Change the World
Chorus
Change the world, come with me,
Time to let our dreams fly free
And it comes so easily
That is our way.
Ev’ry moment we’re alive
It’s our love that will survive
In the Girl Scouts together We Change the World.
Sisters of ev’ry color, Friends from ev’rywhere
We all make a diff’rence when we show the world we care
The Girl Scouts are a family and they show us what we can be
And I believe together We Change the World.
Chorus
In America, we have so much to give,
To our sisters ‘round the world who are struggling just to live
Light the light and do our share, reach out your had and someone’s there
And I believe together We Change the World
Chorus
Frog Song
I'm Proud To Be Me
I'm proud to be me, but I also see
You're just as proud to be you.
We may look at things a bit differently
But lots of good people do.
It's just human nature so
Why should I hate you?
For being as human as I
We'll live and let live
And we'll give and forgive
And we'll all get along if we try.
I'm proud to be me,
But I also see you're just
As proud to be you--it's true,
You're just as proud to be you.

Hear the lively song
Of the frog on yonder
pond
Crick crick crickety crick
Burrrrr-rrrruuummmm!
We’re Great
We’re great but no one knows it
No one knows it so far
Some day they’ll realize how
wonderful we are
They’ll look at us and point at us
And when they’ll shout, “Hurray!”
We’re great but no one knows it
But they will some day.

I Wanna Be A Dog!
Oh I wanna be a dog
I wanna wag my tail
chase cars, knock over garbage cans
bite the lady that brings me the mail.
Oh I wanna be a dog
I wanna dig big holes
I wanna chase French Poodles and Bassett Hounds
And look for telephone poles.
Chorus
Oh I wanna have dog breath
I wanna learn to growl
Scratch fleas and ticks
Run after sticks
The moon is gonna make me HOWL!!!
I wanna be a dog
I wanna big wet nose
I wanna run on the street
Get mud on my feet
And put ‘em all over your clothes.
Chorus
I wanna be a dog
I wanna lie around
Bein’ a human these days is gettin’ a little crazy
I just wanna be a hound
Bein’ a human these days is gettin’ a little crazy
I just wanna be a HOUND!

Arizona Cowboy
I’m an Arizona, Arizona Arizona star
And I come from the West
Where the cowpokes are
I can ride ‘em, I can rope ‘em
I can show ‘em how it’s done
I’m a rootin’ tootin’ cowboy
With my sixshooter gun
Dum da da dum dum
Bang! Bang!
All Night, All Day
All night, all day, angels watchin' over me, my Lord.
All night, all day, angels watching over me.
Now I lay me down to sleep, angels watchin' over me, my Lord.
Pray the Lord my soul to keep, angels watchin' over me.
If I die before I wake, angels watchin' over me , my Lord,
Pray the Lord my soul to take, angels watchin' over me.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yes She Can
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies, you gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven, or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do, have 'em ready at my door
And I'll love ya till I die.
Tune: She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain
They're made out of sugar and butter and flour
You put 'em in the oven about a quarter hour,
But the thing that gives them their magic power
Is the chocolate chips inside.
You can't eat one, you can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing to do
But clean your plate, and eat the crumbs too
Then go and find some more
Now when I die, I don't want wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and someone that brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day
Can a woman fly an airplane?
YES she can, yes she can!
Can a woman build a building?
Can a woman fight a fire?
Can a woman change a tire?
Can a woman lead a choir?
Can a woman be a doctor?
Can a woman drive a tractor?
Can a woman lead a nation?
Can she run a TV station?
Can she head a corporation?
Can a woman be a lawyer?
Can a woman fix an engine?
Can a woman be a drummer?
Can a woman be a plumber?
Can she play ball in the summer?
(Slower)
Just you wait 'til we're older then
you'll see.
We'll be women in tomorrow's
history.
As we grow up through the years
We will sing out loud and clear!
Can we start the process here?
YES we can, yes we can!
Found a Peanut
Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut over there,
Thought I'd eat it, thought I'd eat it, thought I'd eat it, didn’t care.
Rather tasty, rather tasty, rather tasty but now,
Got a pain, got a pain, got a pain, don't know how.
Fetch a doctor, fetch a doctor, fetch a doctor, fetch him quick.
Appendicitis, appendicitis, appendicitis, feeling sick
Cut him open, cut him open, cut him open, save his life.
Sew him up, sew him up, sew him up around my knife.
The Backwards Song
Well, I walked up the door
And I opened the stairs
Said my pajamas
And put on my prayers
Turned on the bed
And jumped into the light
All because you kissed me * good night
Cut him open, cut him open, cut him open ‘til it’s found,
Sew him up, sew him up, have you seen my specs around.
Cut him open, cut him open, cut him open, - ad nauseam.
80
Well, I woke in the morning
And I scrambled my shoes
Shined up my eggs
And toasted the news
Buttered my tie
And took another bite
All because you kissed me,
Never could resist me,
All because you kissed me* good night!
* blow a kiss

Say When
Say when, will we ever meet again
Say when, my friend, say when.
Say where, and I’ll meet you right there
Say where, my friend say where.
Say why, do we have to say goodbye
Say why, my friend, say why.
Say when, say where, say why.
Kum Ba Yah
Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah.
Oh Lord, kum ba yah.
Someone's singing, Lord, kum ba yah.
Oh Lord, kum ba yah.
Someone's crying, Lord, kum ba yah...
Someone's praying, Lord, kum ba yah...
(repeat first verse)

Alligator
Chorus:
Alligator, Alligator
Can be your friend
Can be your friend
Can be your friend too!
The alligator is my friend,
He can be your friend too,
If only you would understand
That he has feelings too!
Chorus
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-G-O
The alligator smiles and grins.
He never sings the blues.
I’d rather wear him on my shirt,
Than wear him on my shoes!
Chorus
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-O
The alligator ate my friend.
He can eat your friend too,
If only you would understand,
That he gets hungry too!!
Chorus
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)

oh!
All Things Shall Perish
All things shall perish from under the sky
Music alone shall live
Never to die

I love you, I love.
Skidamerinky-do,
I love you, I love you,

I love you like the devil,
Oh skidamerinky-dinky-dink,
Skidamerinky-do,
I love you, I love.

Gone the sun from the lake, from the hill, from the sky.
All is well safely rest, God is nigh.

For the days ‘neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, ‘neath the sky.
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

The longer you wear them the blacker they get
Some day I think that I’ll launder them
Something keeps telling me Don’t do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet, NOT YET!

Brownie Smile Song
I’ve something in my pocket;
It belongs across my face.
And I keep it very close at hand
In a most convenient place.
I’m sure you couldn’t guess it
If you guessed a long, long while.
So I’ll take it out and put it on -It’s a great big Brownie Smile!

I Have a Little Puppy
How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?
(Tune - Brownie Smile Song)
I have a little puppy
He has a stubby tail,
He isn't very chubby,
He's skinny as a rail.
He'll always be a puppy,
He'll never be a hound,
They sell him at the butcher's store
For thirty cents a pound.
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale
Bow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow,
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow,
HOT DOG!
I read in the papers there are robbers
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
California Babe
I am a California, California, California babe
and I come from the west where the surfers catch a wave.
I can ride ‘em, I can surf ‘em, I can show ‘em how it’s done
I’m a rootin’ tootin’ surfer with my wet suit on.
Dum da da da da HANG TEN!
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for walks
Girl Scouts Together
Down by the Old Mill Stream
Down by the old (not the new, but the old)
Mill stream (not the river but, the stream)
Where I first (not last, but first)
Met you (not me, but you)
With your eyes of blue (not green, but blue)
Dressed in gingham too (not three, but too)
You were sixteen (not six, but sixteen)
My village queen (not king, but queen)
Down by the old (not new, but the old)
Mill stream (not the river, but the stream)
8
(sung moderately slowly)
Girl Scouts together, that is our song,
Winding the old trails rocky and long.
Learning our motto, living our creed,
Girl Scouts together in ev'ry good deed.
Girl Scouts together, happy are we,
Friendly to neighbors far o’er the sea,
Faithful to country, loyal to home
Known as true Girl Scouts wherever we roam.
Girl Scouts together, Onward we grow
Joining as sisters, Stronger we grow
Mothers and lawyers, Women in space
We know no boundaries, The futures’ our place.

Barges
Barges, I would like to go with you;
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea,
And the barges too go silently.
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red,
You can see them flickering far ahead.
Friends
Friends are nothing 'til they sing.
Together, they must sing the whole day.
They must sing the night away.
They must sing, together they must sing.
Other verses:
Friends are nothing 'til they laugh...
Friends are nothing 'til they cry...
Friends are nothing 'til they love...
Friends are nothing 'til they live...
(last verse)
Friends are nothing ‘til they,
Part with teardrops in their eyes.
They must go their separate ways,
And hope to meet again someday.
How my heart longs to sail away with you
As you sail across the ocean blue.
But I must sit beside my window dear,
And watch you sail away from here.
Make New Friends
Make new friends
But keep the old;
One is silver
And the other’s gold.
A circle’s round,
It has no end.
That’s how long I want
to be your friend
I have a hand,
And you have another.
Put them together
and we have each other.
Old Lady Leary
Late last night, when we were all in bed
Old lady Leary lit the lantern in the shed
And when the cow kicked it over
She winked her eye and said
“There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight!!!”
Fire, fire, fire
Water, water, water
Save my child, save my child
Jump lady jump!!!
AHHHHHHHH!

Kookaburra
I Love the Mountains
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
Merry merry gay your life must be
Ha, ha, ha!
I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills
I love the flowers, I love the chaparral
I love the fireside, when all the lights are low,
Boom-de-ya-da
Boom-de-ya-da
Boom-de-ya-da
Boom-de-ya-da
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me
Yum, yum, yum!
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop Kookaburra, stop kookaburra
Don’t you dare count me!
Super California Surfers
(to the tune of Supercalifragalisticexpialidocious)
Super California surfers
Experts on the ocean
Even thought some of them do not wear suntan lotion
When they hit the waves so hard they’re always in the motion
Experts on the ocean!
Um didalittle um dittle aya, Um didalittle um dittle aya
I was afraid to surf when I was just a lad
My father took my board away and told me I was bad
Then one day I learned a word that all the surfers know
Experts on the ocean!
74
Living in the tents and cabins, under the watch of God
He made the pathways, that our feet have trod,
I love to live and I live to love for
All these things, oh
Boom-de-ya-da
Boom-de-ya-da
Boom-de-ya-da
Boom-de-ya-da
We camp together, travel down the streams
Watch for sunrise and share our fondest dreams
I love to live, and live to love for
All these beautiful things, oh
Boom-de-ya-da
Boom-de-ya-da
Boom-de-ya-da
Beetle Song
(same tune as "There's a Tavern in a Town")
There was a Girl Scout went to camp, went to camp
She went to camp without a lamp, without a lamp
When she found a beetle in her bed
This is what the Girl Scout said, Girl Scout said.
Oh beetle, beetle, go away, go away
I am afraid you can not stay, can not stay
Remember what the Girl Scout Leader said
No two people in one bed, in one bed!

With a sandwich in his paw (echo)
ALL: The cutest bear I ever saw
Was sitting in the road
With a sandwich in his paw.
I asked him if
He’d pose with me
He said he would
For a nominal fee.
I walked right up
And stood by him
He opened his mouth
And shoved me in.
And now I sit
Inside this bear
I need some HELP
And a little fresh air.
The moral of
This story proves
Don’t talk to bears
In tennis shoes!
All Girl Scouts
(Tune: Generic Army Marching Cadence)
City Girls
I don't know but I've been told,
All Girl Scouts are good as gold.
I am one, and I say it's true,
Scouting's great for me and you.
Chorus
All around the mountain Betsy, all around the mountain to the se-e-e-a,
if I ever see her again, may the good Lord remember me, yee-haw!
Chorus:
Sound off: 1, 2,
Sound off: 3, 4.
Bring it on down: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, - 3,4
City girls, they wear those fancy perfumes,
Country girls, they wear the sa-ame,
Mountain girls go au naturelle,
But they get there just the same, Yee-haw!
Chorus
Daisy has a disc of blue,
They are Scouts that are brand new.
They are cute and they are sweet
Daisy Scouts are fun to meet.
Brownies have a disc of green
They are second on the scene.
They wear a uniform that's brown,
Their smile song can erase a frown.
Junior level is the next,
A yellow disk is on their vest.
They say that camping is big fun,
And they earn badges one by one.
Cadettes are teens that care a lot,
Their service projects hit the spot.
A white disc is the one they wear
The name Girl Scout they're proud to wear.
Senior discs are red, I know.
They are Girl Scouts on the go.
With Wider Opportunities,
Some Girl Scouts go overseas.
Leaders have no disc at all
They come all sizes, big and small.
They share their time and talents too.
They make Girl Scouting great for you.

You have given me many treasures,

Land of hope and liberty,
Freedom rings from every mountain,

I Just Wanna Be Friends
On My Honor
I don’t want to march in the infantry
Ride in the cavalry
Shoot the artillery
I don’t want to fly over Germany
I just wanna be friends, HI!
Chorus :
On my honor, I will try.
There's a duty to be done and I say I.
There's a reason to be here for a reason above.
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name.
If I've done any harm, then I'm to blame.
If I've helped someone, then I've helped me.
And I've opened up my eyes to see.
I don’t want to march in the infantry
Ride in the cavalry
Shoot the artillery
I don’t want to fly over Germany
Chorus
I've tucked away a song or two.
If you're feeling low, there's one for you.
If you need a friend, then I will come.
And there's many more where I come from.

Friendship is the strangest thing
if you keep it to yourself, no reward will bring
but you gave it away, you gave it to me
and from now on great friends we'll be
Chorus
Come with me where the fire burns bright,
We can even see better by the candle's light.
And we'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow,
Than we've ever found in a year or so.
Chorus
We've a promise to always keep.
And to pray "Softley Falls" before we sleep.
We are Girl Scouts together and when we're gone,
We'll still be trying and singing this song.

Going to Kentucky
Two children stand in the middle of the circle formed by the rest of the
children. After the first run through of the some, the center children
choose where they are going, why and what is going to be in their hair.
Sing the song again with their choices. Everyone claps and dances in
place. On the shake it baby part, everyone shakes down to the ground
and back up again. The two in the middle twirl around, pointing until
Stop! Whoever they are pointing to on stop is in the middle next.
(spoken rhythmically, starting quietly, each verse louder then the one before)
You can't play with my little red wagon.
The axle's broken and the wheels are saggin'.

A little bit louder and a little bit worse.
Third verse, same as the first,
A little bit louder and a little bit worse.

While going to Kentucky,

Shake it like a milkshake,
and do the best you can!
Now rumble to the bottom;
now rumble to the top!
Turn and turn and turn until you make stop!

Taps II
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.
My Mommy gave me a nickel
she asked me to buy a pickle
but I didn't buy a pickle instead, bubble gum
My Mommy gave me a dime
she asked me to buy a lime
but I didn't buy a lime instead, bubble gum
My Mommy gave me a quarter
she asked me to buy some water
but I didn't buy some water instead, bubble gum
My Mom gave me a dollar
she asked me to buy a collar
but I didn't buy a collar instead, bubble gum
My Mom gave me a five
she asked me to stay alive
but I didn't stay alive instead I choked on bubble gum
Actions: At each chorus, stretch imaginary bubble gum between your hands
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

God Bless America
HERMIE THE WORM
"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "
Chorus:
Sittin' on a fence post, chewing my bubble gum,
Playin' with my yo-yo (boing, boing)
And along came Hermie the Worm
God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.
And he was this big . . .
(hold up thumb and pointer finger)
And I said, "Hermie, what happened?"
And he said, "I ate my breakfast."
(Chorus)
I Am Thankful To Be an American
I am thankful to be an American,
To live in the greatest land of all.
In a nation blessed, it's the very best,
I can stand with my head up tall.
I am thankful to be an American,
To be born in a land that's free.
I am thankful to God for allowing me to be,
An American.
Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle went to town, a-riding on a pony;
Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.
Chorus
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy.
Father and I went down to camp along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys, as thick as hasty pudding.
There was Colonel Washington, upon a strapping stallion,
A-giving orders to his men, I guess there was a million.
And there I saw a cannon barrel as big as mother's basin,
And every time they touched it off they scampered like the nation.

(hold hands apart)
And he said, "I ate my lunch."
(Chorus)
(Hold hands further apart)
And he said, "I ate my dinner."
(Chorus)
(Hold hands far apart)
And I said, "Hermie, what happened?
And he said, "I ate my dessert."
(Chorus)
(Hold up thumb and pointer finger)
And he said, "I BURPED!"

America the Beautiful
O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
68
The Star Spangled Banner
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

The natural wonders all about.

I am needed to be
To live by the Law and my promise
But most of all to always be me.

Camp Winacka Song
Day - O
Chorus:
Camp Winacka, the oaks and the pines
Live there together, why don’t you and I?
Chorus:
There’s a place in the mountains
Where the sun and the snow
Nourish the earth and the wild things grow
The hawk and the blue jay, the squirrel and raccoon
Come in the morning and leave by the moon.
(Chorus)
There’s covered wagons where you’ll make your bed
Unroll your blanket and lay down your head
You can row on the waters in a dugout canoe
Walk across meadows and rolling hills, too.
(Chorus)
Ride spirited ponies on Boulder Creek Road
Pull back your arrows and let it all go
You can gaze at the heavens and watch falling stars.
Thank God for living and be who you are.
(Chorus)
Day - O, Just a Day - O
Daylight come , and we like it out here.

Pick up the litter if you please

See all the wonders within the stream
Let’s keep the waters fresh and clean

C’mon everybody, put your heads together
We can make a difference and make it better

Grand Old Duke of York
Crocodile Song
Oh, she sailed away, on a bright and sunny day
On the back of a crocodile.
You see, said she, he’s as tame as he can be
I’ll ride him down the Nile.
But the croc winked his eye,
As she bade them all goodbye wearing a happy smile.
At the end of the ride, the lady was inside
And the smile was on the crocodile!
20
The grand old duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill and
He marched them down again.
And when you're up you're up
And when you're down you're down
And when you're only half way up
You're neither up nor down.

Clementine
House at Pooh Corner
Chorus:
Oh, my darling, oh my darling,
Oh, my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever.
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I wandered further today than I should
And I can’t seem to find my way back to the
‘wood.
In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
and his daughter, Clementine.
(Chorus)
Light she was, and like a feather
And her shoes were number nine.
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.
(Chorus)
Drove she ducklings, to the water,
Every morning just at nine.
Hit her foot against a splinter;
Fell into the foaming brine.
(Chorus)
Saw her lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, mighty fine,
But alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.
(Chorus)
In the corner of the churchyard,
Where the Myrtle boughs entwine,
Grow the roses and the posies,
Fertilized by Clementine.
(Chorus)
How I missed her, how I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine.
Til I kissed her little sister,
And forgot my Clementine.
(Chorus)
Now you campers, learn a lesson,
From this tragic tale of mine.
Artificial respiration
Would have saved poor Clementine.
(Chorus)
64
So help me if you can, I’ve got to get
Back to the house at Pooh corner by one.
You’d be surprised there’s so much to be done
Count all the bee’s in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh doesn’t know what to do.
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose.
He came to me asking help and advice
And from there no one knows where he goes
So I sent to him to ask of the owl if he’s there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear.
So help me if you can, I’ve got to get
Back to the days Christopher Robin Pooh corner by one.
You’d be surprised there’s so much to be done
Count all the bee’s in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh.
Canoe Round
My pad-dle’s keen and bright, Flash-ing with sil-ver.

Boom, Boom,
Ain’t It Great To be Crazy?
Chorus:
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Sugar and spice and everything nice,
Way up north where there’s ice and snow,
There lived a penguin by the name of Joe.
He got so tired of black and white
That he wore pink socks to the party that night!
(Chorus)
Way down south where bananas grow,
An ant stepped on an elephant’s toe.
The elephant cried with tears in his eyes,
“Pick on somebody your own size!”
(Chorus)
A horse and a cow and three blind mice
Were in a barnyard shooting dice.
The horse slipped and fell on a flea.
“Whoops!” said the flea, there’s a horse on me!
(Chorus)
Old King Cole was a merry old soul;
He tried to get to heaven on a telephone pole.
One foot slipped and down he fell,
Instead of going to heaven, he went to...oops!
(Chorus)

One for the Money
Chorus:
One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready,
As off into the world to find my fortune I go.
If I were a baker in a bakery shop, I’d bake and I’d bake
And I’d never stop, ‘til all the world had cookies and pies
And love was the color of all children’s eyes.
(Chorus)
If I were a butcher, I would be able to set the whole world at my table.
I’d work all night and not go to bed
‘til the world was the color of the very well fed.
(Chorus)
A candlestick maker I shall be. I’d light a candle for the world to see,
And one fine day when the darkness is gone,
Love shall be the color of dawn.
(Chorus)
I Wuv a Wabbit
Gilligan’s Island
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin’ man,
The skipper brave and true,
Five passengers set sail that day,
For a three-hour tour...a three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
The Minnow would be lost...
The Minnow would be lost.
The ship set ground on the shore
Of this uncharted desert isle,
With Gilligan, the Skipper, too,
The millionaire, and his wife,
The movie star, the professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan’s Isle.
I wuv a wabbit, a cwazy, cwazy wabbit.
Hop, hop, bunny, bunny, hop, hop, bunny, bunny,
Hop, hop, ho, ho, hop, hop.
He don’t wike cawotts, I’m cwazy over cawotts.
Chew, chew, bunny, bunny, chew, chew, bunny, bunny,
Chew, chew, ho, ho, chew, chew.
When I go to beddy-bye, I kiss he and he kiss I.
But if he’s been a such an such,
He has to sleep in his wabbit hutch.
Oh, I wuv a wabbit, a cwazy, cwazy wabbit.
Hop, hop, bunny, bunny, hop, hop, bunny, bunny,
Hop, hop, ho, ho, hop, hop.

The Beverly Hillbillies
Marvelous Toy
Come and listen to a story bout a man named Jed,
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed.
And then one day he was shootin’ at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin’ crude.
Oil, that is! Black gold, Texas tea!
When I was just a wee little lass, full of health and joy
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was, many colors bright
From the moment I laid eyes on it,
It became my heart’s delight.
Well, the first thing you know, old Jed’s a millionaire.
The kin folk said, “Jed, move away from there.”
Said, “California is the place you ought to be,”
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is! Swimming pools, movie stars!
Chorus:
It went zip when it moved
And pop when it stopped
And burr when it stood still.
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up,
I had great surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like two green eyes.
I first pushed one, and then the other,
And then I twisted its lid,
And when I set it down again,
This is what it did.
(Chorus)
It first marched right, and then marched left,
And then marched under a chair.
And when I looked where it had gone,
It wasn’t even there.
I started to cry but my daddy laughed
Cause he knew that I would find.
When I turned around my marvelous toy
Would be chugging from behind.
(Chorus)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems
And I’ve got my own little boy
And just yesterday I gave to him
My marvelous little toy.
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
As he gave a squeal of glee
Neither one of us knows just what it is
But he loves it, just like me!
It still goes...
(Chorus)
The Brady Bunch
Here’s the story, of a lovely lady.
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold, like their mother’s,
The youngest one in curls.
Here’s the story, of a man named Brady.
Who was busy with three boys of this own.
They were four men, living all together,
Yet they were all alone.
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
And they knew that it was much more than a hunch,
That this group must somehow form a family,
That’s the way they all became the Brady bunch.
The Brady bunch, the Brady bunch,
That’s the way they became the Brady bunch!
Down by the Banks
Down by the banks of the Hanky Panky,
Where the bullfrog jumps from bank to banky
And the eeps, opps, ops, oops
And the bullfrog jumps and lands on you.

Princess Pat
Little Cottage in a Wood
The Princess Pat
Led Infantry.
She sailed across
The Bering Sea.
She sailed across
the Channel, too.
And she took with her
A ricky-dan-doo.
Little cottage in a wood,
Little man at the window stood;
Saw a rabbit running by,
Knocking at the door.
“Help me! Help me! Help me!” he said,
“Ere the hunter shoot me dead!”
“Come little rabbit, come inside;
Safely here abide.”
(Chorus)
A ricky-dan-doo,
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat.
It's red and gold
And purple too.
That's why it's called
A ricky-dan-doo
Buddies and Pals
You and me, we're going to be partners
and me, we're going to be pals
You and me, we're going to be partners
Buddies and pals
Buddies and pals
Go Well and Safely
Now Captain Jack
Led a mighty fine crew.
He sailed across
The Channel too.
But his ship sank,
And yours will too,
If you forget
A ricky-dan-doo.
(Chorus)
(Hambani Kahle)
Go well and safely,
Go well and safely,
Go well and safely,
The Lord be ever with you.Que te vaya bien,

Que te vaya bien,
Que Dios te a companara.

Our Cabaña Song
Linstead Market
1. ‘Neath the grand Sierra Madre,
on a plain in Mexico,
Lies our beautiful Cabaña where
Girl Scouts and Guides go.
Carimeyaki, go Linstead Market
Not a quadee what sell
Carimeyaki, go Linstead Market
Chorus
Oh, come then to see the mountains,
the cactus and sunny skies;
Hear the cricket in the evening,
See the white moon arise.
2. When you see the warm red roofs,
You think of hearts that glow with cheer,
And the walls of sturdy stonework
Stand for friendship so dear.
Each day there is filled with laughter,
Each evening is filled with song,
And our stay in Our Cabaña
Gives us memories life-long.
3. When we go to Our Cabaña,
We will find ourselves at home;
There's a greeting smile so friendly,
And a handshake so warm.
So come now to Our Cabaña
World friendship to increase
And carry to your homeland
International peace.

Hug me Momma, don’t squeeze me, hug me

I Climbed a Mountain
Oleana
I climbed a mountain, saw the other side
And can sleep now, because I’m satisfied.
I saw a rich man, who showed that he could care
And saw a poor man, who had enough to share.
Refrain:
Chorus:
And there’s peace in the valley
And there’s hope in the land
And there’s joy in the children
And there’s love, beautiful love
In the heart of man.
Oh, to be in Oleana, that's where I long to be;
Than to be in Norway and drag these chains of slavery.
I saw a schoolhouse where every child could
go
I saw a table that welcomed everyone
I saw a city that had no slums to hide
And saw a prison that had no one inside.
(Chorus)
I saw a lion lay down beside a lamb.
I saw a white dove asleep upon the sand.
I saw Caesar give up his mighty throne.
And I saw Johnny when he came marching home.
(Chorus)
Edelweiss
Ole Oleana, Ole Oleana,
Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Oleana.
In Oleana land is free, the wheat and corn just plant themselves;
Then grow a good five feet a day, while you're in bed--just rest yourself.
Little roasted piggies rush about the city streets
Inquiring so politely if, a slice of ham you'd like to eat.
Ole Oleana, that's where I want to go;
The poorest wretch in Norway becomes a duke in a year or so.
Circle of Friends
Friends, friends, the more that we know the bigger and better our circle will grow.
Don't stop with just one, more friends are more fun. Keep building our circle of
friends.
Each happy scout will go find a friend to bring to our circle that has no end. Each
friend that we bring will widen our ring and add to our circle of friends.
Friends, Friends, we all are inside. Our circle is big and our circle is wide.
Now isn't it fun when ev-er-y-one is inside our circle of friends.
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
every morning you greet me.
Small and white, clean and bright,
you look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow,
bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
bless my homeland forever.

I Know a Place
I know a place where no one ever goes.
There's peace and quiet, beauty and repose.
It's hidden in a valley beside a mountain stream,
And lying there beside the stream I find that I can dream
Only of things of beauty to the eye;
Snow-peaked mountains a-tow'ring to the sky.
Now I know that God made this place for me.
The Buddies Song
Buddies are forever,
Buddies are for fun,
Buddies are for hiking in the rain
And in the sun.
Buddies make you feel good
When you’re feeling down.
Buddies, buddies, buddies,
They’re good to have around!
(spoken)
Everybody turn around and say,
“Hello, how are you?”
Now turn around and say,
“Let’s be friends!”

On the Loose
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 only have a moment,
And a whole world yet to see,
I’ll be looking for tomorrow...on the loose.
Have you ever seen a sunset
Turn the sky completely red?
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars,
With a pine bough for your head?
Do you sit and talk with friends
Though a word is never said?
Then you’re just like me
And you’ve been on the loose.
(Chorus)
There’s a trail that I’ll be hiking
Just to see where it may go.
Many places yet to visit,
Many people yet to know
So in following my dreams
I will live and I will grow
On the 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 any plan
But in time when you are ready
Come and join me,
Take my hand
And together we’ll find love out...on the loose.
(Chorus)
In this world that I am traveling
I shall think of you each day
Remembering your smile
For it seems like yesterday
That we sat beneath the stars
And we dreamed about today
We’ve come together
And we are on the loose.
57
Osa’s Song
Finally found a place where I can be myself.
Finally found a friend that can call my own.
Finally found a dream and I will see it through
And I’m never going to let it slip away.
Wandering through the world for a place called home,
Passing through the towns and the city lights,
Finally found the hills where the trees grow tall
Searching through the crowd for a friendly face,
Catching only frowns and troubled brows,
Finally found a smile and a soothing word,
Wild horse and slushy, dry lakes, and peaks
Finding the love that everyone seeks
Hiking to rainbows, sunsets and stars
Just finding out who we are.
(Chorus)
Though I felt the glory through another’s light,
I was hoping for the power from their might.
Finally saw myself and my own true strength
We shall return here, one lucky day
Our hearts will guide us, they’ve learned the way
People in cities don’t understand
Falling in love with the land.
Dear Friend
Dear friend of mine, met not long ago
Been so good to me, why, I do not know.
And now you’ve gone away, forever and a day
And this I have to say, I’ll miss you always.
Dear friend of mine, tell me what to see
Where you say live, you wander just like me.
Dear friend of mine, I love you in every way.
What you mean to me, I can never say.
And now you’ve gone away, forever and a day
And this I have to say, I’ll miss you always.
Please stay.

Moon on the Meadow
Chorus:
Moon on the meadow,
Bugs in our ears,
Smoke in our eyes,
Wet wood and tears,
On up the meadow, water somewhere
We were the only ones there.
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears,
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
On up the meadow, water somewhere
With you, my friend, I am there.
G For Generosity
She wears a G for generosity,
She wears a I for interest, too
She wears a R for responsibility
She wears a L for loyalty, for loyalty.
She wears a S for her sincerity
She wears a C for courtesy, for courtesy
She wears an O U T for outdoor life,
you bet your life
And that’s the kind of girl I want to be,
Girl Scout!

Magic Penny
Thank God for Kids
Chorus:
Love is something if you give it away.
Give it away. Give it away.
You’ll end up having more!
If it weren’t for kids, have you ever thought...
There wouldn’t be a Santa Claus!
Just look what the stork has brought,
Thank God for kids.
It’s just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight, and you won’t have any.
Lend it, spend it,
And you’ll have so many,
They’ll roll right over the floor!
(Chorus)
So let’s go dancing ‘til the break of day,
If there’s a piper, he will play.
You’ll end up having more!
(Chorus)
Stand By Me
When the night has come and the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light I see...
No, I won’t be afraid; no, I won’t be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
Chorus:
So, darling, darling, stand by me, Oh, stand by me,
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me.
If the sky that we look upon should crumble and fall,
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea...
I won’t cry, I won’t cry; No, I won’t shed a tear,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
(Chorus)
30
Chorus:
Thank God for kids, there’s magic for awhile.
A special kind of sunshine in a smile.
Did you ever stop to think and wonder why
The nearest thing to heaven is a child?
And we don’t live in a quiet house,
Without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse
As we sit on the couch,
Thank God for kids.
(Chorus)
Daddy, how does this thing fly?
A hundred other whereas and whys
I don’t know but I try,
Thank God for kids.
(Chorus)
So when you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord for his guiding light.
Pray they turn out right,
Thank God for kids.
Oo, ooh, Thank God for kids.
Daisy On My Toe
There's a daisy on my toe,
It is not real, it does not grow,
It's just a picture of a flower,
'Cause it looks neat while taking a shower.
It's on the second toe of my left foot,
A stem and flower, it has no root,
'Cause that wouldn't look good.
There's a daisy on my toe,
My right foot loves my left foot so (smack.)

Magic
Bats Eat Bugs
Bats eat bugs, they don’t eat people.
Bats eat bugs, they don’t fly in your hair.
Bats eat bugs, they eat insects for dinner.
That’s why they’re flyin’ up there.
Coyotes eat rabbits, they don’t eat people
Coyotes eat rabbits, cause you’re too big to bite
Coyotes eat rabbits, they eat rabbits for dinner
That’s why they’re out in the night
Snakes eat mice, they don’t eat people
Snakes eat mice, that’s why they’re on the ground
Snakes eat mice, they eat mice for dinner
And they don’t want you hangin’ around
Bears eat berries, they don’t eat people
Bears eat berries, they don’t eat you or me
Bears eat berries, but they might eat your dinner
So you better hang it high in a tree!
Nothin’ out there, wants to eat you
Nothin’ out there wants to make you its meal
Nothin’ out there wants to eat you
‘Cause they know how sick they would feel
When I was young, I thought the stars were made for wishing on.
And every hole in a tree, would hide a leprechaun.
Old houses all had secret rooms, if one could find the key.
I do believe in magic, I believe.
Chorus:
Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain.
Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again.
Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave.
I do believe in magic, I believe.
When I grew up, the grown-ups said one day I’d wake to find,
That magic was a childish game I’d have to leave behind.
Like clothes that would no longer fit, or toys that I’d ignore,
I’d not believe in magic anymore.
(Chorus)
A child, a friend, a smile, a song,
The courage to stand tall,
And loves the greatest magic of them all.
(Chorus)
Reach Out and Touch
Somebody's Hand
Chorus:
Reach out and touch somebody's hand,
Make this world a better place if you can.
Oh, reach out and touch somebody's hand,
Make this world a better place if you can.
First verse:
Oh, we're all Girl Scouts together all over this land
So let us join hands together whenever we can.
Second verse:
We can have peace and harmony all over the land,
If we just reach out and touch somebody's hand.

Dinosaur Song
One day while the weather was cloudy and gray
I wished that someone would come over and play
I heard a knock, knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur.
Chorus:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
Big as a house, twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as Sequoia trees, teeth big as piano keys.
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur.
We hopscotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty, mile after mile,
In one great big gulp, we just drank up the Nile.
Chorus
Then on to Hawaii, far over the sea
And we'd learn to surf, my good buddy and me
In grass skirts and flowers, we'll hula all day
Oh I am so glad he came over to play
Chorus
Our next stop is Holland, the tulips we'll see
We'll stroll on a dike by the great Zyder Zee
We'll munch a friend eel, and some good Edam cheese
We'll see lots of windmills, a sight sure to please.
Chorus
Let's go to Alaska to see Eskimos
We'll need heavy boots and some very warm clothes
With penguins and seals, polar bears and reindeer
The beautiful great northern lights will be there.
Chorus
32
Rainbow Made of Children
(chorus)
We’re a rainbow, made of children, we’re an army singin’ songs.
There’s no weapons that can stop us, rainbow love is much too strong.
I was raised in Mississippi, sayin’ “yes, sir” to a man
But I found that, it got me nowhere, so I ain’t gonna do it again.
Well, my grandma, she was a princess and my grandpa, he was a chief
But thanks to those of our good neighbors, both my folks live on relief.
I was taught that black was evil. I was taught that white was good
But in a rainbow, made of children, every color’s understood.
It’s not the winning that’s important, but it’s how you play the game
But that’s not how some folks see it, and that’s not how peace is made.
(repeat first verse)
Shooting Star
Please won’t you catch a shooting star for me
And take it with you on your way.
Although we just met, you’re the one I won’t forget.
Hope some kind of wind blows you back my way.
Chorus:
And I was thinking maybe somewhere down the road,
After all our stories have been told,
I’ll sit and think of you, the good friend I once knew,
Shot through my life like a shooting star.
Sometimes I know that part of you will show,
Deep in my heart and in my smile.
There’ll always be a part of you deep inside my heart
And I’ll know just when to let it show.
(Chorus)
You are so dear, you’re my bright and shining star.
You brighten up each and every day.
You are so near but soon you’ll be so far,
So why not hold my hand today.
(Chorus)
53
With People I Like
Chorus:
It’s so nice to be here with, people I like
And it’s so nice to hear them all say,
That it’s so nice to be here with, people I like
And with them to share a new day.
(chorus)
It’s a new day we’re living in,
Filled with bounty and praise.
The cold and the darkness are driven away
While the morning light blesses our days.
(chorus)
The people I like are the, people I find
Who live with a smile of care.
Their looks and their lives are, different than mine
But together this new day we share.
(chorus)
Time spent apart seems to, fade away
Smiling faces warm us inside.
We can talk without saying a word,
Our love is deep it does not die.
Jamie Boy
Chorus:
Jamie Boy, Jamie Boy, I see you walking
By the water the water the, shiny blue water.
My Jamie Boy, Jamie Boy, I see you walking all alone.
Why are you walking all alone?
Somebody, should be walking with Jamie Boy.
Should be talking with Jamie Boy.
Somebody I know...duba, duba, duba, duba.
(chorus)
Somebody is so eager to walk with you.
Is so eager to talk with you.
Somebody I know...duba, duba, duba, duba.
(chorus)
It is I who is eager to walk with you
And is eager to talk to you.
I love you so...duba, duba, duba, duba.
(chorus)
I Love My Aardvark
Dreams
Chorus:
May all your dreams bloom like daisies in the sun
May you always have stars in your eyes
May you not stop running
Not until your race is won
May you always have blue skies
A dream is something you can make to keep within your heart
To build on when you’re sad or when your world’s been torn apart.
A dream is something all your own that no one else can steal
You can make your dream come real.
(Chorus)
You can share a smile with a stranger that you meet
You can share your money with a beggar on the street
But you can only share a dream when love can set it free.
So, why don’t you share yours with me?
(Chorus)
52
I love my aardvark, my aardvark loves me
I love my aardvark by the cottonwood tree

octopus...slurp

Girl Scouts..."Who me?"
Come, Come, Light Up the Fire
Come, come light up the fire
Come, come, join in the ring.
Here find friends to inspire
Stories to tell, music to sing.

Dona
I’ve been sitting here thinking about leaving
When I wanted to stay the most,
So I went outside and left a piece of my heart
Buried by the third fence post.
How the winds are laughing.
They laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And the day and half the summer night.
Dona dona, dona dona dona donnna
Dona dona dona donnna
Dona dona dona do.
Chorus:
So when tomorrow morning comes, I’ll be
smiling
Though I might be a little down.
Although my body’s leaving, I’ll still be around.
Stop complaining, said the farmer
Who told you a calf to be?
Why don’t you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free?
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reasons why.
But whomever values freedom
Like the swallow has learnt to fly.
When you’re young and when you’re restless
Like the swallow you learn to fly
But when you’re old and when you’re weary
Like a calf you must learn to die.
Shalom Chaverim

Fare-well, fare-well! Till we meet a-gain,
Till we meet a-gain, fare-well, fare-well.

Third Fence Post
On a wagon bound for market
There’s a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him there’s a swallow,
Winging swiftly through the sky.
I’ve been sitting here thinking about smiling,
And the warmth and the love you give.
So I went inside your little house
And felt glad this is how you live.
(Chorus)
I’ve been sitting here thinking about flowers
And sunshine and the happiness of being alive,
Which means I’m thinking of you and the waters
And the mountains and plenty of wide open skies.
(Chorus)
Though my body’s leaving, I’ll still be around
Today is Sunday
Today is Sunday, today is Sunday.
Sunday's church.

Wednesday's string beans.
Tuesday's soup.

To all you little camper
We wish the best to you, Woo!

This Land
This land is your land, this land is my land,
from California to the New York Islands,
from the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters,
this land was made for you and me.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway,
I saw below me that golden valley,
saying, this land was made for you and me.
This land is your land, this land is my land,
from California to the New York Islands,
from the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters,
this land was made for you and me.

There once was a bird so tiny and small
There once was a bird
Only two inches tall.
She sat on her nest and lifted one leg
And she huffed and she puffed
And laid a twenty pound egg!
She said, oo-ah, ah-cha-cha!
She said, Oo-ah, ah-cha-cha!
Well, if you're hereafter
And I'm hereafter
Then who'll be here
Long after, we're gone
But if you're hereafter
And I'm hereafter
Then, oh-ah, ah-cha-cha!
The Brownie Friend-maker Song
Your Brownie hand in my Brownie hand,
And my Brownie hand in your Brownie hand.
Come along with me, and sing along with me!
Yes, I'll come along with you and sing along with you.
Chorus:
Hi! Ho! Friend-makers all.
Hand in hand's the Brownie style.
Hi! Ho! Friend-makers all
Greet you with a Brownie smile.
We have Brownie friends in many lands,
Across the seven sees, the mountains and sands.
Chorus: (repeat)
On Thinking Day our love goes forth to
Ev’ry friend,
A chain of Brownie hands reaching out, their
help to lend.
Mr. Moon
(snap fingers to beat)
Mr. Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
Won’t you please shine down on me?
Oh, Mr. Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
Won’t you come out from behind that tree?
Right over there there’s an owl in a tree.
(dee, dee, dee, dee)
Here he comes swoopin’ down on me.
Oh, Mr. Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
Won’t you please shine down on,
talk about your shine on, please shine down on me.
(clap - yeah!)

The Composting Song
(Sung to Home on the Range )
Oh, give trash a home
Where the earthworms roam,
Where the fungus and sow bugs thrive!
Where wearing old pants,
You watch critters like ants
Make composting from thing once alive.
Chorus:
Home, home for our trash
It’s a biodegradable stash,
Where things decompose
Become soil for a rose,
Call it compost...it’s organic mash!
Picking Flowers
When you throw it away
Into landfills today,
Your trash will be here for awhile,
But if you make a heap
Of your veggies and leaves,
You will soon have a compost pile.
(Chorus)
So compost your food,
It’ll do earth some good
To replenish her soil once again.
What you ate last week,
Will be gone when you peak
In your compost heap now and
then
Chicken
C, that's the way it begins
H, that's the second letter in
I, I am the third letter
C, is the fourth letter in that bird, Oh!
K, we're filling in
E, we're near the end
Oh, C-H-I-C-K-E-N,
That's the way you spell "chicken."
Be Kind to Your Web-footed Friends
Be kind to your web-footed friends
For a duck may be somebody's mother.
Be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where the weather's cold and damp.
You may think that this is the end,
Well, it is!
But there is another ending
This is it!
48
(chorus)
Picking flowers in the rain and laughing with the sun,
Trying to teach them how to live by themselves
And still get things done.
Gonna be a counselor at a summer camp,
Gonna find out what it’s all about.
Little eyes are gonna look up at you
And little hands will reach out.
Days are long and the nights are short, pay is so small
And you really don’t know if what you say,
Sinks in at all.
Build a fire, dig a trench, sharpen an axe with a wet stone
And maybe next time when you’re not there
They can do on their own.
And sometimes when things don’t work out right
And we think that we are flops,
They look at us and they smile at us,
And ask us not to stop.
And when it’s all over and it’s time to leave,
We’ll sit and we’ll think,
What parts of us do they taken along
And what parts of them do they leave?
So that’s why I’m here at this summer camp,
And I hope you feel the same way.
There’s a lot to get but there’s more to give
And I hope you’re here to stay.
White Sand and Gray Sand
White sand and gray sand;
Who'll buy my white sand?
Who'll buy my gray sand?

Black Oak
Circle Game
Chorus:
Black Oak, Black Oak
Ooh, baby, let the xylem flow;
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya.
(Repeat)
Yesterday a child went out to wander
Caught a dragon fly inside a jar.
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star.
The gray squirrel told me just the other day;
He found an acorn and he ran away.
He dug a hole and he stuck it in the sand;
And now tall trees grow across the land.
(Chorus)
A Black Oak’s roots grow way down low,
Where water and nutrients begin to flow.
They raise their branches and they wave to the sun.
And now photo-synthesis has begun.
(Chorus)
The Wind In The Willows
The wind in the willows
Sighing like a solitary soul alone.
Charmin' Betsy
Chorus: All around the mountain charmin' Betsy
All around the mountain Laura Lee
If I ever see her again
May the good Lord remember me!
City girls they wear those tight silk skirts
Country girls they wear the same
Mountain girls they wear big overalls
But they get there just the same
(Repeat chorus after each verse)
(2) high heeled shoes..big hiking boots
(3) fancy perfume..go au natural
(4) flush toilets..find a friendly bush
(5) fancy cars..just hop on a horse
38
Chorus:
And the seasons they go ‘round and ‘round
And the painted ponies go up and down.
We’re captive on a carousel of time.
We can’t return, we can only look
Behind from where we came.
And go ‘round, and ‘round, and ‘round in the circle game.
Now the boy’s gone ten times ‘round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams.
Words like when you’re older must appease him
And the promise of “someday” make his dreams.
(Chorus)
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him, take your time, it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow those circles down.
Years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
But there’ll be new dreams, even better dreams and plenty
Before that last revolving year is through.
Sing Together
Sing, sing together,
Merrily merrily sing
Sing, sing together,
Merrily merrily sing,
Sing, sing, sing, sing.

Garden Song
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and a hoe, and a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row,
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
‘Til the rains come tumbling down.
Pullin’ weeds and picking stones, man is made from dreams and bones.
Feel the need to grow my own, cause the time is close at hand.
Pray for rain, sun and rain, find my way in nature’s chain
To my body and my brain, to the music of the land.
Plant your rows straight and wide; nourish it with prayer and song.
Mother earth will make you strong if you give her love and care.
Old crow watching from the leaves, from his perch in yonder trees.
In my garden I am as free as the feathered thief up there.
My Rose She Died
My Rose she died
She died for her love
Her lover he died for sorrow.
They buried them both
In the churchyard
In graves both deep and narrow.
And up from hers'n
They grew a rose
And up from his'n a briar.
They clumbed and clumbed
Up the church tower,
The red rose and the briar.
Chairs To Mend
Chairs to mend, old chairs to mend,
Mackerel, fresh mackerel,
Any old rags, any old rags?

Boogie Woogie Washa-woman
Down in the jungles where nobody goes,
There's a boogie woogie washa-woman,
washin' her clothes.
With a rub-a-dub here and a rub-a-dub there,
A boogie woogie washa-woman,
washin' her clothes.
A diddley I, oh, a boogie, a woogie
Diddley I, oh, a boogie, a woogie,
Diddley I, oh, a boogie, a woogie,
A boogie woogie washa-woman,
washin' her clothes, yah!
Have Fun
Have fun, our motto is.
Have fun, or you will miss
A life of happiness.
While you're young,
Remember, have fun! Remember, have fun!
Have friends, believe in them.
Have friends, receive from them
Good times, until the end.
While you're young,
Remember, have friends! Remember, have friends!
Have faith, in God above.
Have faith, in His great love.
You'll find the peace of doves,
While you're young.
Remember, have faith! Remember, have faith!
Have love, for all that's good.
Have love, it's understood.
You'll live the life you should,
While you're young.
Remember, have love! Remember, have love!

Running Bear
Dem Bones
Chorus:
Oh, Running Bear, loves Little White Dove
With a love as big as the sky.
Oh, Running Bear, loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies.
Lord, he thought he'd make a man
'Dem bones gonna rise again.
So he took a little water and he took a little sand
On one side of the river
Stood Running Bear, Indian brave.
On the other side of the river,
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove was her name
And she was a sight to see,
But their tribes fought together
So their love could never be.
(chorus)
Running Bear jumped into the water,
Little White Dove did the same.
They swam towards each other,
Through the swirling waters they came.
First their eyes met, then their lips touched,
Then the swirling waters pulled them down.
Now they'll always be together,
In their happy hunting ground.
(chorus)
Oh Gee, How Happy I Feel
Oh gee, how happy I feel.
I've got the vision of an automobile.
I don't have worry where I get my next meal,
I'm eating chicken and I don't have to steal.
Everything is going my way
Every dog's gotta' have his day.
Well, I've got mine and I'm ready to say,
Everything, everything,
Everything's going my way!
40
Chorus:
I knows it, knows it, knows it.
Indeed I knows it, brother,
I knows it, whee!
Lord, thought he'd make a woman, too
But he didn't exactly know what to do.
So he took a rib from Adm's side
And he made Miss Ever for to be his bride.
Put 'em in a garden rich and fair,
Said they's be quite happy there.
And of this fruit you shall not eat,
For if you do, my wrath you'll meet.
Eve was tempted, she'd never had 'em,
So she took one for her and she took one for
Adam.
Snake, he came 'round that tree,
Said, "Wow, this fruit just can't be beat."
Mean ol' Lord come snoopin' 'round,
Spied those peelin' all over the ground.
"Adam, Eve, where are thou?"
"ere, my Lord, we're comin' now."
"Oh, my Lord, please let us stay,
Eve and I, we'll mend our ways."
The Lord said, "No" and kicked them out,
"Adam, you've been a bad Scout."
The moral of this story be,
Don't leave your peelings for the Lord to see.

Sunnyside
Say When
Stay on the sunny side.
Always on the sunny side.
Stay on the sunny side of life.
You'll feel no pain
As they drive you all insane
If you stay on the sunny side of life.
Say when will we ever meet again.
Say when, my friend, say when.
Say where and I'll meet you right there.
Say where, my friend, say where.
Say why do we have to say goodbye.
Say why, my friend, say why.
Say when, say where, say why.
Knock, knock...who's there?
Ether...ether who?
The Ether Bunny! [Easter with a
lisp.]
Another...'nother who?
Another Ether Bunny!
Still a...still a who?
Still another Ether Bunny!
Lots a...lots a who?
Lots of Ether Bunnies!
Cargo...cargo who?
Car go beep-beep and run over
all the Ether Bunnies!
Boo...boo who?
Don't cry, Ether Bunnies
be back next year!

When'ere You Make a
Promise
When'ere you make a promise,
Consider well its importance.
And when made, engrave it upon your
heart.
Green Trees
Green trees 'round you, blue skies above;
Friends all around you in a world filled with love.
Taps sounding softly, hearts beating true,
As campers sing goodnight to you.
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hill, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Rose, Rose
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose
Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire,
At thy will!
(extra verse)
Come on, say goodnight,
As the evening shadows fade into the night.
With each living, glowing ember
There are friendships to remember
As we sing one last goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight.

Flowers Are Red
A little boy on his first day of school got his crayons and he started to draw. He drew
colors all over the page because colors are what he saw. The teacher said, “What’cha
doing, young man?”
“I’m painting flowers,” he said.
“It’s not time for art, young man, and, anyway, flowers are green and red. There’s a time
for everything, young man, and a way it should be done. You’ve got to show concern for
everyone else, for you’re not the only one.
And she said, “Flowers are red and green leaves are green. There is no need to see
flowers any other way than they have ever been seen.”
But the little boy said, “There are so many colors in a rainbow.
There are so many colors in the morning sun. So many
colors in a flower, and I see every one.”
The teacher said, “You’re sassy! There are ways things should be. And you’ll paint the
flowers the way they are, so repeat after me.”
And she said, “Flowers are red and green leaves are green. There is no need to see
But the little boy said, “There are so many colors in a
rainbow. There are so many colors in the morning sun. so
many colors in a flower, and I see every one.”
The teacher put him in the corner. She said, “It’s for your own good and you won’t come
out ‘til you get it right and respond like you should.”
Well, finally, he got lonely. Frightened thoughts filled his head. And that boy went to his
teacher and this is what he said.
“Flowers are red and green leaves are green. There is no need to see
Well, time went by like it always does and he moved to another town. And that little boy
went to another school, and this is what he found. The teacher there was smiling. She
said, “Painting should be fun! And there are so many colors in a flower, so let’s use
every one!”
Camp Davidson Song
Camping is a time to explore new things and places
Make a friend or two, share a smile with happy faces.
Watch the stars above, see them shine in empty spaces.
Here at Camp Davidson.
Hike a trail and see everything on hill and under.
Listen to the sounds, learn about all nature's wonders.
See the clouds above, with the lightning and the thunder
Here at Camp Davidson.
Gather 'round a ring, sing a song for "Campfire's Burning"
Wish upon a star, dream about all life and learning.
Wave goodbye and go, thinking of next year returning.
Here to Camp Davidson.
Whispering Oaks is built on the site of the old Camp Davidson. The words
"Whispering Oaks" can be substituted for Camp Davidson if you wish.
Ezekial
Ezekial saw two wheels a rollin',
Way in the middle of the air.
A wheel within a wheel a rollin',
The first wheel ran by faith,
The other ran by the grace of God.
A wheel within a wheel a rollin',
But the little boy painted flowers in neat rows of green and red. And when the teacher
asked him why, this is what he said.
“Flowers are red and green leaves are green. There is no need
to see flowers any other way than they have ever been seen.”
