Where’s the Shoorah? Lyrics

[Intro]
Shoorah, shoorah

[Verse 1]
She grows, she's grown like pampas
Tall in the wind
She's simple and spiteful
She's all girl, woman and mother
She's had my children and she's been my lover

[Verse 2]
No no no no, no no, she don't like to fight it
Once you've been bitten
You get excited
Ma-ma-ma-ma-mama, she really likes her
She comes for coffee, and my mama asked me

[Chorus]
So where's the shoorah, she sang
You know I hear it again, my friend
Where's the shoorah, she came upon it
Waiting to sing her back
'Cause she likes to sing about
Where's the shoorah, she sang
Over and over and over
Where's the shoorah, she sang
[Post-Chorus]
Shoorah, shoorah, shoorah

[Verse 1]
She grows, oh she's grown like pampas
Tall in the wind
Oh, she's simple and spiteful
She's all girl, woman and mother
She's had my children and she's been my lover

[Chorus]
So where's the shoorah, she sang
You know I hear it again, my friend
Where's the shoorah, she came upon it
Waiting to sing her back
'Cause she likes to sing about
Where's the shoorah, she sang
Over and over and over
Where's the shoorah, she sang

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, shoorah, shoorah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
