Glad to know the joy,
Of sunlight sparkling in our eyes.

We've come, oh so young
And been writing songs so long,
We've found talents,
And a purpose for each one.
We never want to go,
And yet still we know,
That something here has touched our lives.
Glad to be Iroquois,
Glad to know the joy,
Of sunlight sparking in our eyes.

I'd rather be an Iroquois than a multi-multi millionaire.
I'd rather be an Iroquois than sit in a president's chair.
I'm just as happy as I can be.
If you don't believe it come and see.
I'd rather be an Iroquois than a multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-millionaire.

Boomalacka, boomatacka, bow-wow-wow,
Chickalacka, Chickalacka, chow-chow-chow,
Boomalacka, Chickalacka, who are we?
Iroquois, Iroquois, yes-sir-ee!

Here's to the Iroquois, hail 'em, hail 'em, hail 'em.
Nothing that they cannot do.
They've got that spirit, kind that never fails 'em,
Proved it too.

They are the kind of girls that are always on top,
Once you get 'em started, you never get 'em stopped.
So here's to the Iroquois, hail 'em, hail 'em, hail 'em.
Nothing that they cannot do.

Tune: "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy"

I'm an Iroquois camp-girl,
Iroquois do or die;
Winnataska's best of all the tribes,
Shout out your praises to the sky.
Swimming, boating, riding, hiking,
That's enough for you or me;
I-R-O-Q-U-O-I-S, that's the name we're proud of --
We are the Iroquois so true!
