The other day, I was walking through the forest when off in the distance I saw a bunch of purple people - little tiny purple people gathered around a great big purple pot bubbling and boiling over a fire. And as they stirred that pot, they sang a little song. It went like this... (Chorus) “Making a purple stew wop-bop-babalu-wop-bop” (making a stirring motion) “Making a purple stew-be-do-be-do-be-do-be” “Purple potatoes and purple tomatoes and you! A purple stew!” Well, as I watched, a furry little bunny came hopping through the forest and do you know what happened? The purple people grabbed that bunny and threw him in the pot! (everybody) “It sure was funny to see a purple bunny! And they kept on singing... (Chorus) Pretty soon, a monkey came swinging through the trees and do you know what happened? The purple people grabbed that monkey and threw him in the pot! (everybody) “It sure was funky to see a purple monkey! And they kept on singing... (Chorus) Then, a bird came flying by - way up in the air and do you know what happened? One of those purple people jumped way, way up into the sky, grabbed that bird and dropped him in the pot! (everybody) “It sure was absurd to see a purple bird! And they kept on singing... (Chorus) All of a sudden, those purple people saw me and do you know what they did? They scooped me up and tossed me into that pot! (everybody) “It sure was hot sitting in that pot! And they kept on singing... (Chorus) Now, it was awfully crowded in that pot and me and the monkey and the bird and the bunny got to moving around and rocking back and forth, and pretty soon that big purple pot tipped over and spilled us out. We ran and ran and ran and ran as fast as we could but off in the distance we could still hear them singing… (Chorus - softly) Johnny Verbeck Do Your Ears Hang Low? (Chorus) Oh, Mr. Johnny Verbeck how could you be so mean, I told you, you’d be sorry for inventin’ that machine, now all the neighbors cats and dogs will nevermore be seen They’ll be ground to sausages in Johnny Verbeck’s machine. Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them o’er your shoulder Like a Continental Soldier? Do your ears hang low? Up in the streets of Palamar, there lived a mean old man, His name was Mr. Johnny Verbeck and he could surely plan There were a lot of cats and dogs and ring-tailed rats a few, So Johnny Verbeck, he made a machine that ground them all to stew. (Chorus) One day a boy came walkin’ a walkin’ thru the store. He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor. The boy began to whistle, He whistled up a tune. And all the little sausages went dancin’ round the room. (Chorus) One day the darn busted the darn thing wouldn’t go, So Johnny Verbeck he climbed inside to see what made it so. His wife she had a nightmare, went walkin’ in her sleep She gave the crank a heck of a yank and Johnny Verbeck was meat! (Chorus) Do your ears hang high? Do they reach up to the sky? Do they wrinkle when they’re wet? Do they straighten when they’re dry? Can you wave them at your neighbor With an element of flavor? Do your ears hang high? Peanut Butter and Jelly Peanut, Peanut Butter (and Jelly) Peanut, Peanut Butter (and Jelly) First you take the peanuts And you smash ‘em, You smash ‘em First you take the peanuts And you smash ‘em, You smash ‘em For your Peanut, Peanut Butter (and Jelly) Peanut, Peanut Butter (and Jelly) Then you take the grapes And you squash ‘em, You squash ‘em Then you take the grapes And you squash ‘em, You squash ‘em For your Peanut, Peanut Butter (and Jelly) Peanut, Peanut Butter (and Jelly) Then you take the bread And you spread it, You spread it Then you take the bread And you spread it, You spread it For your Peanut, Peanut Butter (and Jelly) Peanut, Peanut Butter (and Jelly) Then you take your sandwich And you bite it, You bite it Then you take your sandwich And you bite it, You bite it 15 (sing like your mouth is full) Um um, um um um um (um um) Um um, um um um um (um um) 16 Rocky Top Wish that I was on ol’ Rocky Top Down in the Tennessee hills Aint’ no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top Ain’t no telephone bills Once I had a girl on Rocky Top Half bear, other half cat Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that (Chorus) Rocky Top you’ll always be Home sweet home to me Good ol’ Rocky Top Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee Folks don’t grow no corn on Rocky Top Soil’s too rocky by far That’s why all the folks on Rocky Top Drink their corn from a jar (Chorus) I’ve had years of pent-up city life Trapped like a duck in a pen All I know is it’s a pity life Can’t be simple again (Chorus) Beautiful Tennessee Once two strangers climbed ol’ Rocky Top Lookin’ for a moonshine still Strangers ain’t come down from Rocky Top Reckon they never will Hi, my name is Joe and I work in a button factory The other day, my boss came up to me and said, “Hey, Joe are you busy?” And I said, “No”.

(Chorus) But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. The man around the corner swore he’d kill the cat on sight, He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite; He waited and he waited for the cat to come around, Ninety seven pieces of the man was all they found. (Chorus) He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note, And he told him to take it up the river in a boat. He tied a stone around his neck, it must have weighed a pound; Tomorrow they’re dredging the river for the little boy that drowned! (Chorus) He gave it to a man going up in a balloon, He told him to take to the man in the moon. The balloon came down about ninety mile away, Where he is now they dare not say! (Chorus) He gave it to a man going way out west. Told him to give it to the one he loved the best. First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail, Not a soul was left behind to tell the cruesome tale! 19 There’s a hole in the bucket Worms There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

I said a good and fresh and plenty sweet, I said a good and fresh and plenty sweet. 23 24 Maintain Dew Cold Spaghetti My Uncle Bill runs a still on the hill Where he brews up a gallon or two (or two) And the buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can’t fly Just from sniffin’ that good ol’ mountain dew.

(Chorus) On the loose to climb a mountain, On the loose where I am free. On the loose to live my life, the way I think my life should be, For I’ve only got a moment and a whole world yet to see. I’ll be looking for tomorrow on the loose. There’s a trail that I’ll be hiking just to see where it might go. Many places yet to visit, many people yet to know, For in following in my dreams, I will live and I will grow, On a trail that’s waiting out there on the loose. (Chorus) So in search of love and laughter, I’ll be traveling cross this land Never sure of where I’m going, for I haven’t got a plan, So in time when you are ready, come and join me and take my hand, And together we’ll share life out there on the loose. (Chorus) In this world that I am traveling, I will think of you this way, Remembering your smile, for it seems like yesterday When we slept beneath the stars, and we dreamed about this day Now we have come together on the loose. (Chorus) Do the trees in the forest make you sit and think of love? Does it take you twenty times or more to count the stars above? For I’m here now and I like it and the hours melt away, And if I want I’ll stay here another day. (Chorus) As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight softly fades, I am thinking of tomorrow and the friendships we have made. I will value them for always and I hope you’ll do the same, And forever we’ll explore life on the loose. (Chorus) Now the moon is softly glowing and the stars are twinkling bright Our laughter and our friendship have cleared this cloudy night Come and join our flickering campfire, come and sing our happy songs And together we’ll share life out on the loose. (Chorus) 28 Linger Pass It On Hmm, I want to linger, Hmm, a little longer, Hmm, a little longer here with you. It only takes a spark to get a fire going, And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing; That’s how it is with God’s Love, Once you’ve experienced it, Your spread the love to everyone You want to pass it on. Hmm, it doesn’t seem quite right, Hmm, that on this perfect night Hmm, that this should be our last with you. Hmm, and come September, Hmm, I will remember, Hmm, my camping days and friendship true.

Make New Friends Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other is gold. A circle is round, it has no end. That’s how long, I will be your friend. A fire burns bright, it warms the heart. We’ve been friends, from the very start. The sky is blue The Earth is green I can help to keep it clean (can be done in a round) What a wonderous time is spring, When all the tress are budding The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming; That’s how it is with God’s love, Once you’ve experienced it. You want to sing, it’s fresh like spring, You want to pass it on. I wish for you my friend This happiness that I’ve found; You can depend on God It matters not where you’re bound, I’ll shout it from the mountain top (PRAISE GOD!) I want the world to know The Lord of love has come to me I want to pass it on. I’ll shout it from the mountain top (PRAISE GOD!)

(done in a 3 part round) 29 30 Circle Game The Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star Then the child moved ten times round the seasons Skated over ten clear frozen streams Words like, when youre older, must appease him And promises of someday make his dreams And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and dawn Were captive on the carousel of time We cant return we con only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game. Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town And they tell him, Take your time, it wont be long now Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and dawn Were captive on the carousel of time We cant return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game I Love the Mountains So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true There’ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty Before the last revolving year is through. And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down Were captive on the carousel of time We cant return, we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game I love the mountains. I love the rolling hills. I love the flowers. I love the daffodils. I love the fireside. When all the lights are low. (Chorus) Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah. I love the flowers. I love the daffodils. I love the mountains. I love the rolling hills. I love the fireside. When all the lights are low. (Chorus) We walk together. Hike by the quiet stream. Watch for the sunrise. Breathing the air so clean. When we’re together, Sharing our fondest dreams. (Chorus) Opening Up We are opening up in sweet surrender To the luminous love light of the moon One Tin Soldier Listen, children, to a story That was written long ago, ‘Bout a kingdom on a mountain And the valley-folk below. On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath the stone, And the valley-people swore They’d have it for their very own. (Chorus) Go ahead and hate your neighbor, Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of Heaven, You can justify it in the end. There won’t be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day, On the bloody morning after.... One tin soldier rides away. So the people of the valley Sent a message up the hill, Asking for the buried treasure, Tons of gold for which they’d kill. Came an answer from the kingdom, “With our brothers we will share All the secrets of our mountain, All the riches buried there.” (Chorus) Now the valley cried with anger, “Mount your horses! Draw your sword!” And they killed the mountain-people, So they won their just reward. Now they stood beside the treasure, On the mountain, dark and red. Turned the stone and looked beneath it... “Peace on Earth” was all it said. (Chorus) We are opening, we are opening We are opening, we are opening (can be done in a round) 31 Taps Day is done Gone the sun From the lake to the hills to the sky All is well Safely rest God is nigh and good night 32 If I Had A Hammer (The Hammer Song) If I had a hammer I’d hammer in the morning I’d hammer in the evening All over this land I’d hammer out danger I’d hammer out a warning I’d hammer out love between My brothers and my sisters All over this land If I had a bell I’d ring it in the morning I’d ring it in the evening All over this land I’d ring out danger I’d ring out a warning I’d ring out love between My brothers and my sisters All over this land If I had a song I’d sing it in the morning I’d sing it in the evening All over this land I’d sing out danger I’d sing out a warning I’d sing out love between My brothers and my sisters All over this land Well I’ve got a hammer And I’ve got a bell And I’ve got a song to sing All over this land It’s the hammer of justice It’s the bell of freedom It’s the song about love between My brothers and my sisters All over this land Peace Like A River I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got peace like a river in my soul I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got peace like a river in my soul I’ve got love like an ocean I’ve got love like an ocean I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul I’ve got love like an ocean I’ve got love like an ocean I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul I’ve got joy like a fountain I’ve got joy like a fountain I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul I’ve got joy like a fountain I’ve got joy like a fountain I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got love like an ocean I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got love like an ocean I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul Poor Rose (repeat after me song) Poor Rose she died She died fer love Her lover he died Fer sorrow They buried ‘em both In the ol’ churchyard In graves both deep And narrow And up from her’s There grew a rose And up from his’n A briar They clumbed and clumbed Up the old church tower ‘Til they could clumb No Higher 33 (All together) The red rose and the briar Flicker The flicker of a campfire, the wind in the pines The moon in the heavens, the stars that shine A place where people gather to make friends of all kinds A place where all our troubles are always left behind So give me the light of a campfire, warm and bright And give me some friends to sing with; I’ll be here all night Love is for those who find it; I found mine right here Just you and me and the campfire and songs we love to hear 34
