The BY Swim Cheer

This is the cheer my 7-year old niece, who is attending Bais Yaakov camp this summer, gleefully sang to me on Friday:
I was down by the river - Yeah, Yeah!
And I started to drown - Chas V'Shalom!
When I saw bunk X - Oh, Gevaldik!
I just couldn't go down - Baruch Hashem!
I think it's an instant classic. Who comes up with this stuff?!

  4. Hey, don't knock Camp BY! My mom is the head honcho over there :) She sends me pics every week but I don't think I spotted Shoshana or Dassi, I'll have to look more carefully. But that cheer is kinda weird. I don't think we had cheers like that in the 18 years I went there.

  6. Sarah, Shoshana - :P

    DAG - Haha!

    A^2 - That's... troubling.

    SaraK - Is she?! Haha! Yeah, I guess you'll have to look more carefully for them. They're the supercute ones. :)

    The cheer is more than troubling.

    SJ - :)

    Aviva - LOL. It's so cute hearing her sing it, no clue what she's saying...

  7. Ezzie: I beg to differ, Sara: when viewing Camp BY pics, the "super cute" ones are Gila and Daniella.

  8. BubbyT, I did spot Gila & Daniella in some pics :) But I beg to differ with both you & Ezzie, the super cute ones are Sara & Meira :D and because their Savti is the director of the camp, they win hands down

  9. Wow, this is one great cheer - whoever made this one up has a real future as a cynical blogger. So talented and sarcastic at the tender age of 16.
