Problem solved!
I guess our version is a bit different because there isn't the line in it "so lets all praise the Lord" I am assuming that comes at the end of each verse and we say "All they did was go like this" followed by each additonal gesture.

Oh ours isn't religious at all!

Ours goes:

Father Abraham had seven sons (seven sons)
Seven sons had father Abraham
And they never laughed (haha)
And they never cried (boo hoo)
All they did was go like this.. (to me right...) and they you wave your right hand and sing it again..

So I guess if you sand my camp's version it wouldn't be banned.

No, as I said before, the reference to Father Abraham having seven sons is definitely religious.
