Pump it up now!
Boom, boom, boom.
Keep moving.
Boom, boom, boom.
Don't slow down.
Boom, boom, boom.
Keep acting.
Boom, boom, boom.
Lagoon town!
Boom, boom, boom.
Keep moving.
Boom, boom, boom.
Don't slow down.
Just pump it up and down.
Keep moving!
Keep active!
Boom, boom, boom.
We've gotta make the right choice, we've gotta be smart.
We'll be swimming in lagoons every afternoon
and we won't be coming home till we see the moon.
We stay healthy and strong, eating veggies and fruit.
That's how we stay gorgeous and looking so cute.
I enjoy coming down to the carnival every year to get together with my family
and just meet up with mob that you haven't seen for a little while.
That's a positive reason to come together and see everyone that you haven't seen for a while.
I'll be eating my mango and it makes me wanna tango
When I'm eating my grapes, man, it makes me wanna break
When I'm eating my yams, man, it makes me wanna jump
When I'm eating my broccoli, it makes me do kuapa
All the Aboriginal communities coming together and just having fun.
Hanging out with my cousins and having fun.
You just get to run around a lot.
Come on! Shake it! Pop pop!
Oh, the sun is shining now, it's got us feeling alive
Oh, nothing can stop us now, like an eagle that flies
Coming down, meeting with family, meeting new people, playing football
and hopefully, you know, bringing the cup home.
It's atmosphere and it's inclusiveness and diversity and just an aspect of community.
Keep moving, don't slow down, just pop it, just pop it, just pop it up
We are the Chowengee boys and we're making some noise
To be fit and healthy, you gotta make a choice
Keep being active and eating healthy food
Pumping on the weights and looking so cool
Eat fresh fish and kangaroos
Bush tucker is a kite that is good for you
We play soccer, rugby league and AFL
I'm riding on my bike and I'm skidding around
We're learning so fast and having a laugh
Swimming, dancing, singing and making some art
Wrap your body like a crazy dancer
So pump your heart so you don't get cancer
Just meeting up with everyone, seeing old family I haven't seen in a while and just, yeah, making new friends.
At Vaxell, the work of our organisation is around those things.
Around culture, about family, about community coming together.
DJ, DJ, why don't you turn the music up
Cause I'm going to the clinic and I'm getting a checkup
Faster, faster, I don't wanna go slow
Go on you fella, up, up, up
Boom, boom, boom, this is Omar Poon
And we're doing backflips straight off the sand dunes
Boom, boom, boom, to the beat of my heart
We gotta move though, just we gotta be smart
Oh, the sun is shining now
It's got us feeling alive
Oh, nothing can stop us now
Like an eagle that flies
Oh, the sun is setting down
On the black beach at night
Boom, boom, boom, keep moving
Don't slow down
Keep active
No room time
Keep moving
Don't slow down
Keep active
No room time
Keep moving
Don't slow down
Just pump it, just pump it, just pump it up
Exercise and move your body in a healthy way
We got respect for our elders
That's our traditional way
Learning our language and our total name
Cause we always feel brave
And we shot no shame
