Amazing grace has set me free To touch, to taste, to feel The wonders of accepting love Have made me whole and real AMERICA 1 .

THE ASH GROVE Down yonder, green valley, where stream lets meander When twilight is fading I pensively roam. Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of The Lovely Ash Grove. Tis there where the blackbird is cheerfully singing Each warble enchants with his notes from the trees. Oh! then little think I of sorrows or sadness The Ash Grove enchanting spells beauty for me. AULD LANG SYNE
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, in days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne We'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne And here's a hand, my trusty friend, and give's a hand of thine We'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne THE ASH GROVE
The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking The harp thro' it playing has language for me Whenever the light through its branches is breaking A host of kind faces is gazing on me The friends of my childhood again are before me Each step wakes a mem'ry as freely I roam With soft whispers laden its leaves rustle o'er me The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading, I pensively rove Or at the bright moontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove 'Tis there where the blackbird is cheerfully singing Each warbler enchants with his notes from a tree Ah then little think I of sorrow or sadness The ash grove entrancing spells beauty for me My laughter is over, my step loses lightness Old countryside measures steal soft on my ears I only remember the past and its brightness The dear ones I mourn for again gather here From out of the shadows their loving looks greet me And wistfully searching the leafy green dome I find other faces fond bending to greet me The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home AUNT RHODY
Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, Go tell Aunt Rhody, the old grey goose is dead! The one she's been saving, the one she's been saving, The one she's been saving to make a feather bed!

Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, Go tell Aunt Rhody, the old grey goose is dead! The goslings are mourning, the goslings are mourning, The goslings are mourning because their mother's dead! Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody, Go tell Aunt Rhody, the old grey goose is dead! The old gander's weeping, the old gander's weeping, The old gander's weeping because his mate is dead! AVALON

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 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? Away from my window on into the night I will watch til they are out of sight Taking their cargo far across the sea I wish that someday they'd take me How my heart longs to sail away with you As you sail across the ocean blue But I must stay beside my ocean clear As I watch you sail away from here 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 BARGES (CAMP VERSION) Out of my tent flap looking in the night. I can see the leaders having a fight. Silently go the pillows through the air. As the feathers they fly everywhere.

[tune: Sippin' Cider) The other day, I saw a bear Out in the woods, away out there. He looked at me I Iooked at him. He sized me up I sized up him. He said to me, "Why don't you run? I see you ain't, got any gun." .
I said to him "That's a good idea." Come on now feet Iet's up and flee. And so I ran, away from there, But right behind, me came that bear. And then I saw ahead of me A great big tree Oh mercy me! The Iowest branch, was ten feet up. I’ll have to jump, and trust my luck. And so I jumped into the air, But I missed that branch away up there. Now don't you fret, and don't you frown, I caught that branch, on the way back down. That's all there is, there ain't no more Unless I see that bear once more. THE BEAR WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! BEAVER ONE, BEAVER ALL (CHANT) Beaver Teeth: the first two fingers of each hand rather like 'quotes in the air', while making the 'beaver sound' - a kind of click with tongue/teeth - like calling a cat (!) but that's the best way to explain it - similar to 'tut, tut' sound that you make to reprimand someone... to the rhythm 'sssl' (s=short l=long) like 'a ram sam sam' rhythm
Beaver one, beaver all, let's all do the beaver call! Beaver teeth left then right twice. Beaver two, beaver three, let's all climb the beaver tree! Beaver teeth climbing up in the air.

They heard the breeze in the trees Singing weird melodies And they made that The start of the Blues And from a jail came the wail Of a downhearted frail And they played that As part of the Blues From a whippoorwill out on a hill They took a new note Pushed it through a horn 'Til it was worn Into a blue note And then they nursed it Rehearsed it And gave out the news That the southland gave birth to the Blues BLACK BEAR [tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic) As one black bear backed up the bank, The other black bear backed down. CHORUS: Glory, glory how peculiar [repeat three times after each verse] As one pink porpoise popped up the pole, The other pink porpoise popped down. As one slick snake slid up the slide,
The other slick snake slid down. As one flick fly flew up the flu, The other flick fly flew down. BLACKCROW'S SPIRIT

He jumped on the poop, and cried, "Main topsail haul!" BLUE SKIES

Protect me O Lord for my boat is so small Protect me O Lord for my boat is so small My boat is so small and your sea is so wide Protect me O Lord BRINGING MARY HOME
I was driving down a lonely road a dark and stormy night When a little girl by the roadside showed up in my headlights I stopped and she got in the back and in a shakey tone She said my name is Mary please won't you take me home? She must have been so frightened all alone there in the night There was something strange about her cause her face was deathly white She sat so pale and quiet in the back seat all alone I never will forget the night I took Mary home I pulled into the driveway where she told me to go Got out to help her from the car and opened up the door But I just could not believe my eyes the back seat it was bare I looked all around the car but Mary wasn't there A light shone from the porch someone opened the door As I walked toward the house I wondered more and more What happened to the little girl so frightened and forlorn Could I have just been dreaming bringing Mary home? I walked up to the lady who was standing in the door And asked about the little girl that I was looking for She gently smiled and with her hand she brushed a tear away And said it sure was nice of you to go out of your way But thirteen years ago today in a wreck just down the road Our darling Mary lost her life and we still miss her so Thank you for your troubles and the kindness you have shown You're the thirteenth one who's been here bringing Mary home

But the thing that they told us, Would have grossed out a moose, For that good tasting pink drink, Was really bug juice. It looked fresh and fruity, Like tasty Kool-Aid, But the bugs that were in it, were murdered with Raid. We drank by the gallons, We drank by the ton, But then the next morning, We all had the runs. Next time you drink bug juice, And a fly drives you mad, He's just getting even, Because you swallowed his dad.

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 disc 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.

I'm campin' in the rain, just campin' in the rain. The tent and campfire are soggy again. The clouds in the sky are making me cry. My waterlogged shoes may never get dry. All the mud in the place is stuck on my face. The frogs and the turtles are starting to race. Oh, what should I do? I need a canoe. A webbed--footed weasel swam off with my shoe.
I'm campin' in the rain; just campin' in the rain. The good doctor said I've got water on the brain. I can't light the fire. I'm stuck in the mire. The lightning just knocked down the telephone wire. I'm drownin' in the rain; just drownin' in the rain. Won't it please stop raining --- I hate to complain. My sleeping bag's wet. I'm starting to fret. My life jacket wasn't the thing to forget. I'm campin' in the rain; just campin' in the rain. What a glorious feeling! Someone just plugged the drain. The pre--cip--i--tate will now dis--a--pate. The sun soon will dry up the puddle I hate. No more campin' in the rain. CAMPTOWN RACES

CLEMENTINE
In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine Lived a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine Oh my darling, Oh my darling Oh my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever dreadful sorry, Clementine Light she was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine Alas for me! I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine In a churchyard near the canyon, where the myrtle doth entwine There grow roses and other posies, fertilised by Clementine Then the miner, forty-niner, soon began to peak and pine Thought he oughter join his daughter, now he's with his Clementine In my dreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments soaked in brine While in life I used to hug her, now she's dead I draw the line How I missed her, how I missed her, how I missed my Clementine Until I kissed her little sister, and forgot my Clementine Now ye Scouts all heed the warning to this tragic tale of mine

Ah those old northern lights, they have seen clear sights But the clearest sights that they did ever see It was on a moonlit mars of that old Lake Lavard On the night that I cremated Sam McGee Now my pal Sam McGee was from ol' Tennersee In the land where the cotton blooms grow But why Sam left his home in the deep deep south ta roam Round the cold way up north God only knows In the long search for gold he was always so cold
How he longed again to roam the southern plain I would love to see him wade, how he feared the icy glade When I die he said cremate my last remains Well a fellows last need is a thing we have to heed So I promised and I swore I would not fail And again we started on at the first streaks o dawn But o God he was looki.n' ghastly pale He crouched on the sleigh and he raved away all day About the warmth from his home in Tennersee And before the night did fall, I'd a promise to recall Cause that was all that's left of Sam McGee And I came upon the mars of that old Lake Lavard Where a broken down derelic did lay She was jammed there in a vice of twenty feet of frozen ice Was abandoned and left there to decay Some planks I quickly tore from it's old cabin floor And I gathered up the chunks of scattered boards Soon the blaze was burnin' red, seem'd that ol' McGee was dead So I stuffed him in that ol' crematin' hole There sat my buddy Sam lookin' mighty cool and calm In the heart of those furnace flames galore And he wore a great big smile you could almost see a mile As he chuckled hurry up an' close the door She's a fine place in here but I greatly fear You may let in that awful cold and storm For since I left Palm Tree down in good ol' Tennersee She's the first time that I've been better warm Ah those old northern lights, they have seen clear sights But the clearest sights that they did ever see It was on a moonlit mars of that old Lake Lavard On the night that I cremated Sam McGee On the night that I cremated Sam McGee CROW LITTLE BROWN I E Crow Iittle Brownie, Stronger Sleep Iittle Brownie, Longer, Longer Eat fresh vegetables every day That is always the wisest way.

Friendship is a loving thing, it adds to life a glow, The feeling that a little fawn has for the doe; Comfort in the time of need, the moon shining on the hill, And, oh what a happy little child, bringing home a daffo-dil. Friendship is a happy thought, a warmness in your heart, Friends are those who understand, & friends will never part; For two people very much in love, in a life that's never still, And, oh, what a happy little child, bringing home a daffo-dil.

The toilets that they have here are the best that they can get Last night my tent mate had to go, they haven't found her yet. Oh, I don't want to go to Girl Scout Camp. Gee, Mom, I want to go, but they won't let me go. Gee, Mom, I want to go home. THE GHOST OF ANNE BOLELYN
Now in the Tower of London, large as life (large as life) The ghost of Anne Bolelyn walks, I declare (I declare) Now, Anne Bolelyn was once King Henry's wife (Henry's wife) Until he had the axman bob her hair (bob her hair) It happened many long years ago (long years ago) But she still comes back at night to tell him so (tell him so) With her head tucked underneath her arm, she walks the bloody tower With her head tucked underneath her arm, at the midnight hour Oh, once in a while King Henry gives a spread (gives a spread) For all his pals and gals, a ghostly crew (ghostly crew) The axman carves the meat and cuts the bread (cuts the bread) And in walks Anne Bolelyn to spoil the stew (spoil the stew) She holds her head up high with a wild wa-whoop [blood curdling scream] King Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!" (in the soup) Along the drafty corridors for miles and miles she goes She often catches cold, poor thing, it's drafty when it blows And it's awfully awkward when she has to blow her nose With her head tucked underneath her arm Suggested presentation: Make paper mache 'head' or draw a face on an ordinary balloon. The song leader uses this to act out the words as the audience sings along GIDDY-UP-GO (ANSWER) There's a time to laugh and a time to cry A time to forgive and a time to forget Dreams we dream sometimes never die We carry them on till they become someone else's dream A friend of mine had such a dream I met her at a truck stop just outside Phoenix We both worked there Her dream came true, I know it The key to her dream was a little sign that reads Giddy-up-go She's a lovely girl, pretty smile But behind all this I could see a troubled mind She told me o' when she met the guy that won her heart And made her life a joy And before too long more happiness came, a little baby boy Things wasn't to bad The job wasn't much
But somehow they got by And then came the day when he drove home a big truck And the little boy became so overjoyed Just like when he saw his first falling snow He kept shoutin' Giddy-up-go Daddy, Giddy-up-go Then a dark cloud moved in A few years later Not long, after a few visits to the doctor She said it was just a matter of time She knew she would have to move to a warmer climate And this troubled he mind So without leaving a trace She took her son, and left town one night! She settled here And we became the closest of friends We talked from time to time and she'd smile And her eyes would glow When she talked about Giddy-up-go Each time a truck would pull in I could see her stare, and stare Wasn't long before she had to give up being a waitress here And she moved on out of town. Not too far We visited almost every week The boy had almost grown He's the spittin' image of his dad, she'd say The most handsome man I've ever known Without cab once more, moved away As I stood close by, once again, she told her story I could see a tear in her eye I know my son longs for the road 'N the last request he had: Let him be a truck driver Like son, like dad The boy soon left town, I never knew for where But I find myself watching every truck that pulls around the curve And Giddy-up-go was the only name that held between the two And I was hopin' that I could be of help It became a dream for me too Just now I froze in my tracks, as I watched two trucks pull in A big new shiny diesel, and an old one Wow. I couldn't help starin' as they walked in Ordered coffee and talked a while Then I saw them leave, both wearin' such a smile They walked out to the old truck And brushed off some dirt So the name plate would show And before my eyes, a little sign that read

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself Though it weighed not a pennyweight more It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tock His life seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock It stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died In watching its pendulum swing to and fro Many hours had he spent as a boy And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know And to share both his grief and his joy For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door With a blooming and beautiful bride But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died My grandfather said that of those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he found For it wasted no time, and had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face And its hands never hung by its side But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died It rang in alarm in the dead of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb And we knew that his spirit was plumbing its flight That his hour of departure had come Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime As we silently stood by his side But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died THE GRAND OLD DUKE OF YORK
O, the grand old Duke of York He has ten thousand men He marched them up to the top of the hill (march) And he marched them down again (march) And when they were up they were up (stand up) And when they were down they were down (squat down) And when they were only half way up (hover half way) They were neither up nor down (stand up, squat down quickly) THE GRAND OLD CAPTAIN KIRK (THE GRAND OLD DUKE OF YORK) O, the grand old Captain Kirk He has five hundred men He beamed them up to the Enterprise And he beamed them down again And when they were up they were up (stand up) And when they were down they were down (squat down) And when they were only half way up (hover half way) They were nowhere to be found (stand up, squat down quickly) GRAND OLD FLAG You're a grand old flag You're a high-flying flag And forever in peace may you wave Your the emblem of the land I Iove The home of the free and the brave Every heart beats true Under red, white, and blue Where there's never a boast or a brag But should auId acquaintance be forgot Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

'Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty three On June the thirteenth day That our gallant ship her anchor weighed And for Greenland bore away, brave boys And for Greenland bore away The lookout in the crosstrees stood With a spyglass in his hand "There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a whalefish" he cried And she blows at every span, brave boys And she blows at every span The captain stood on the quarter-deck And a fine little man was he "Overhaul! Overhaul! let your davit-tackles fall And launch your boats for the sea, brave boys And launch your boats for the sea" Now the boats were launched and the men aboard And the whale was full in view
Resolv-ed was each seaman bold To steer where the whalefish blew, brave boys To steer where the whalefish blew We struck the whale, and the line paid out But she gave such a flourish with her tail That the boat capsized and four men were lost And we never caught that whale, brave boys And we never caught that whale "To lose that whale" our captain said "It grieves my heart full sore But to lose four of our gallant sailor boys It grieves me ten times more, brave boys It grieves me ten times more" "The winter star doth now appear So, boys, we'll anchor weigh It's time to leave this cold country And homeward bear away, brave boys And homeward bear away" Oh, Greenland is a dreadful place A land that's never green Where there's ice and snow, and the whalefishes blow And the daylight's seldom seen, brave boys And the daylight's seldom seen GREENSLEEVES . Alas my love you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously For I have loved you oh so long DeIighting in your company (CHORUS:) GreensIeeves was all my joy And oh GreensIeeves was my delight GreensIeeves, my heart of gold And all for my lady GreensIeeves. Ah GreensIeeves now farewell adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee For I am still thy sweetheart true Come once again to meet me. CHORUS GREEN TREES AROUND YOU

Daisy "I've something in my pocket..." That's what the big girls say. I'll have a pocket of my own, When I wear brown someday. My life is bright and easy, I smile most of the day. I'm having lots of fun now, I sing and laugh and play! Brownie I've something in my pocket That belongs across my face. I keep it very close at hand In a most convenient place. I bet you'll never guess it If you guess a long, long while I'll put it on and show you, It's my great big Brownie Smile. Junior "I've something in my pocket..." That's what I used to say. I spent my time so aimlessly, At home, at school, at play. Now every day is special, I'm searching, who am I? Only I can find that out Please let me have a try! Cadette "I've something in my pocket..." That's what I used to say. Playing childhood games with friends, Seems just like yesterday. I'm becoming a young woman, Soon I'll be a child no more, There's lots of opportunity, And so much to explore.
Senior "I've something in my pocket..." That's what I used to say. Then Mother Nature waved her hand And childhood flew away. Today my needs are different, I wonder, 'What will be?' I'm making life decisions now, The choice is up to me. Leaders I have something in my pocket, That's what we always said, But now we are the leaders, Teaching them instead We teach them when they're young, We guide them when they're old We watch them grow up strong and tall And that is our reward THE GYPSY ROVER
The Gypsy rover went over the hill Down to the valley so shady He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang For he won the heart of a lady Ha di do, ah dido da day, ah di do, ah di day-ee He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang For he won the heart of a lady. She left her father's castle gate She left her own true lover She left her servants and her estate To follow the Gypsy rover Her father saddled his fastest steed He searched the valley all over He sought his daughter at great speed And the whistling Gypsy rover He came at last to a mansion fine Down by the river Claydee And there was music and there was wine For the Gypsy and his lady "He is no Gypsy, my father," said she "But a lord of freelands all over And I will stay to my dying day
With my whistling Gypsy rover HAIL, HAIL, THE GANG'S ALL HERE

HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN TONIGHT
Late last night when we were all in bed, Mrs. O'Leary left her lantern in the shed. Well, the cow kicked it over, and this is what they said: "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!" When you hear those bells go ding-a-ling, All join 'round and sweetly you must sing. And when the verse is through, in the chorus all join in: "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!" (For dramatic effect, shout out "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE" at the end of the first verse) HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN TONIGHT (Silly variant) Ten nights dark when bed we all were in Old Leary lady hung the shed her lantern in And when the kick cowed it over, she eyed her wink and said "There'll be town hot in the time old tonight!"

I do hope that doggie's for sale 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 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 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 HO YOUNG RIDER
(round) Ho, young rider, apple-cheeked one, Whither riding? On your steed so black and prancing, wither riding? What matters where I ride? Slovak mountains are my pride, Dusha moya, dusha moya. Hey! Ho, young rider, apple-cheeked one, whither roaming? On your steed so black and prancing, wither roaming? What matters where I roam? Slovak mountains are my home, Dusha moya, dusha moya. Hey! HUMAN TOUCH It’s the human touch in this world that counts The touch of your hand in mine That means more to the fainting heart Than shelter, bread, and wine The shelter's gone when the night is o'er And bread lasts only a day The touch of your hand and the sound of your voice
Live on in my soul always May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine upon your face The rain fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again someday May God hold you in the palm of his hand May the memories that we have shared Linger on and on.

IF I HAD WINGS If I had wings, no one WouId ask me, should I fly. The bird sings, no one asks why. I can see in myself wings as I feel them. If you see something else keep your thoughts to yourself'. I’ll fly free then. How can you ask if l'm happy going my way? You might as well ask a child at play. There's no need to discuss or understand me. I won't ask of myself to be someone else; I’ll just be me. . Yesterday's eyes see their colors fading away; They see their sun turning to gray. You can't share in a dream that you don't believe in. If you say that you see and pretend to be me; You won't be then. If I had wings...[repeat verse I ] I DON'T KNOW WHY

Pitter patter raindrops, pitter patter raindrops I'm wet through, I'm wet through 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, OnIy of things of beauty to the eye; Snow-capped mountains towering to the sky. Now I know that God made this pIace for me. One can imagine herself as in a dream, Climbing a mountain or down a small ravine. The magic of this peace and quiet ever shall stay . To make this place a haven each and every day. Oh,. how I wish I'd never have to leave And all my life such beauty to receive. Now I know that God made this world for me. I'LL SING YOU JAM O

In Dublin's fair city Where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheeled her wheelbarrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying "Cockles and mussels,alive, alive-o" Alive alive-o Alive alive-o Crying "Cockles and mussels Alive, alive-o" She was a fishmonger And sure 'twas no wonder For so were her father and mother before They each wheeled their barrow Throught streets broad and narrow Crying "Cockles and mussels,alive, alive-o" She died of a fever And no-one could save her And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone But her ghost wheels her barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o" I NEVER PICKED COTTON
I never picked cotton But my mother did, and my brother did, and my sister did And my daddy die young workin' in a coal mine. When I was just a baby too little for the cotton track I played in the dirt while the others worked And they couldn't straighten up their back And I made myself a promise when I was big enough to run That I'd never stay a single day in that Oklahoma sun And ... Folks said that I grew up early, and that the farm couldn't hold me then So I stole ten bucks and a pick up truck and I never went back again
Then it was fast cars and whiskey, long haired girls and fun I had ev'rything that money could bring and I took it all with a gun And ... It was Saturday night in Memphis when a redneck grabbed my shirt And he said go back to your cotton sack, I left him dyin' in the dirt And they'll take me in the mornin' to the gallows just outside And in the time I've got there ain't an awful lot that I can look back on with pride And ... IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE
Oh come and go with me (allelujah) To my father's house (allelujah) To my father's house (allelujah) To my father's house Oh come and go with me (allelujah) To my father's house Where there's peace (forever) peace (forever peace) There's sweet communion there ... There'll be no parting there ... IN THE EVENING BY THE MOONLIGHT

Glory, glory, hallelujah, You don't feel itchy, Aunty, do ya? Glory, glory, hallelujaih, The bugs marched down the aisle. The little honeymooners Were nice and cozy in her bloomers, And the guests all took their places In Aunt Lucy's pillowcases. The little beasts had such a feast, They danced and flew and soared, All while Aunt Lucy snored. IT HURTS TO BE IN LOVE
I hurts to be in love when the only one you love Turns out to be someone who's not in love with you It hurts to love her so when deep down inside you know She will never want you, no matter what you do. And so you cry a little bit (to be in love) Oh I cry a little bit (to be in love) Day and night, night and day, It hurts to be in love this way How long can I exist, wanting things I never get?
She gives all her kisses to everybody else She thinks I'm just a friend Though it hurts, I must pretend The only way to keep her is to keep it to myself And so I cry a little bit (to be in love) Day and night, night and day, It hurts to be in love this way And so I cry a little bit (to be in love) Oh I die a little bit (to be in love) Day and night, night and day, It hurts to be in love this way It hurts to be in love Day and night, night and day It hurts to be in love night and day, day and night It hurts to be in love IT'S A GOOD TIME TO GET ACQUAINTED (Tipperary) It's a good time to get acquainted It's a good time to know Who is sitting close beside you And to smile and say "Hello" Goodbye, chilly feeling Goodbye, glassy stare If we all join hands and pull together We're sure to get there IT'S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY

You sigh, the song begins You speak and I hear violins, It's magic The stars desert the skies And rush to nestle in your eyes, It's magic Without a golden wand or mystic charms Fantastic things begin When I am in your arms When we walk hand in hand The world becomes a wonderland, It's magic How else can I explain those rainbows
When there is no rain, It's magic Why do I tell myself These things that happen are all really true? When in my heart I know, The magic is my love for you IT WAS FRIDAY NIGHT WHEN WE SET SAIL (The Mermaid) It was Friday night when we set sail And we were not far from the land When the captain spied a lovely mermaid With a comb and a brush in her hand, her hand, her hand With a comb and a brush in her hand Oh! the ocean waves may roll, may roll And the stormy winds may blow, may blow-o But we poor sailors go skipping to the tops While the land-lubbers lie down below, below, below While the land-lubbers lie down below Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship And a fine old man was he Saying, "This fishy mermaid has warned us of our doom We shall sink to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea We shall sink to the bottom of the sea!" Then up spoke the mate of our gallant ship And a well spoken man was he "I've married a wife in Salem Town And tonight she a widow will be, will be, will be And tonight she a widow will be" Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship And a RED HOT cook was he "I care much more for my kettles and my pots Than I do for the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea Than I do for the bottom of the sea Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship And a scurvy little rascal was he "I've nary a soul in Salem Town Who will care what happened to me, to me, to me Who will care what happened to me (Slowly) Then three times round, went our gallant ship Then three times round went she Then three times round, went our gallant ship And she sank to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea And she sank to the bottom of the sea IT WAS LOVE
Alone at the corner table, he was watching me watching her I was singing about an old flame burning, he was hanging on every word
I was pouring out my feelings, he was pouring out the wine Through the smoke and the beer it was perfectly clear That we were judging each others mind It was love ten feet away Imagine her in my arms with that look in her face Flyin' somewhere in some shadowy place It was love, just ten feet away. I just knew my closing song would do it, I knew that I was heaven bound I could tell she was moved, but before I was through me This stranger walked up and sat down He was trying his best to impress her, but she never took her eyes off When he got up and left, I said to myself; Woe a o what a night this will be I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD
I've been working on the railroad All the live long day I've been working on the railroad Just to pass the time away Can't you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn Don't you hear the captain shouting "Dinah, blow your horn" Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow Dinah, won't you blow your horn? Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow Dinah, won't you blow your horn? Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah Someone's in the kitchen I know Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah Strumming on the old banjo, and singing "Fee-fi, fiddle-e-i-o, Fee-fi-fiddle-e-i-o Fee-fi-fiddle-e-i-o," strumming on the old banjo I-VEE (My Bonnie) My body has calomine lotion My body's as sore as can be The flowers I gathered for Granny Turned out to be poison I-Vee Don't touch, don't touch You'll get a rash from I-Veee It will, itch bad And it looks worse than ac-nee I'VE GOT SIXPENCE

Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect And whistle a happy tune, so no one will suspect I'm afraid While shivering in my shoes, I strike a careless pose And whistle a happy tune, and no one ever knows I'm afraid The result of this deception is very strange to tell For when I fool the people I fear, I fool myself as well! I whistle a happy tune and every single time The happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid

Here I stand, all a-lone upon a hill so high Gazing at the sky as clouds drift by, And I hear a melo-dy from my heart. Leaves sing too, echo-ing my lovely melo-dy, Of my longing to be free to roam, In the sunlight of to-day and al-ways. Where I choose, in the heather by the restless sea, This is the magic song my heart sets free. I'm in love with the world, I'm in love with the world. Rain may fall, all around me and the sky shows gray, Come again, my melody to say, I can see the rainbow smiling at me. Bright hues there, splendor painted on an arch of blue, And the morning sun beats through to say, Follow me to find the trea-sures of life. All the way, yet an-other path an-other day,
Filled with promise and my magic song, in love with the world, I'm in love with the world, I'm in love with the world. MAIRZY DOATS

Make new friends, but keep the old: Those are silver, these are gold New-made friendships, like new wine Age will mellow and refine Friendships that have stood the test Time and change - are surely best: Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendship never knows decay. For 'mid old friends, tried and true Once more we our youth renew. But old friends, alas may die. New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast New is good, but old is best; Make new friends, but keep the old: Those are silver, these are gold. MAKE NEW FRIENDS IN OTHER LANGUAGES
Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver and the other gold. A circle's round, it has no end, That's how long I want to be your friend.

Un cercle est ronde, il n'a pas de fin, Voici combien de temps je veux etre ton ami. (And a version in Spanish) Amistad es lo que nos une (Friendship is that which unites us) E lo que nos hace progresar (And that which makes us grow) MARIANNE

Long thin slimy ones, Short fat juicy ones, Itsy bitsy fuzzy fuzzy worms NO BOOTS AT ALL
Way down in the land of the Antipodes Where the lights of the camp-fires shine bright on the trees Bushmen will tell you as night shadows fall There's a ghost roams the ranges with no boots at all No boots, no boots at all Roaming the ranges with no boots at all! Way down in the city so sinful and bad There lived a young fellow, a promising lad He wanted to be a big bold mountaineer But his mother replied as she tossed down her beer Our hero, he murmured "Regardless press on" When she woke in the morning, she found he was gone And off to the hills went her agonised shout "You've got no boots at all if you want to bail out!"
He found a big mountain and climbed to the top And stood on the edge of that horrible drop He thought of his mother all over again He could still hear her shouting that mournful refrain The god of the mountain looked down from his throne And saw the young climber astanding alone He said to his angel "Go down with a swoosh And give that young fellow a helluva push" The Angel of Destiny swept through the pass And planted a foot fair and square on his pants As over and over and over fell he The angels were singing this sweet melody St Peter, he stood at the heavenly gate Checking in drunks coming early and late The Orderly Angel just dropped in to say "There's a dirty big climber a-coming this way" St Peter came down with a bucket of beer Saying, "Sorry, young fellow, you can't come in here With thousands of angels to answer your call You'd be no good in heaven with no boots at all" The night it was stormy, the hour it was late When our hero arrived at the Satanic Gate The little black devils, they spat in his face To show you, they said, it's a helluva place! The devil said "Sorry, I can't let you in Unless you've been leading a lifetime of sin But how could you wallow, and how could you fall? You can't be a sinner with no boots at all!" Now all you young fellows who some day may roam Be careful to stay with your mother at home With no one to love him or answer his call His ghost roams the ranges with no boots at all It's Sunday night and it's half past nine We're leavin' one more town behind The mirrors are showing the day's last glow As we spin out into the jigsaw flow of life Up ahead where there should be the thickness of night Stars are pinned on a shimmering curtain of light The sky's full of rippling cliffs and chasms That shine like a sign on the road to heaven I've been cut by the beauty of jagged mountains And cut by the love that flows like a fountain from God So I carry these scars precious and rare And tonight I feel like I'm made of air NOMA

ODE TO A GIRL SCOUT LEADER (Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic) I was glad to have a girl, because our first child was a son I thought of all the ruffles, all the frilly bows and fun. I thought of how we'd sit and talk at night when day was done Wasn't I the foolish one? She was only half past seven when they called me to the fore, I said, I'm not equipped, They said, Oh yes you are! What's more, We will train you in the basic, we’ll outfit you for the core And they shoved me out the door. Glory, Glory, I'm A leader How'd I get to be a leader? . AII I did was have a daughter Is this the price I . pay? They taught me to be thrifty, to be thoughtful to be true They. taught me how to string the beads Iike noble Indians do I had to learn to dig a trench, and how to use it to
And they say that Scouting's grand! Glory, Glory, I'm a leader Me- They had to make a leader I can't even build a fire Let alone put up a tent We went walking in the woodland, My Girl Scout troop and me The handbook says that nature has a wealth of sights to see It's true- We sure were sights when we were found eventuallyAnd I do all this for free I'm not meant to be a leader, I don’t know which bird is which My wiener forks all burn up, we come home from hikes and itch The sit-upons all felt apart, I showed them the wrong stitch. But no one wants to switch! Glory. Glory, I'm a leader HaIIeIujah, I'm a leader TeII me why I should be happy When no one envies me! But even though I grumble, and I mumble, and I shout Though there are days I wonder what's the best way to get out I guess when all is said and done, there isn't any doubt I'm glad to be a Scout Glory, Glory, I'm a leader Someone's got to be a leader They- can carve it on my tombstone Here's a gal who did her best.

A man was walking up and down To find a place where he could dine in town A man was walking up and down To find a place where he could dine He found himself a fancy place And entered in with simple grace And entered in with simple grace He took his purse his pocket hence But all he found was fifteen cents He scanned the menu through and through To see what fifteen cents would do The only thing 'twould to at all Was buy just one fish ball He call the waiter down the hall And softly whispered, "One fish ball" The waiter bellowed down the hall "This gentlemen here wants one fish ball!" The guests, they turned both one and all To see who'd ordered one fish ball The shaken man grew ill at ease But softly whispered, "Bread, sir, please The waiter bellowed down the hall "You get no bread with one fish ball!" The wretched man then went outside A-looking for a place to hide There is a moral to this all Don't ask for bread with one fish ball ONE MAN WENT TO MOW

Father we've something to tell you A story of our time The tragic but inspiring tale Of manhood in its prime You know you had a dozen sons Well now that's not quite true But feel no sorrow, do not grieve
He would not want you to There's one more angel in heaven There's one more star in the sky Joseph we'll never forget you It's tough but we're gonna get by There's one less place at our table There's one more tear in our eye Joseph the things that you stood for Like truth and life never die When I think of his last great battle A lump comes to my throat It takes a man who knows not fear To wrestle, with... a goat! Carve his name with pride and courage Let no tear be shed If he had not laid down his life We all would now be dead Joseph died as he wished to He answered duty's call He single-handed fought the beast That would have slain us all His bloodstained coat's a tribute to His final sacrifice His body may not be with us But his soul's in paradise THE ONE ON THE RIGHT WAS ON THE LEFT
There once was a musical troupe, a pickin' swingin' folks group They sang the mountain ballads, and the folks songs of our land They've a lot of musical ability, folks thought they would go far But political incompatibility led to their downfall Well the one on the right was on the left And the one in the middle was on the right And the one on the left was in the middle And the guy in the rear was a Methodist This musical acregation toured the entire nation Singing traditional ballads and folks songs of our land They performed with great virtuosity and soon they were to rate But political animosity prevailed upon the stage Well the one on the right was on the left And the one in the middle was on the right And the one on the left was in the middle And the guy in the rear burned his driver's licence At a certain harvest rendered, a hush fell on the crowd As thousands there were gathered to hear the folks sing of out land But they took their politics seriously
And that night at the concert hall As the audience watched dilleriously, they had a free for all Well the one on the right was on the bottom And the one in the middle was on the top And the one on the left had a broken arm And the guy in the rear said; Oh dear! Now this should be a lesson. If you plan to start a folks group Don't go mixin' politics with the folks of our land Just work on harmony and diction, play your banjo well And if you have political convictions, keep 'em to yourself Now the one on the left works in a bank And the one in the middle drives a truck And the one on the right's an all night D.J And the guy in the rear got drafted ONE TIN SOLDIER Listen children to a story that was written long ago Of a kingdom on a mountain and the valley far below. On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a 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. Justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowin' 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 treasureOn the mountain dark and red Turned the stone and looked beneath it: "PEACE ON EARTH" was all it said. CHORUS ONE WIDE RIVER TO CROSS Old Noah built himself an ark, There's one wide river to cross! He built it out of hickory bark,There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN: There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan, There's one wide river, There's one wide river to cross. The animals went in one by one, There's one wide river to cross! The elephant, who weighed a ton, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN The animals went in two by two, There's one wide river to cross! The donkey and the kangaroo, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN
The animals went in three by three, There's one wide river to cross! The hippo and a mouse and flea, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN The animals went in four by four, There's one wide river to cross! You should have heard the lions roar, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN The animals went in five by five, There's one wide river to cross! The bumblebee, he brought his hive, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN When Noah found he had no sail, There's one wide river to cross! He made one from his old coat tail, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN
And as they talked of this and that, There's one wide river to cross! The ark it bumped on Arrarat, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN ON ILKLEY MOOR BAR T'AT

There's a duty to be done and I say aye. There's a reason here for a reason above. My honor is to try and my duty is love. 1. People don't need to know my name.

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 watched the sunrise turn the sky completely red? Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine grove for your bed? Do you sit and talk with friends, though a word is never said? Then you're just Iike me and you've been on the loose. CHORUS
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. So in following my dreams, I will live and I will grow On the trail that's out there 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 plans. So in time, when you are ready, come and join me, take my hand, And together we'll share life out on the loose. CHORUS ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN (On Top of Old Smokey) On top of a mountain All covered in grass There sat a bald eagle Scratching his... Aaaaah Don't be mistaken And don't be misled There sat a bald eagle Scratching his head! ON TOP OF OLD SMOKY
On top of old Smoky, all covered with snow I lost my true lover from courting too slow Now, courting is pleasure and parting is grief And a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief For a thief will just rob you and take what you have But a false-hearted lover will lead you to the grave And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust; Not one boy in a hundred a poor girl can trust They'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies Than cross ties on a railroad or stars in the skies So, come all you young maidens and listen to me Never place your affection on a green willow tree For the leaves they will whither, and the roots they will die You'll all be forsaken and never know why ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI (On Top of Old Smokey) (Actions: make appropriate finger and body actions for the words, and don't leave out a real, live sneeze) On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed It rolled off the table, and onto the floor And then my poor meatball, Rolled out of the door
It rolled in the garden, and under a bush And then my poor meatball, Was nothing but mush The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be And early next summer, It grew into a tree The tree was all covered with beautiful moss It grew lovely meatballs and tomato sauce So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese Hold on to your meatballs, and don't ever sneeze ON TOP OF MY PIZZA (On Top of Old Smokey) On top of my pizza All covered with sauce Could not find the mushrooms I think they got lost I looked in the closet I looked in the sink I looked in the cup that Held my cola drink I looked in the saucepan Right under the lid No matter where I looked Those mushrooms stayed hid Next time you make pizza I’m begging you, please Do not give me mushrooms But just plain old cheese OOM, PLUCKY, PLUCKY
She sat on a hillside and strummed her guitar strummed her guitar, strummed her guitar She sat on a hillside and strummed her guitar strummed her gui-ta-a-a-ar Oom, plucky, plucky, oom, plucky, plucky, oom, pluck, pluck, pluck, ZING! Oom, plucky, plucky, oom, plucky, plucky, oom, pluck, pluck, pluck, ZING! He sat down beside her and smoked his cigar He said that he loved her but, oh! How he lied They were to be married but somehow she died He went to her funeral but just for the ride He went to her grave site and laughed 'til he cried The grave stone fell over and squish-squash he died She went up to heaven and flittered and flied He went down below and sizzled and fried The moral of this song is: never tell lies THE ORCHESTRA

Where the cactus meets the mountains & the mountains touch the sky, And the sky’s the bluest blue that it can be. Where a million stars like diamonds smile on campfires burning low, And the moon’s so bright, with just its light, to guide you, you can see. CHORUS Well the road’s a little dusty and the trees a trifle few, But the beauty’s there in the fresh clear air, And the friendships that you knew. The freedom of the forest lets your soul breathe deep and long, And a part of me will always be here, Singing Scherman’s song. Where the pine trees smell like butterscotch, And the thunder greets the rain, You can feel the joy of living everyday. Where the peacefulness and solitude, In the memories that you share, Give you strength to face the time When it’s goodbye we’ll have to say …CHORUS SCOTLAND'S BURNING Scotland’s burning, Scotland’s burning Lookout, lookout Fire, fire, fire, fire Pour on water, pour on water SCOUT CAMP

Speed bonny boat, like a bird on the wing "Onward!" the sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to Skye Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar Thunder claps rend the air Baffled, our foes stand by the shore
Follow they will not dare Though the waves leap, soft Charlie sleep The ocean's a royal bed Rocked on the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your weary head Many's the lad fought on that day Well the claymore could wield When the night came silently lay Dead on Culloden's field Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar Thunder claps rend the air Baffled, our foes stand by the shore Follow they will not dare Burnt are our homes; exile and death Scatter our loyal men Yet ere the sword's cold in its sheath Charlie will come again S-M-I-L-E (John Brown's Body) It isn't any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E It isn't any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E There isn't any trouble but will vanish like a bubble If you'll only take the trouble just to S-M-I-L-E It isn't any trouble just to G-R-I-N, grin It isn't any trouble just to L-A-U-G-H SMOKEY MOUNTAIN RANGE

Oh the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say When the sun goes down, then the snakes will play
I watched that car pull right up into my driveway Saw a shadow slip away from my house So I hurried straight and looked in her room And I found out it was my loving spouse And I waited in the shadows until morning And the gun I held was trembling in my hand No I did not plan to give them any warning For the devil on my shoulder had command Oh the trail in a little while was over And they sentenced me to die right away But before I leave this courtroom, please your Honour There's something more I'd like to say . . .

As I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin' in the bay I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise I discovered a -, -,-right before my eyes! Oh, I discovered a -, -,-right before my eyes! I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king I took it to a guy I know who'd buy most anything But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop "Oh, get out of here with that -, -,-before I call a cop!" "Oh, get out of here with that -, -,-before I call a cop!" I turned around and got right out a-runnin' for my life And then I took it home with me to give it to my wife But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door "Oh get out of here with that -, -, -, and don't come back no more" "Oh get out of here with that -, -, -, and don't come back no more" I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet A hobo who was looking for a handout on the street He said he'd take most any old thing, he was a desperate man But when I showed him the -, -, -, he turned a-round and ran But when I showed him the -, -, -, he turned a-round and ran I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate Un-til one day I came upon Saint Peter at the gate And when I tried to take it inside he told me where to go "Get out of here with that -, -, -, and take it down be-low!" "Get out of here with that -, -, -, and take it down be-low!" The moral of this story is; if you're out on the beach And you should see a great big box, and it's within your reach Don't ever stop and open it up, that's my advice to you 'Cause you'll never get rid of the -, -,-no matter what you do! 'Cause you'll never get rid of the -, -,-no matter what you do! THIS IS MY COUNTRY This is my country. Land of my birth. This is my country, Grandest on Earth.

I've roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts, And all around me, a voice was sounding, This land was made for you and me. When the sun comes shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds roiling , As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting, This Land was made for you and me.

A long time ago when the earth was green There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen They'd run around free while the ark was being born But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn There were green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born The loveliest of all was the unicorn Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave him pain And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain" He says, "Hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do Build me a floating zoo" "Take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born Don't you forget my unicorn" Old Noah was there to answer the call He finished up making the ark just as the rain started fallin' He marched in the animals two by two And he called out as they went through "Hey Lord, I got You green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but I'm so forlorn I just can't see no unicorn" Then Noah looked out through the driving rain Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games Kicking and splashin' while the rain was pourin' Oh, them silly unicorns There were green alligators and long-necked geese some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain was pourin' And we just can't wait for no unicorn" The ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried And the waters came down and sort of floated them away That's why you never seen a unicorn to this very day You'll see some green alligators and long-necked geese some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants but as sure as you're born You're never gonna see no unicorn UP A LAZY RIVER

"Where's that jolly jumpbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found Was blind but now I see Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home When we've been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun We've no less days to sing God's Praise than when we first begun Amazing grace has set me free To touch, to taste, to feel The wonders of accepting love Have made me whole and real Animal Fair
I went to the animal fair The birds and the beasts were there The big baboon by the light of the moon Was combing his auburn hair The monkey fell out of his bunk, (clap) Slid down the elephant's trunk, weeeee The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees And what became of the monkey, monkey . . . .

Barges
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 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? Away from my window on into the night I will watch til they are out of sight Taking their cargo far across the sea I wish that someday they'd take me How my heart longs to sail away with you As you sail across the ocean blue But I must stay beside my ocean clear As I watch you sail away from here 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 Beautiful Dreamer
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beaver One, Beaver All (Chant) Beaver Teeth: the first two fingers of each hand rather like 'quotes in the air', while making the 'beaver sound' - a kind of click with tongue/teeth - like calling a cat (!) but that's the best way to explain it - similar to 'tut, tut' sound that you make to reprimand someone... to the rhythm 'sssl' (s=short l=long) like 'a ram sam sam' rhythm
Beaver one, beaver all, let's all do the beaver call! Beaver teeth left then right twice. Beaver two, beaver three, let's all climb the beaver tree! Beaver teeth climbing up in the air.

The bells of St. Mary's, I hear they are calling The young loves, the true loves, who come from the sea And so my beloved, when red leaves are falling The love bells shall ring out, ring out, for you and me Be Prepared (Tom Lehrer) Be prepared! That's the Boy Scout's marching song Be prepared! As through life you march along
Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell Be prepared!

Be prepared! That's the Boy Scouts' solemn creed Be prepared! And be clean in word and deed Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice Unless you get a good percentage of the price Be prepared! And be careful not to do Your good deeds when there's no one watching you If you're looking for adventure of a new and different kind And you come across a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared Be prepared!

They heard the breeze in the trees Singing weird melodies And they made that The start of the Blues And from a jail came the wail Of a downhearted frail And they played that As part of the Blues From a whippoorwill out on a hill They took a new note Pushed it through a horn 'Til it was worn Into a blue note And then they nursed it Rehearsed it And gave out the news That the southland gave birth to the Blues Blackcrow's Spirit

Her eyes they shine like the diamonds You'd think she was Queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band As I went walking on Broadway Not tending to stay very long I met with a quarrelsome damsel As she came tripping along And what she pulled out of her pocket And slipped right into my hand On the very first day that I met her Bad luck to her black velvet band Bless This House (Eidelweiss) Bless this house, bless this bread Come oh Lord and sit with us May our hearts grow with peace Come with your love and surround us Friendship and love may they bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever Bless our friends, bless us all Bless all [ . . . ] Scouts forever Blow the Man Down

Oh, a ship was all rigg'd and ready for sea And all of her sailors were fishes to be.
So, blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow We're bound for the south'ard, so steady she goes Oh, first came the herring, the kind of the sea He jumped on the poop, "I'll be captain," said he The next was a flat fish, they call him the skate: "If you be the captain, why, sure, I'm the mate" The next came the hake, as black as a rook Says he, "I'm no sailor, I'll ship as the cook" The next came the shark, with his two rows of teeth: "Cook mind the cabbage, and I'll mind the beef" And then came the codfish, with his chuckle head He jumped in the chains, began heaving the lead The next came the flounder, as flat as the ground: "Damn your eyes, chuckhead, mind how you sound" The next comes the mack'rel with his striped back He jumped to the waist for to board the main tack And then came the sprat, the smallest of all He jumped on the poop, and cried, "Main topsail haul!" Blue Skies
Blue skies smiling at me Nothing but blue skies do I see Bluebirds singing a song Nothing but blue skies all day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days, all of them gone Nothing but blue skies from now on Blue-tail Fly

The devil take that Blue-Tail fly The pony ran, he jumped, he pitched He threw my master in the ditch He died, the jury wondered why The verdict was the Blue-Tail fly They laid him under a 'Simon' tree His epitaph is there to see "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie A victim of the Blue-Tail fly" Boa-constrictor

Protect me O Lord for my boat is so small Protect me O Lord for my boat is so small My boat is so small and your sea is so wide Protect me O Lord Bringing Mary Home
I was driving down a lonely road a dark and stormy night When a little girl by the roadside showed up in my headlights I stopped and she got in the back and in a shakey tone She said my name is Mary please won't you take me home? She must have been so frightened all alone there in the night There was something strange about her cause her face was deathly white She sat so pale and quiet in the back seat all alone I never will forget the night I took Mary home
I pulled into the driveway where she told me to go Got out to help her from the car and opened up the door But I just could not believe my eyes the back seat it was bare I looked all around the car but Mary wasn't there A light shone from the porch someone opened the door As I walked toward the house I wondered more and more What happened to the little girl so frightened and forlorn Could I have just been dreaming bringing Mary home? I walked up to the lady who was standing in the door And asked about the little girl that I was looking for She gently smiled and with her hand she brushed a tear away And said it sure was nice of you to go out of your way But thirteen years ago today in a wreck just down the road Our darling Mary lost her life and we still miss her so Thank you for your troubles and the kindness you have shown You're the thirteenth one who's been here bringing Mary home Bunkum (My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean) Now Gavin inspected the Eagles And afterwards mentioned to me "Their campsite is utterly spotless" It sounded like bunkum to me Now Craig went to Boks for supper He said you make jolly good tea They said "It's not tea Craig it's soup Craig" It tasted like bunkum you see The Scouters are terribly hunky Their SWAT team is scary to see The women are flocking around them It all sounds like bunkum to me The PLs were sweating and slaving To dig a new lavatory The Scouts kept on filling the old ones They're all full of bunkum you see Bye Bye Blackbird
Pack up all my cares and woe Here I go, singing low Bye bye blackbird Where somebody waits for me Sugar's sweet, so is she Bye bye blackbird No one here can love and understand me Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me Make my bed and light the light I'll arrive late tonight Blackbird, bye bye

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine Lived a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine Oh my darling, Oh my darling Oh my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever dreadful sorry, Clementine Light she was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine Alas for me! I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine In a churchyard near the canyon, where the myrtle doth entwine There grow roses and other posies, fertilised by Clementine Then the miner, forty-niner, soon began to peak and pine Thought he oughter join his daughter, now he's with his Clementine In my dreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments soaked in brine While in life I used to hug her, now she's dead I draw the line How I missed her, how I missed her, how I missed my Clementine Until I kissed her little sister, and forgot my Clementine Now ye Scouts all heed the warning to this tragic tale of mine Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation would have saved my Clementine Coke-a-Cola

A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm A boy filled with wander lust who really meant no harm He changed his clothes and cleaned his boots and combed his dark brown hair His mother cried as he walked out: Don't take your guns to town, son Leave your guns at home, Bill
Don't take your guns to town He laughed and kissed his mom and said your Billy Joe's a man I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can But I wouldn't shoot without a cause, I'd gun nobody down But she cried again as he rode away He sang a song, as on he rode, his guns hung at his hips He rode into a cattle town, a smile upon his lips He stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down But his mothers words echoed again: He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand And tried to tell himself at last he had become a man A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down And he heard again his mother's words Bill was raged and Billy Joe reached for his guns to draw But the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw As Billy Joe fell to the floor, the crowd all gathered 'round And wondered at his final words Don't This Road Look Rough and Rocky

It's squishy and it's slimy and it wiggles in my hand I also have a wooly worm and a pocket full of sand Giddy-up-go (answer) There's a time to laugh and a time to cry A time to forgive and a time to forget Dreams we dream sometimes never die We carry them on till they become someone else's dream A friend of mine had such a dream I met her at a truck stop just outside Phoenix We both worked there Her dream came true, I know it The key to her dream was a little sign that reads Giddy-up-go She's a lovely girl, pretty smile But behind all this I could see a troubled mind She told me o' when she met the guy that won her heart And made her life a joy And before too long more happiness came, a little baby boy Things wasn't to bad The job wasn't much But somehow they got by And then came the day when he drove home a big truck And the little boy became so overjoyed Just like when he saw his first falling snow He kept shoutin' Giddy-up-go Daddy, Giddy-up-go Then a dark cloud moved in A few years later Not long, after a few visits to the doctor
She said it was just a matter of time She knew she would have to move to a warmer climate And this troubled he mind So without leaving a trace She took her son, and left town one night! She settled here And we became the closest of friends We talked from time to time and she'd smile And her eyes would glow When she talked about Giddy-up-go Each time a truck would pull in I could see her stare, and stare Wasn't long before she had to give up being a waitress here And she moved on out of town. Not too far We visited almost every week The boy had almost grown He's the spittin' image of his dad, she'd say The most handsome man I've ever known Without cab once more, moved away As I stood close by, once again, she told her story I could see a tear in her eye I know my son longs for the road 'N the last request he had: Let him be a truck driver Like son, like dad The boy soon left town, I never knew for where But I find myself watching every truck that pulls around the curve And Giddy-up-go was the only name that held between the two And I was hopin' that I could be of help It became a dream for me too Just now I froze in my tracks, as I watched two trucks pull in A big new shiny diesel, and an old one Wow. I couldn't help starin' as they walked in Ordered coffee and talked a while Then I saw them leave, both wearin' such a smile They walked out to the old truck And brushed off some dirt So the name plate would show And before my eyes, a little sign that read Giddy-up-go Ging Gang Goo

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tock His life seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock It stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died In watching its pendulum swing to and fro Many hours had he spent as a boy And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know And to share both his grief and his joy For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door With a blooming and beautiful bride But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died My grandfather said that of those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he found For it wasted no time, and had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face And its hands never hung by its side But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died It rang in alarm in the dead of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb And we knew that his spirit was plumbing its flight That his hour of departure had come Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime As we silently stood by his side But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died Green Grass (There was a Hole) There was a hole The prettiest little hole that you ever did see And the green grass grew all around, all around And the green grass grew all around And in that hole There was a tree The prettiest little tree that you ever did see And the tree was in the hole And the hole was in the ground Continue adding one line at a time....

'Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty three On June the thirteenth day That our gallant ship her anchor weighed And for Greenland bore away, brave boys And for Greenland bore away The lookout in the crosstrees stood With a spyglass in his hand "There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a whalefish" he cried And she blows at every span, brave boys And she blows at every span The captain stood on the quarter-deck And a fine little man was he "Overhaul! Overhaul! let your davit-tackles fall And launch your boats for the sea, brave boys
And launch your boats for the sea" Now the boats were launched and the men aboard And the whale was full in view Resolv-ed was each seaman bold To steer where the whalefish blew, brave boys To steer where the whalefish blew We struck the whale, and the line paid out But she gave such a flourish with her tail That the boat capsized and four men were lost And we never caught that whale, brave boys And we never caught that whale "To lose that whale" our captain said "It grieves my heart full sore But to lose four of our gallant sailor boys It grieves me ten times more, brave boys It grieves me ten times more" "The winter star doth now appear So, boys, we'll anchor weigh It's time to leave this cold country And homeward bear away, brave boys And homeward bear away" Oh, Greenland is a dreadful place A land that's never green Where there's ice and snow, and the whalefishes blow And the daylight's seldom seen, brave boys And the daylight's seldom seen Green Trees Around You

Late last night when we were all in bed, Mrs. O'Leary left her lantern in the shed. Well, the cow kicked it over, and this is what they said: "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!" When you hear those bells go ding-a-ling, All join 'round and sweetly you must sing. And when the verse is through, in the chorus all join in: "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!" (For dramatic effect, shout out "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE" at the end of the first verse) Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight - (Silly variant) Ten nights dark when bed we all were in Old Leary lady hung the shed her lantern in
And when the kick cowed it over, she eyed her wink and said "There'll be town hot in the time old tonight!"

In Dublin's fair city Where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheeled her wheelbarrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying "Cockles and mussels,alive, alive-o" Alive alive-o Alive alive-o Crying "Cockles and mussels Alive, alive-o" She was a fishmonger And sure 'twas no wonder For so were her father and mother before They each wheeled their barrow Throught streets broad and narrow Crying "Cockles and mussels,alive, alive-o" She died of a fever And no-one could save her And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone But her ghost wheels her barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o" I Never Picked Cotton
I never picked cotton But my mother did, and my brother did, and my sister did And my daddy die young workin' in a coal mine. When I was just a baby too little for the cotton track I played in the dirt while the others worked And they couldn't straighten up their back And I made myself a promise when I was big enough to run That I'd never stay a single day in that Oklahoma sun And ... Folks said that I grew up early, and that the farm couldn't hold me then So I stole ten bucks and a pick up truck and I never went back again Then it was fast cars and whiskey, long haired girls and fun I had ev'rything that money could bring and I took it all with a gun And ... It was Saturday night in Memphis when a redneck grabbed my shirt And he said go back to your cotton sack, I left him dyin' in the dirt And they'll take me in the mornin' to the gallows just outside And in the time I've got there ain't an awful lot that I can look back on with pride

Alone at the corner table, he was watching me watching her I was singing about an old flame burning, he was hanging on every word I was pouring out my feelings, he was pouring out the wine Through the smoke and the beer it was perfectly clear That we were judging each others mind It was love ten feet away Imagine her in my arms with that look in her face Flyin' somewhere in some shadowy place It was love, just ten feet away. I just knew my closing song would do it, I knew that I was heaven bound I could tell she was moved, but before I was through me This stranger walked up and sat down He was trying his best to impress her, but she never took her eyes off When he got up and left, I said to myself; Woe a o what a night this will be I've Been Working On The Railroad

There's a low green valley on the old Kentucky shore There I've whiled many happy hours away A-sitting and a-singing by the little cottage door Where lived my darling Nellie Grey Oh my poor Nellie Grey They have taken you away And I'll never see my darling any more I'm sitting by the river And I'm weeping all the day For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore No Bananas In The Sky (Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes) There are no bananas in the sky, In the sky There are no bananas in the sky, In the sky There's a sun and moon, And coconut cream pie But there are no bananas in the sky, In the sky No - Action of sweeping hands from crossed position across the chest outwards and away form the body Bannanas - Action of peeling a bannana Sky - Action of pointing upwards towards the sky Sun - Action of putting hands against side of head palms facing forwards to make the shape of the sun Moon - Action of putting hands to one side of head to make a pillow for the head to rest on as if asleep Coconut cream pie - Action of feeding a hand sized pie into mouth No Boots At All
Way down in the land of the Antipodes Where the lights of the camp-fires shine bright on the trees Bushmen will tell you as night shadows fall There's a ghost roams the ranges with no boots at all No boots, no boots at all Roaming the ranges with no boots at all! Way down in the city so sinful and bad There lived a young fellow, a promising lad He wanted to be a big bold mountaineer But his mother replied as she tossed down her beer
Our hero, he murmured "Regardless press on" When she woke in the morning, she found he was gone And off to the hills went her agonised shout "You've got no boots at all if you want to bail out!" He found a big mountain and climbed to the top And stood on the edge of that horrible drop He thought of his mother all over again He could still hear her shouting that mournful refrain The god of the mountain looked down from his throne And saw the young climber astanding alone He said to his angel "Go down with a swoosh And give that young fellow a helluva push" The Angel of Destiny swept through the pass And planted a foot fair and square on his pants As over and over and over fell he The angels were singing this sweet melody St Peter, he stood at the heavenly gate Checking in drunks coming early and late The Orderly Angel just dropped in to say "There's a dirty big climber a-coming this way" St Peter came down with a bucket of beer Saying, "Sorry, young fellow, you can't come in here With thousands of angels to answer your call You'd be no good in heaven with no boots at all" The night it was stormy, the hour it was late When our hero arrived at the Satanic Gate The little black devils, they spat in his face To show you, they said, it's a helluva place! The devil said "Sorry, I can't let you in Unless you've been leading a lifetime of sin But how could you wallow, and how could you fall? You can't be a sinner with no boots at all!" Now all you young fellows who some day may roam Be careful to stay with your mother at home With no one to love him or answer his call His ghost roams the ranges with no boots at all It's Sunday night and it's half past nine We're leavin' one more town behind The mirrors are showing the day's last glow As we spin out into the jigsaw flow of life Up ahead where there should be the thickness of night Stars are pinned on a shimmering curtain of light The sky's full of rippling cliffs and chasms That shine like a sign on the road to heaven I've been cut by the beauty of jagged mountains And cut by the love that flows like a fountain from God
So I carry these scars precious and rare And tonight I feel like I'm made of air Now the Day is Over
Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh Shadows of the evening steal across the sky Now the darkness gathers, stars begin to peep Birds and beasts and flowers soon will be asleep Grant to all the weary, calm and sweet repose With the kindest blessing, may our eyelids close Grant to those who suffer rest and balm in thee Guard the sailors tossing on the deep blue sea When the morning wakens, then may I arise Pure and fresh and hopeful, sunrise in my eyes Oh, Dear!

Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme To keep the beat, slap your knees and clap your hands and repeat throughout the whole song.
Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme, there were three bears. One was a papa bear, one was a momma bear, and one was a wee-bear. They all went a walkin' in the deep forest talkin when along came the girl, with the long golden hair she knocked on the door, no one was there. In came those three bears, (deep voice) Someone's been eating my porridge said the papa bear, said the papa bear. (high pitched voice) Someone's been eating my porridge said the mamma bear, said the mamma bear Hey bob a rebear, said the little wee-bear, (slap knees with emphasis) SOMEONE HAS BROKEN MY CHAIR!

A man was walking up and down To find a place where he could dine in town A man was walking up and down To find a place where he could dine He found himself a fancy place And entered in with simple grace And entered in with simple grace He took his purse his pocket hence But all he found was fifteen cents He scanned the menu through and through To see what fifteen cents would do The only thing 'twould to at all Was buy just one fish ball He call the waiter down the hall And softly whispered, "One fish ball" The waiter bellowed down the hall "This gentlemen here wants one fish ball!" The guests, they turned both one and all To see who'd ordered one fish ball
The shaken man grew ill at ease But softly whispered, "Bread, sir, please The waiter bellowed down the hall "You get no bread with one fish ball!" The wretched man then went outside A-looking for a place to hide There is a moral to this all Don't ask for bread with one fish ball One Man Went to Mow

Carve his name with pride and courage Let no tear be shed If he had not laid down his life We all would now be dead Joseph died as he wished to He answered duty's call He single-handed fought the beast That would have slain us all
His bloodstained coat's a tribute to His final sacrifice His body may not be with us But his soul's in paradise One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story that was written long ago Of a kingdom on a mountain and the valley far below On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own Go ahead and hate your neighbour, 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 judgement day On the bloody morning after, one tin soldier rides away Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses draw your swords And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward Now they stood beside their treasure, on the mountain dark and dread Turned the stone and looked beneath it.

On top of old Smoky, all covered with snow I lost my true lover from courting too slow Now, courting is pleasure and parting is grief And a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief For a thief will just rob you and take what you have But a false-hearted lover will lead you to the grave And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust; Not one boy in a hundred a poor girl can trust They'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies Than cross ties on a railroad or stars in the skies So, come all you young maidens and listen to me Never place your affection on a green willow tree For the leaves they will whither, and the roots they will die You'll all be forsaken and never know why On Top of Spaghetti (On Top of Old Smokey) Actions: make appropriate finger and body actions for the words, and don't leave out a real, live sneeze On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed It rolled off the table, and onto the floor And then my poor meatball, Rolled out of the door It rolled in the garden, and under a bush And then my poor meatball, Was nothing but mush The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be And early next summer, It grew into a tree The tree was all covered with beautiful moss It grew lovely meatballs and tomato sauce So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese Hold on to your meatballs, and don't ever sneeze

You were mine for just a while, now you're putting on the style And you never once looked back to your home across the track You're the gossip of the town, but my heart can still be found Where you tossed it on the ground. Pick me up on your way dowe Pick me up on your way down, when you're blue and all alone When the glamour starts to bore you, come on back where you belong You may be their pride and joy but they'll find another toy Then they'll take away your crown.

Roses are red my love, violets are blue Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (As sweet as you) A long long time ago on graduation day You handed me your book, I signed it this way We dated through high school and when the big day came I wrote into your book next to my name Then I went far away and you found someone new I read your letter dear and I wrote back to you Is that your little girl? She looks a lot like you Someday some boy will write in her book too Roses are red my love, violets are blue Sugar is sweet my love, Good Luck and may God bless you Row, Row, Row
And then he'd row, row, row Way up the river he would row, row, row A hug he'd give her, then he'd kiss her now and then She would tell him then He'd fool around and fool around and Then they'd kiss again And then he'd row, row, row
A little further he would row, oh, oh, oh, oh Then he'd drop his oars Take a few more encores And then he'd row, row, row Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream Running Bear
On the banks of the river Stood Running Bear, young Indian brave On the other side of the river Stood a lovely Indian maid Little White Dove was her name Such a lovely sight to see But their tribes fought with each other So their love could never be Running Bear loves little White Dove With a love big as the sky Running Bear loves little White Dove With a love that'll never die They couldn't swim the raging river 'Cos. the river was too wide He couldn't reach his little White Dove Waiting on the other side In the moonlight he could see her Blowing kisses cross the waves Her little heart was beating faster Waiting for her brave Running Bear dived in the water Little White Dove did the same As they swam towards each other Through the swirling waves they came As their hands touched and their lips met The raging river pulled them down Now they'll always be together In that happy hunting ground Sandwich Song (Battle Hymn of the Republic) I walk into a restaurant And t his is what I cry "I want a chicken sandwich Cup of coffee, piece of pie" Oh, you will surely hear me
Sing this song until I die! "I want a chicken sandwich Cup of coffee, piece of pie" Santa's Coming (Brother John) Santa's coming, Santa's coming Can you hear? Can you hear? Jingle Bells are jingling, we are happy singing Christmas Bells, Christmas Bells Sarah the Whale (Dixie) In Frisco town there lived a whale They fed her peanuts by the pail And washtubs and bathtubs And sailboats and schooners Her name is Sarah and she's a peach But don't put food within her reach Or babies, or nursemaids Or chocolate ice cream sodas She loves to smile and when she smiles You can see her teeth for miles and miles And her tonsils and her spare ribs And things too fierce to mention Now what can you do in a case like that There's nothing to do but sit on your hat Or your toothbrush, or your best friend Or anything else that's helpless Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to the one who lives there For she once was a true love of mine. Have her make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Without a seam or fine needle worn And she'll be a true love of mine Have her wash it in yonder dry well Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Where ne'er a drop of water e'er fell And then she'll be a true love of mine Dear, when thou hast finished thy task Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Come to me, my hand for to ask For thou then art a true love of mine Schnell (The Marine Corps Hymn) From the ants in our petunia bed

The buses that you ride in, they say are mighty fine But when they turn a corner, they leave the wheels behind Oh, I don't want to go to . . . Scout Camp Please, Skip, I want to go, but they won't let me go Please, Skip, I want to go home Alternative Chorus: I don't wanna go to Scout Camp Mommy, I wanna go back where the toilets flow Mommy, I wanna go ho-o-ome The leaders that they have here, they say are mighty fine But when you get up closer, they look like Frankenstein The Leaders that they have here, they say they're really fine But when you ask a question, they say "get back in line" The first aid that they give you, they say is mighty fine But if you cut your finger, you're left with only nine The first aid that they give you, they say is mighty fine But when you break a finger, they break the other nine The water that they have here they say is mighty fine But when you try to drink it, it tastes like turpentine The biscuits that they serve you, they say are mighty fine But one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine The spagetti that they serve you, they say is mighty fine They rinse it the toilet and drain it on the line The chicken in the army, they say is mighty fine But once two drumsticks got up, and started beating time The cocoa that they serve you, they say is mighty fine It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine The tents that you sleep in, they say are mighty fine But whoever said this has never slept in mine The toilets that they have here are the best that they can get Last night my tent mate had to go, they haven't found him/her yet They say that in the army, the girls are mighty fine You ask for Farrah Fawcett, they give you Frankenstein Scout Travellers (Home on the Range) Oh, give us a train or a boat or a plane That will carry . . . Scouts away To Paris or Rome, let us wander and roam And discover new things each day
Relax on a trail, float over the waves all day Or glide through the clouds, far over the crowds But be home before five each day On a broomstick we'll ride, in a rowboat we'll glide In a rocket we'll go to the moon And our trip will be fun but soon will be done Air pockets could end it too soon Up, up, and away; let us orbit the far distant sun Or deep on the floor of the sea let's explore And as . . . Scouts we'll always have fun Senior Citizen Song
'Tis true we are no longer youthful A fact we've no need to conceal But if the old adage be truthful We're only as old as we feel Three score years and more But counting our blessings instead of years Three score years and more Our blessings outnumber the years As lovely as flowers in December Are memories that memory brings The happiest days we remember The sad ones grow less with the years We'll never grow rich on our pensions We'll just try to make it suffice Our wealth is in friendships but sometimes A little more cash would be nice Some think the best days are behind us And all the good times in the past But then we would like to remind them That often the best wine comes last She Died, She Did
She died, she did, she died of a broken rib she did She died, she did, she died of a broken rib she did She did, she died, she died, she did She died, she did, of a broken rib, of a broken rib She died, she did She Left Me Standing on the mountain
Darling will you marry me, I asked a maiden fair I turned my back upon her, when I looked she wasn't there She left me standing, standing on the mountain She left me standing way up there Where the honey bees are buzzin' round the flowers there That is where she vanished somewhere in that mountain air
She left me standing, standing on the mountain She left me standing way up there I just saw a Wip-por-will a talkin' to a bear They were both a laughin' about givin' me the air She left me standing, standing on the mountain She left me standing way up there I would give most anything if she would reappear And tell me she'd get her father's mountain ears She left me standing, standing on the mountain She left me standing way up there She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes. (Whoo, whoo!) She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes. (Whoo, whoo!) She'll be comin' 'round the mountain, comin' 'round the mountain She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes She'll be driving six white horses, when she comes (Whoa, back!) . . Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes (Hi babe!) . . She'll be wearing silk pyjamas when she comes (Wolf whistle) . .

Make up more verses, for example: radiator boiled over, steering wheel fell off, tires went flat, etc Finally: She'll wind up in the junk yard when she comes (Quissh, quissh) . . She Sat on a Hillside
She sat on a hillside and strummed her guitar strummed her guitar, strummed her guitar She sat on a hillside and strummed her guitar strummed her gui-ta-a-a-ar He sat down beside her and smoked his cigar . . He said that he loved her but, oh! How he lied . . They were to be married but somehow she died . . He went to her funeral but just for the ride . . He went to her grave site and laughed 'til he cried . .
The grave stone fell over and squish-squash he died . . She went up to heaven and flittered and flied . . He went down below and sizzled and fried . . The moral of this song is: don't tell a lie . . Shine On, Harvest Moon, Medley

Show me the way to go home I'm tired and I want to go to bed Oh, I had a little drink about an hour ago And it's gone right to my head Wherever I may roam, on land or sea or foam You will always hear me singing this song Show me the way to go home Indicate the way to my abode
I'm fatigued and I wish to retire Oh, I had a little beverage 60 minutes ago And it's gone right to my cranium Wherever I may perambulate, on land or sea or atmospheric preassure You will always hear me chanting this melody Show me the way to my abode Side By Side
Oh! We ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along Singing a song, side by side Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road Sharin' our load, side by side Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall Just as long as we're together It doesn't matter at all When they've all had their quarrels and parted We'll be the same as we started Just travellin' along, singing a song Side by side; side by side Sidewalks of New York
East side west side all around the town The tots sang "Ring a round Rosie" "London Bridge is Falling Down" Boys and girls together Me and Mamie O'Rorke Tripped the light fantastic On the sidewalks of New York Simple Gifts
'Tis a gift to be simple, 'tis a gift to be free 'Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be And when we find ourselves in the place just right We will live in the valley of love and delight When true simplicity is gained To bow and to bend we shall not be ashamed To turn and to turn will be our delight 'Til by turning and turning we come round right The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof Its streets, its streams, as well as stars above Salvation is here where we laugh, where we cry Where we seek and love, where we live and die
When true liberty is found By fear and by hate we will no more be bound In love and in life we will find a new birth In peace and in freedom redeem the earth Sing

There's a singing waterfall in the mountains far away That's where I'd go to meet her at the close of every day That's where my darling's sleeping there beyond the spray I often sit and wonder why the Lord took her away We'd go there every evening when the sun was sinking low And we'd listen to the water as it rippled soft and low But since she's gone to heaven I miss her most of all Tonight my darling's sleeping by the singing waterfall Last night as I lay sleeping I heard my darling call And then I went to meet her by the singing waterfall She took me in her arms just like she used to do And then I heard her whisper, we'll meet beyond the blue Sipping Cider Through a Straw

Speed bonny boat, like a bird on the wing "Onward!" the sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to Skye Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar Thunder claps rend the air Baffled, our foes stand by the shore Follow they will not dare Though the waves leap, soft Charlie sleep The ocean's a royal bed Rocked on the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your weary head Many's the lad fought on that day Well the claymore could wield When the night came silently lay Dead on Culloden's field Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar Thunder claps rend the air Baffled, our foes stand by the shore Follow they will not dare Burnt are our homes; exile and death Scatter our loyal men Yet ere the sword's cold in its sheath Charlie will come again S-M-I-L-E (John Brown's Body) It isn't any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E

Young folks, old folks, everybody come Join our happy Sunday School, and have a lot of fun Please check your chewing gum and raisins at the door And you'll hear some Bible stories that you've never heard before Shadrak, Meshak, and Abednigo Wouldn't obey the king, so they had to go Put 'em in a furnace to burn 'em up like chaff But their asbestos B.V.D.s gave the king a laugh The world was made in six days and finished on the seventh According to the contract it should have been the eleventh But the union called a strike and workers wouldn't work So the only thing that they could do was fill it up with dirt Adam was the first man that ever was invented He lived all his life and never was contented He was made of clay in the days gone by And hung on a fence in the sun to dry Adam was a gardener and Eve was his spouse They got the sack for stealing fruit and took to keeping house They lived a very quiet life and peaceful in the main 'Til Eve had a baby and they started raising Cain Noah was a mariner who sailed around the sea With half a dozen relatives and a big menagerie He failed the first season when it rained for forty days For in that kind of weather no circus ever pays Joseph was a shepherd, too, he kept his father's goats His father used to dress him in the very loudest coats His brothers they got jealous and threw him in a well Joseph went to heaven and others went to hell Joshua played the trumpet, so runs the ancient rhyme He taught the Israelites to play in syncopated time But when they played in Jericho, their music raised a frown So he set the boys a'swinging, and the walls come tumbling down Pharaoh had a daughter, she had a winsome smile She found the infant Moses a-floating in the Nile She took him to her father, said "I've found him on the shore" Pharaoh winked his eye and said "I've heard that tale before" Jonah was an landsman, so runs the Bible tale He took a steerage passage on a transatlantic whale Jonah in the belly of the whale felt quite compressed So he pushed a little button and the whale did the rest Samson was a husky guy as everyone should know
He used to lift five-hundred pounds as strongman on the show One week the bill was rotten and the actors had a souse But the strongman act of Samson's, still brought down the house David was a shepherd boy, a plucky little cuss Along came Goliath a-looking for a fuss David took a slinky and socked him on the crust Goliath reeled a couple a times and then he bit the dust God made Satan, Satan made sin God made a hot place to keep Satan in Satan didn't like it so he said he wouldn't stay He's been acting like the devil ever since that day Daniel was a prophet, he wouldn't obey the king The king said to Daniel, "This is a naughty thing." Put him in a lion's den with lions down beneath But Daniel was an artist so he drew the lions' teeth Salomi was a dancer and she danced before the king She wiggled and she waggled and she shook most everything The king tells Salomi, "We'll have no scandal here!" "The hell we won't!" Salomi said, and she kicked the chandelier Sunny Side of the Street

A miner asked, "Betsy, will you dance with me?" "I will that, old hoss, if you don't make too free "But don't dance me hard, do you want to know why?

The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking The harp thro' it playing has language for me Whenever the light through its branches is breaking A host of kind faces is gazing on me The friends of my childhood again are before me Each step wakes a mem'ry as freely I roam With soft whispers laden its leaves rustle o'er me The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander When twilight is fading, I pensively rove Or at the bright moontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove 'Tis there where the blackbird is cheerfully singing Each warbler enchants with his notes from a tree Ah then little think I of sorrow or sadness The ash grove entrancing spells beauty for me My laughter is over, my step loses lightness Old countryside measures steal soft on my ears I only remember the past and its brightness The dear ones I mourn for again gather here From out of the shadows their loving looks greet me And wistfully searching the leafy green dome I find other faces fond bending to greet me The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home The Band Played On
Casey would waltz with the strawberry blond, and the band played on He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored, and band played on His brain was so loaded it nearly exploded The poor girl would shake with alarm He married the girl with the strawberry curl, and the band played on

Ah those old northern lights, they have seen clear sights But the clearest sights that they did ever see It was on a moonlit mars of that old Lake Lavard On the night that I cremated Sam McGee Now my pal Sam McGee was from ol' Tennersee In the land where the cotton blooms grow But why Sam left his home in the deep deep south ta roam Round the cold way up north God only knows In the long search for gold he was always so cold How he longed again to roam the southern plain I would love to see him wade, how he feared the icy glade When I die he said cremate my last remains Well a fellows last need is a thing we have to heed So I promised and I swore I would not fail And again we started on at the first streaks o dawn But o God he was looki.n' ghastly pale He crouched on the sleigh and he raved away all day About the warmth from his home in Tennersee And before the night did fall, I'd a promise to recall Cause that was all that's left of Sam McGee
And I came upon the mars of that old Lake Lavard Where a broken down derelic did lay She was jammed there in a vice of twenty feet of frozen ice Was abandoned and left there to decay Some planks I quickly tore from it's old cabin floor And I gathered up the chunks of scattered boards Soon the blaze was burnin' red, seem'd that ol' McGee was dead So I stuffed him in that ol' crematin' hole There sat my buddy Sam lookin' mighty cool and calm In the heart of those furnace flames galore And he wore a great big smile you could almost see a mile As he chuckled hurry up an' close the door She's a fine place in here but I greatly fear You may let in that awful cold and storm For since I left Palm Tree down in good ol' Tennersee She's the first time that I've been better warm Ah those old northern lights, they have seen clear sights But the clearest sights that they did ever see It was on a moonlit mars of that old Lake Lavard On the night that I cremated Sam McGee On the night that I cremated Sam McGee The Cruel War

The great meat pie was a tidy size And it took a week to make it A day to carry it to the shop And just a week to bake it And if you'd seen it I'll be bound Your wonder you'd scarce govern They were forced to break the front wall down to get it in the oven It too full thirty sacks of flour It's a fact now that I utter Three hundred pails of water, too And a hundred tubs of butter The crust was nearly seven feet thick You couldn't easily bruise it And the rolling pin was such a size It took ten men to use it There were twenty-five spareribs of pork I'm sure I'm not mistaken With two and thirty hams for York And twenty sides of bacon The pie was made by fifty cooks And all of them first raters And then they filled up all the nooks with a ton of kidney 'taters The Gypsy Rover
The Gypsy rover went over the hill
Down to the valley so shady He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang For he won the heart of a lady Ha di do, ah dido da day, ah di do, ah di day-ee He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang For he won the heart of a lady. She left her father's castle gate She left her own true lover She left her servants and her estate To follow the Gypsy rover Her father saddled his fastest steed He searched the valley all over He sought his daughter at great speed And the whistling Gypsy rover He came at last to a mansion fine Down by the river Claydee And there was music and there was wine For the Gypsy and his lady "He is no Gypsy, my father," said she "But a lord of freelands all over And I will stay to my dying day With my whistling Gypsy rover The Happy Wanderer
I love to go a-wandering Along the mountain track And as a go I love to sing My knapsack on my back Valderi, Valdera, Valderi Valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Valderi, Valdera My Knapsack on my back I love to wander by the stream That dances in the sun So joyously it calls to me Come join my happy song I wave my hat to all I meet And they wave back to me And blackbirds call so loud and sweet From every greenwood tree High overhead the skylarks wing They never rest at home But just like me they love to sing As o'er the world we roam Oh, may I go a-wandering Until the day I die And may I always laugh and sing

There once was a musical troupe, a pickin' swingin' folks group They sang the mountain ballads, and the folks songs of our land They've a lot of musical ability, folks thought they would go far But political incompatibility led to their downfall
Well the one on the right was on the left And the one in the middle was on the right And the one on the left was in the middle And the guy in the rear was a Methodist This musical acregation toured the entire nation Singing traditional ballads and folks songs of our land They performed with great virtuosity and soon they were to rate But political animosity prevailed upon the stage Well the one on the right was on the left And the one in the middle was on the right And the one on the left was in the middle And the guy in the rear burned his driver's licence At a certain harvest rendered, a hush fell on the crowd As thousands there were gathered to hear the folks sing of out land But they took their politics seriously And that night at the concert hall As the audience watched dilleriously, they had a free for all Well the one on the right was on the bottom And the one in the middle was on the top And the one on the left had a broken arm And the guy in the rear said; Oh dear! Now this should be a lesson. If you plan to start a folks group Don't go mixin' politics with the folks of our land Just work on harmony and diction, play your banjo well And if you have political convictions, keep 'em to yourself Now the one on the left works in a bank And the one in the middle drives a truck And the one on the right's an all night D.J And the guy in the rear got drafted The Rattling Bog
Ro, ro the rattling bog The bog down in the valley O Rare bog the rattling bog A bog down in the valley O And on that bog there was a tree A rare tree, a rattling tree The tree in the bog and the bog down in the valley O Each verse adds an additional line And on that feather there was a flea A rare flea a rattling flea The flea on the feather and the feather on the wing And the wing on the bird and the bird on the egg And the egg on the nest and the nest on the leaf And the leaf on the twig and the twig on the branch And the branch on the limb and the limb on the tree And the tree in the bog and the bog down in the valley O

On that tragic and fateful day Put his Scout knife in his/her pocket Kissed his dog and family When to hike in the woods far away Well, did he ever return? No, he never returned And his fate is still unlearned: He may roam forever in the woods and mountains He's the Scout who never returned Now you citizens of town name Don't you think it's a scandle How ol' Scout's name got lost that day? Take the right equipment; TAKE ALONG A BUDDY When you hike in the hills that way Or else you'll never return No, you'll never return And your fate will be unlearned: (just like Scout's name) You may roam forever in the woods and mountains Like the Scout who never returned The Ship Titanic
Oh, they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue And they thought they had a ship that the water would never leak through But the Lord's almighty hand knew that ship would never stand It was sad when the great ship went down Oh, it was sad, it was sad; it was sad, it was sad It was sad when the great ship went down, to the bottom of the .. Husbands and wives, little-bitty children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down Oh, they sailed away from England, and were almost to the shore When the rich refused to associate with the poor So they put them down below, where they were the first to go It was sad when the great ship went down The boat was full of din, and the sides about to burst When the captain shouted "Women and children first!" Then the captain tried to wire, but the wireless was on fire It was sad when the great ship went down So they swung the lifeboats out o're the deep and raging sea The band struck up with 'Nearer My God to Thee' Little children wept and cried, as the waves swept, o're the side
It was sad when the great ship went down Oh the moral to be gained from this tale of woe and pain Is that if you're rich you should not be so vain For in the good Lord's eyes, you're the same as other guys It was sad when the great ship went down Oh they built another ship they called, "Titanic II." They were sure this time that the water would never leak thorough So they launched it with a cheer, and it sank right off the pier It was sad when the great ship went down The Snakes Crawl at Night
Oh the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say When the sun goes down, then the snakes will play I watched that car pull right up into my driveway Saw a shadow slip away from my house So I hurried straight and looked in her room And I found out it was my loving spouse And I waited in the shadows until morning And the gun I held was trembling in my hand No I did not plan to give them any warning For the devil on my shoulder had command Oh the trail in a little while was over And they sentenced me to die right away But before I leave this courtroom, please your Honour There's something more I'd like to say . . .

If you go down in the woods today You're sure of a big surprise If you go down in the woods today You'd better go in disguise For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic Picnic time for teddy bears The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today Watch them, catch them unaware And see them picnic on their holiday See them gaily gad about
They love to sing and shout They never have any cares At six o'clock their mummies and daddies Will take them home to bed Because they're tired, little teddy bears The Telephone Song
Leader: Everybody say Leaders's Name Group: Leader's Name Leader: I thought I heard my name (sung) Leader: Everybody say Leaders's Name Group: Leaders's Name Leader: I thought I heard it again. (sung) Leader: Everybody sing "Leaders's Name you're wanted on the telephone" Group: Leaders's Name you're wanted on the telephone Leader: Well if it's not "Jim" then I'm not home Group: Jim Jim: I thought I heard my name (Leader can help sing) Group: Jim Jim: I Thought I heard it again Group: Jim you're wanted on the telephone Jim: Well if it's not (Name Beaver on right) then I'm not home and so on and on....around the dam. Each Beaver's name is said 4 times and he only has to introduce himself to the person on his left. Chances are he won't even have to do this because Beavers tend to sit beside people they know. The song leader will probably have to help some of the boys to sing the reply and so should follow the song around the dam The Thing
As I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin' in the bay I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise I discovered a -, -,-right before my eyes! Oh, I discovered a -, -,-right before my eyes! I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king I took it to a guy I know who'd buy most anything But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop "Oh, get out of here with that -, -,-before I call a cop!" "Oh, get out of here with that -, -,-before I call a cop!" I turned around and got right out a-runnin' for my life And then I took it home with me to give it to my wife But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door "Oh get out of here with that -, -, -, and don't come back no more" "Oh get out of here with that -, -, -, and don't come back no more" I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet A hobo who was looking for a handout on the street He said he'd take most any old thing, he was a desperate man But when I showed him the -, -, -, he turned a-round and ran
But when I showed him the -, -, -, he turned a-round and ran I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate Un-til one day I came upon Saint Peter at the gate And when I tried to take it inside he told me where to go "Get out of here with that -, -, -, and take it down be-low!" "Get out of here with that -, -, -, and take it down be-low!" The moral of this story is; if you're out on the beach And you should see a great big box, and it's within your reach Don't ever stop and open it up, that's my advice to you 'Cause you'll never get rid of the -, -,-no matter what you do! 'Cause you'll never get rid of the -, -,-no matter what you do!

The Unicorn
A long time ago when the earth was green There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen They'd run around free while the ark was being born But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn There were green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born The loveliest of all was the unicorn Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave him pain And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain" He says, "Hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do Build me a floating zoo" "Take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born Don't you forget my unicorn" Old Noah was there to answer the call He finished up making the ark just as the rain started fallin' He marched in the animals two by two And he called out as they went through "Hey Lord, I got You green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but I'm so forlorn I just can't see no unicorn" Then Noah looked out through the driving rain Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games Kicking and splashin' while the rain was pourin' Oh, them silly unicorns There were green alligators and long-necked geese some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain was pourin' And we just can't wait for no unicorn" The ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried And the waters came down and sort of floated them away That's why you never seen a unicorn to this very day You'll see some green alligators and long-necked geese some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants but as sure as you're born You're never gonna see no unicorn The Wandering Fly

Whenever You Make A Promise (Round) Whenever you make a promise, consider well its importance; And when made, engrave it upon your heart When I First Came to this Land
When I first came to this land I was not a wealthy man So I got myself a shack And I did all I could And I called my shack 'Break my back' But the land was sweet and good And I did all I could When I first came to this land I was not a wealthy man So I got myself a cow And I did all I could And I called my cow 'No milk now' And I called my shack 'Break my back' But the land was sweet and good And I did all I could Hen - 'Now and then' Donkey - 'Horse gone wonky' Wife - 'Run for your life' Son - 'My work's done' When I First Came to this Pack (When I First Came to this Land) When I first came to this Pack some equipment I did lack So I got myself a book, I did what I could And I called the book sneak a look But the kids were pretty good, so I did what I could Some wood - 'that looks good'
Some string - 'just the thing' A ball - 'fun for all' A bat - 'just like that' Some card - 'they'll work hard' When I Grow Too Old to Dream
When I grow too old to dream, I'll have you to remember When I grow too old to dream, your love will live in my heart So hug me, my friend, and so let us part And when I grow too old to dream, that hug will live in my heart When Irish Eyes are Smiling
When Irish eyes are smiling, Sure it's like a morn in spring In the lilt of Irish laughter, You can hear the angels sing When Irish hearts are happy, All the world seems bright and gay And when Irish eyes are smiling, Sure they steal your heart away When You and I Were Young Maggie
I wandered today to the hill, Maggie To watch the scene below The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie As we used to long ago The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie Where first the daisies sprung! The creeking old mill is still, Maggie Since you and I were young When You're Smiling When you're smiling, when you're smiling The whole world smiles with you When you're laughing, when you're laughing The sun comes shining through But when you're crying, you bring on the rain So stop your sighing, be happy again Keep on smiling, 'cause when you're smiling The whole world smiles with you Whiffenpoof Song
To the tables down at Morey's To the place where Louis dwells To that dear old Temple Bar, we love so well Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled With their glasses raised on high And the magic of their singing cast a spell Yes the magic of their singing Of the songs we love so well
Sing, "A waisting," and "Mauvaureen" and the rest We'll serenade our Louis While voice and life shall last Then we'll pass and be forgotten with the rest We are poor little lambs Who have gone astray Baa, Baa, Baa; We are little black sheep Who have gone astray Baa, Baa, Baa Gentlemen songsters off on a spree Doomed from here to eternity Lord have mercy on such as we Baa, Baa, Baa Whispering
Whispering while you cuddle near me Whispering so no one can hear me Each little whisper seems to cheer me I know it's true there's no one dear, but you You're whispering why you'll never grieve me Whisper and say that you believe me Whispering that I love you White Coral Bells
White coral bells Upon slender stalk Lilies-of-the-valley Deck my garden walk Oh don't you wish That you could hear them ring? But that will only happen When the fairies sing Who'll Come A-Scouting (Waltzing Matilda) Once a mighty soldier, beloved by his fellow men Under the shade of the flag of the free Took some youth and trained them Taught them to be brave and true Who'll come a-Scouting, a-Scouting with me Keep on a-working, never a-shirking Carry out the rules as you know them to be And we'll sing as we put our shoulders and our brains to work Who'll come a-Scouting, a-Scouting with me Soon the little band grew, swelling to great number Through other countries, one, two, three Then around the world it spread, stronger, ever stronger
Who'll come a-Scouting, a-Scouting with me Keep on praying, keep on saying If we work hard enough, then we'll stay free And we'll sing as we put our shoulders and our brains to work Who'll come a-Scouting, a-Scouting with me Wild Rover

Woad (Men of Harlech) What's the use of wearing braces ? Vests and pants and boots with laces ? Spats and hats you buy in places Down the Brompton Road ? What's the use of shirts of cotton ? Studs that always get forgotten ? These affairs are simply rotten, Better far is woad. Woad's the stuff to show men. Woad to scare your foemen. Boil it to a brilliant hue And rub it on your back and your abdomen. Ancient Briton ne'er did hit on Anything as good as woad to fit on Neck or knees or where you sit on. Tailors you be blowed !! Romans came across the channel All dressed up in tin and flannel Half a pint of woad per man'll Dress us more than these. Saxons you can waste your stitches Building beds for bugs in britches We have woad to clothe us which is Not a nest for fleas Romans keep your armours. Saxons your pyjamas. Hairy coats were made for goats, Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas Tramp up Snowdon with your woad on, Never mind if you get rained or blowed on Never want a button sewed on.

Don't know if there are other verses or variations but this is what I have sung for many years. Alternate ending: I heard a crack and then a crunch Soon I was, that big bears lunch That's all there is Which isn't so much Unless that bear barfs up his lunch The Bear Song "I'm a Yankee Dooddle Dandee" from "Over There" was that Gershwin ... I can't remember. (Note from JG - it was Yankee Doodle Dandy - the story of George M. Cohan. The movie starred James Cagney. Over There was another song from the movie. Can you tell that is one of my favorites?) I'm A Juvenile Delinquent Oh I'm a juvenile delinquent, I roam the streets till 2AM I neck with sailors and I drink with bums I don't come home until the daylight comes. Oh I'm a juvenile delinquent I never ever stay at home My daddy, beats me, I never ever stay at home My mommy hates me, I never ever stay at home .....and then there's grandma Swingin on the outhouse door, Without her undies Waitin for the garbage man.

Brady Bunch - joining troops Okay, don't laugh your butts off now, but the first thing I thought of was adapting the "Brady Bunch" song. Here, I'll give it a shot: Lynn Chaput, Jr Leader & SUM, Central Mass. Here's the story, of some super Girl Scouts, Who were busy with a troop they called their own. They all had vests of green, like their leader, And a Girl Scout Pin. Here's the story, of some more great Girl Scouts, Who were also busy with their own troop too. They were ___(#) girls, meeting together, Yet they felt all alone. 'Til the one day when the one troop met the other, And they knew that it was much more than a hunch, That these groups might somehow form a big troop, And that's the way they became Troop ____(#). Troop ____(#) Troop ____(#), That's the way they became Troop ____(#)!!!!! Brownie Smile Song
I’ve something in my pocket It belongs across my face . 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 BROWNlE SMlLE
And when your Brownies bridge to Juniors: I have something in my pocket, that's what I use to say. I spent my days quite aimlessly, at school, or home, at play. But now each day is special, I wonder, "Who am I?" Only I can find that out, so please, let me try! Cadence
( by Laurie Schultz, Tarheel Triad GSC) Juliette Gordon Low Started Girl Scouts Long ago 1912 that was the year That the Girl Scouts first met here (Break can be put in between each 4 line "verse" or where ever you think appropriate) Girl Scouts 1, 2 Girl Scouts 3, 4 Bring it on up 1& 2& 3& 4 Bring it on Down 4, 3, 2, 1 1, 2........ 3, 4 They did learn and they did play Helping people every day Then their numbers they were few Now they include me and you (Break) Millions strong are we right now Want to join I'll tell you how Make the Promise with your heart Keep our Law right from the start (Break) Hiking, biking, camping too
Resting only when we're through We have fun when'ere we're out And we're glad to be Girl Scouts (Break) Helping out where'ere we go Girl Scouts sure are in the know Daisies at the age of 5 Show their joy to be alive (Break) Brownies work on their Try-its Seeing how their whole world fits. Juniors do their worlds explore Planning much and wanting more (Break) Cadettes do on their Silver work (cadettes must be said fast to make this fit) Do it all and never shirk Seniors working on their Gold They are proud and they are bold (break) Leaders always on the go Cause they never can say no. Through it all we want to shout YES WE'RE PROUD TO BE GIRL SCOUTS Campin' in the Rain
[Tune: Singin' in the Rain] I'm campin' in the rain, just campin' in the rain. The tent and campfire are soggy again. The clouds in the sky are making me cry. My waterlogged shoes may never get dry. All the mud in the place is stuck on my face. The frogs and the turtles are starting to race. Oh, what should I do? I need a canoe. A webbed--footed weasel swam off with my shoe. I'm campin' in the rain; just campin' in the rain. The good doctor said I've got water on the brain.
I can't light the fire. I'm stuck in the mire. The lightning just knocked down the telephone wire. I'm drownin' in the rain; just drownin' in the rain. Won't it please stop raining --- I hate to complain. My sleeping bag's wet. I'm starting to fret. My life jacket wasn't the thing to forget. I'm campin' in the rain; just campin' in the rain. What a glorious feeling! Someone just plugged the drain. The pre--cip--i--tate will now dis--a--pate. The sun soon will dry up the puddle I hate. No more campin' in the rain. C-c-c-chigger
[Tune: K-K-Katy] C-c-c-chigger, horrible chigger, You're the only b-b-b-bug that I abhor. When the m-m-moon shines over the campsite, I will scratch my b-b-b-bites until they're sore. C-c-c-chicken, a la-la king-en, You're so g-g-g-good I want some more. When b-banquet is all over, I'll be waiting at the b-b-b-bathroom door. G-g-g-grapefruit, belligerent grapefruit, You're the only f-f-f-fruit that I detest. When I sp-spoon you from the rind, All the j-j-j-juice squirts right out on my vest. I-i-i-ice cream, c-c-c-cake-um, You're the very f-f-f-food that I adore. When I've f-finished with my salad, Please come through the k-k-k-kitchen door. Cookie Mommies
(to the tune of "Rubber Ducky") Cookie Mommies, you're the ones Who count the boxes, one by one. Cookie Mommies, we're awfully proud of you. Do, Do, Si, Do. We sell cookies for the scouts, But you're the reason it all works out. Cookie Mommies, its all because of you. Every box we sell Makes a little bit of money To pay for
All the projects and Buy the snacks for our tummies, Mommies! Cookie Mommies, you get the work done. You make selling lots of fun. Cookie Mommies, we o-o-owe it all to you!!!! Cookie Selling Time

Gee, Mom, I want to go home. The spaghetti that they serve you, they say is mighty fine They rinse it the toilet and drain it on the line. Oh, I don't want to go to Girl Scout Camp. Gee, Mom, I want to go home. The cocoa that they serve you, they say is mighty fine It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine. Oh, I don't want to go to Girl Scout Camp. Gee, Mom, I want to go home. The cabins that you sleep in, they say are mighty fine But whoever said this has never slept in mine. Oh, I don't want to go to Girl Scout Camp.

I don't know but I've been told, All Girl Scouts are good as gold. I am one, and I say its true, Scouting's great for me and you. Chorus: Sound off: 1 , 2 , Sound off: 3 , 4 ,
Bring it on down: 1,2,3, 4, 1, 2, - 3, 4 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 disc 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. Girl Scout Cadence 2

(tune: On Top of Old Smokey) You had better buy some, before they're all sold 'Cause all Girl Scout Cookies are better than gold. You hardly can wait 'til they come to your door, Then you gobble them up, 'cause that's what they're for. So here is your warning, before it's too late Buy some Girl Scout Cookies to fill up your plate. The Girl Scout Law
(to "Home on the Range") I will do-o-o my best
(Oh give me a home) To be honest and fair (Where the buffalo roam) Friendly and he-e-elpful (Where the deer and the antelope play) Considerate and caring (Where seldom is heard) Courageous and strong (A discouraging word) and responsible for what I say and do. (and the skies are not cloudy all day.) (and to) Respect my se-elf and others (Home, home on the range) Respect autho-ority (Where the deer and the antelope play) Use resources wisely (Where seldom is heard) Make the world a better place (A discouraging word) and be a sister to every Girl Scout! (And the skies are not cloudy all day!) GIRL SCOUT MAMBO
To the tune of Mambo #5: A little bit of breakfast on my plate, A little bit of dinner, don't be late, A little bit of gorp while we're on our hike, A little bit of s'mores by firelight, A little bit of brown bears on my stick, A little bit of pudding, not too thick, A little bit of ice cream in the can, We thank you, Lord, and say Amen. Girl Scout Spirit
I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, Up in my head, Up in my head, Up in my head, I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, Up in my head, Up in my head to stay. I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, Deep in my heart, Deep in my heart, Deep in my heart, I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, Deep in my heart, Deep in my heart to stay.
I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, Down in my feet, Down in my feet, Down in my feet,* I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, Down in my feet, Down in my feet to stay. I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, All over me, All over me, All over me, I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, All over me, All over me to stay I’ve got that Girl Scout Spirit, Up in my head, Deep in my heart, Down in my feet, I’ve got that Girl Scout spirit, All over me, All over me, to stay. Girl Scout Vest
[Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic] I wear my Girl Scout Vest to the meetings with my troop. It has a few stains on it from some paint and some glue goop. The front has all my badges that we earned learning stuff. The back has the fun patches for the things that weren't tough. Glory, glory, it's my vest Glory, glory, it's the best Gotta earn the sewing badge So I can sew them on myself! GROWING UP IN GIRL SCOUTS
tune--Brownie Smile Daisy "I've something in my pocket..." That's what the big girls say. I'll have a pocket of my own, When I wear brown someday. My life is bright and easy, I smile most of the day. I'm having lots of fun now, I sing and laugh and play! Brownie I've something in my pocket That belongs across my face. I keep it very close at hand
In a most convenient place. I bet you'll never guess it If you guess a long, long while I'll put it on and show you, It's my great big Brownie Smile. Junior "I've something in my pocket..." That's what I used to say. I spent my time so aimlessly, At home, at school, at play. Now every day is special, I'm searching, who am I? Only I can find that out Please let me have a try! Cadette "I've something in my pocket..." That's what I used to say. Playing childhood games with friends, Seems just like yesterday. I'm becoming a young woman, Soon I'll be a child no more, There's lots of opportunity, And so much to explore. Senior "I've something in my pocket..." That's what I used to say. Then Mother Nature waved her hand And childhood flew away. Today my needs are different, I wonder, 'What will be?' I'm making life decisions now, The choice is up to me. Leaders I have something in my pocket, That's what we always said, But now we are the leaders, Teaching them instead We teach them when they're young,
We guide them when they're old We watch them grow up strong and tall And that is our reward He's Got The Whole Scouts In His Hands

I've got something in my pocket That I found behind a log My leader said to put it back But I want to keep this frog It's cool and green and slimy And it wiggles in my hand I've also got a wooly worm And a pocket full of sand.

Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver and the other gold. A circle's round, it has no end, That's how long I want to be your friend. You help me and I'll help you, And together we will make it through. Silver shines bright and gold does too
Keep them both and they will shine for you! I have a hand, and you have another, Put them together and we have each other. You hug me and I'll hug you, And together we will see it through. A fire burns bright, it warms the heart, We've been friends right from the very start. Friends like you are one of a kind, Very special, but hard to find. Friends are real and friends are true, If you love them they will love you too. Across the miles, across the sea Friends forever we will always be. So good friend wherever you may roam, You'll be welcome in my heart and home. Cherish friendship in your breast New is good, but old is best. New made friend like new made wine Grow and mature to the end of the time. Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendship never knows decay. Friendships that have stood the test, Time and change are surely best. For amid old friends, tried and true, Once more we our youth renew. But old friends alas may die, New friends must their place supply. Friends are real and friends are true, If you love them they will love you too. Friends go together like peas and carrots Time in the forest will help you share it.
Camp's been fun, but it's time to go, We'll remember this for years we know. Camp is great. New friends are fun, Nature is everywhere beneath the sun. Make New Friends…Silly verses
Make new cheese, don't eat the old. One is food and the other's mold! Boys Scouts drool and Girl Scouts rule. That's what makes us Girl Scouts cool. Make New Friends poem, by Joseph Parry:
Make new friends, but keep the old: Those are silver, these are gold New-made friendships, like new wine Age will mellow and refine Friendships that have stood the test Time and change - are surely best: Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendship never knows decay. For 'mid old friends, tried and true Once more we our youth renew. But old friends, alas may die. New friends must their place supply. Cherish friendship in your breast New is good, but old is best; Make new friends, but keep the old: Those are silver, these are gold. Make New Friends in other languages
Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver and the other gold. A circle's round, it has no end, That's how long I want to be your friend. (Here are the above 4 lines in French) Fait des nouvelles amis, mais garde les vieux, Un est fait en argent l'autre en or. Un cercle est ronde, il n'a pas de fin, Voici combien de temps je veux etre ton ami. (And a version in Spanish) Amistad es lo que nos une (Friendship is that which unites us) E lo que nos hace progresar
(And that which makes us grow) MY MOM IS A GREAT GIRL SCOUT LEADER
(to the tune "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean") My mom is a great Girl Scout leader I know that she does it for me I wish that I could get to see her Please bring back my mommy to me! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me, to me! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me. I really love being a daisy and making the new friends you see I just wish my mom could be talking Not on the telephone but to me! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me, to me! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me. They asked for someone who would lead us Or no brownie troop there would be So my mom said that she would do it This took her time away from me. Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me, to me! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me. It started with a training meeting Training number two, number three nuts, cookies and the sock hop Thinking day and then QSP! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me, to me! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me. <Junior> She's learning a lot of new scout songs And singing them to everyone. Our house is filled up with strange craft stuff She's starting to think this is fun! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me, to me!
Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me. <Junior> Her daughter gets no special treatment Unless extra work means there's some We're early as meetings are set up And stay late 'til clean up is done. Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me, to me! Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my mommy to me. Now sometimes it starts to annoy me She's at every meeting, EACH ONE! I know that I really should like it but she sings in front of everyone! Please take, please take, please take my leader from me, from me. Please take, please take, please take my leader from me. We carry out many great projects and to distant places we roam. The troop thinks our leader's the greatest But she doesn't follow them home! Please take, please take, please take my leader from me, from me. Please take, please take, please take my leader from me. <Senior> I don't want to sell any cookies Or plan any more thinking days I really just want to go camping Why doesn't she see it that way? Please take, please take, please take my leader from me, from me. Please take, please take, please take my leader from me. <Senior> She's wearing her swap hat to Edwards! She's got her scout pins on at the mall. She's trying to ruin my whole life. She's scaring away all the boys. Please take, please take, please take my leader from me, from me.

Our Leaders
[tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic] We have tortured all the leaders, We have broken Girl Scout laws. We have driven them all loony, With our ever-constant noise. We have given them bad headaches, With our singing, all off key And now they are batty ever more. (CHORUS) Glory, glory alleluia, Girl Scouts slipped right by the leaders. Hid in the latrine With all their underwear. It's a wonder there are leaders anywhere. As you know, we love our leaders. We must have them for our troop. But it's lots of fun to tease them. And we know they love our group. But today they're feeling funny
As they hunt their underwear, We are glad there are leaders over there. Say When

Fades the light; And afar Goeth day, And the stars Shineth bright, Fare thee well; Day has gone, Night is on. Thanks and praise, For our days, 'Neath the sun, Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky, As we go, This we know, God is nigh. Twelve Days of Camping

I see you ain't, got any gun." . I said to him "That's a good idea." Come on now feet Iet's up and flee. And so I ran, away from there, But right behind, me came that bear. And then I saw ahead of me A great big tree Oh mercy me! The Iowest branch, was ten feet up. I’ll have to jump, and trust my luck. And so I jumped into the air, But I missed that branch away up there. Now don't you fret, and don't you frown, I caught that branch, on the way back down. That's all there is, there ain't no more Unless I see that bear once more.

ODE TO A GIRL SCOUT LEADER (Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic) I was glad to have a girl, because our first child was a son I thought of all the ruffles, all the frilly bows and fun. I thought of how we'd sit and talk at night when day was done Wasn't I the foolish one? She was only half past seven when they called me to the fore, I said, I'm not equipped, They said, Oh yes you are! What's more, We will train you in the basic, we’ll outfit you for the core And they shoved me out the door. Glory, Glory, I'm A leader How'd I get to be a leader? . AII I did was have a daughter Is this the price I . pay? They taught me to be thrifty, to be thoughtful to be true They. taught me how to string the beads Iike noble Indians do I had to learn to dig a trench, and how to use it to And they say that Scouting's grand! Glory, Glory, I'm a leader Me- They had to make a leader I can't even build a fire Let alone put up a tent
We went walking in the woodland, My Girl Scout troop and me The handbook says that nature has a wealth of sights to see It's true- We sure were sights when we were found eventuallyAnd I do all this for free I'm not meant to be a leader, I don’t know which bird is which My wiener forks all burn up, we come home from hikes and itch The sit-upons all felt apart, I showed them the wrong stitch. But no one wants to switch! Glory. Glory, I'm a leader HaIIeIujah, I'm a leader TeII me why I should be happy When no one envies me! But even though I grumble, and I mumble, and I shout Though there are days I wonder what's the best way to get out I guess when all is said and done, there isn't any doubt I'm glad to be a Scout Glory, Glory, I'm a leader Someone's got to be a leader They- can carve it on my tombstone Here's a gal who did her best.

ON MY HONOR (CHORUS On my honor I will try. There's a duty to be done and I say aye. There's a reason here for a reason above. My honor is to try and my duty is love. 1. People don't need to know my name. If I've done any harm then I'm to blame. If I've helped another, then I've helped me. If I've opened up my eyes to see. CHORUS 2. I've tucked away a song or two. When 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. CHORUS 3. Come with me where a fire burns bright We can even see better in a candle's light And we find more meaning in a campfire glow Than we'd ever learn in a year or so. CHORUS 4. We've made a promise to always keep And pray " softly falls" before we sleep We'll be Girl Scouts together and when we're gone We'll still be trying and singing this song CHORUS 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 watched the sunrise turn the sky completely red? Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine grove for your bed?
Do you sit and talk with friends, though a word is never said? Then you're just Iike me and you've been on the loose. CHORUS 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. So in following my dreams, I will live and I will grow On the trail that's out there 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 plans. So in time, when you are ready, come and join me, take my hand, And together we'll share life out on the loose. CHORUS ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI On top of spaghetti All covered with cheese I lost my poor meatball When somebody sneezed It rolled off the table And on to the floor And then my poor meatball Rolled out the door . It rolled in the garden And under a bush And then my poor meatball Was nothing but mush Oh, the mush was as tasty As tasty could be And early next summer It grew into a tree The tree was all covered With beautiful moss It grew lovely meatballs And tomato sauce
So if you eat spaghetti All covered with cheese Hold on to your meatball And don’t ever sneeze. 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 a 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. Justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowin' 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 . THE ORCHESTRA The violins ringing, with IoooooveIy singing The violins ringing, with IoooooveIy song.

ASH GROVE, (Welsh) Down yonder, green valley, where streamlets me-ander When twilight is fading, I pensive-ly rove.
Or at the bright noontide, in solitude wander A - mid the dark shades of the lonely Ash Grove. 'Tis there, where the blackbird is cheerfully singing, Each warbler en-chants with his note from the tree. Ah, then little think I of sorrow or sadness, The Ash Grove, en-chanting, spells beauty for me. The Ash Grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking, The harp thro' it playing has language for me. When-ever the light, thro' its branches is breaking, A host of kind faces is gazing on me. The friends of my childhood a-gain are be-fore me, Each step wakes a mem'ry as freely I roam. With soft whispers laden, i'ts leaves rustle o'er me, The Ash Grove, the Ash Grove, a-lone is my home. My laughter is over, my steps lose their lightness Old countryside measures steal soft on my ear. I only remember the past and it's brightness, The dear ones I mourn for again gather here. From out of the shadows their loving looks greet me, And wistfully searching the leafy green dome. I find other faces fond, bending to greet me, The Ash Grove, the Ash Grove, alone is my home BABY DUCK Wasn't it a bit of luck that I was born a baby duck, With yellow socks and yellow shoes That I may go wherever I choose, Quack... quack... quack, quack, quack..... yeah ducks!

Starboard shines green and port is glowing red I can see those barges up ahead. CHORUS How my heart longs to sail away with you As you sail across the ocean blue But I must stay behind my window clear, As I watch you sail away from here.

Friendship is a loving thing, it adds to life a glow, The feeling that a little fawn has for the doe; Comfort in the time of need, the moon shining on the hill, And, oh what a happy little child, bringing home a daffo-dil. Friendship is a happy thought, a warmness in your heart, Friends are those who understand, & friends will never part; For two people very much in love, in a life that's never still, And, oh, what a happy little child, bringing home a daffo-dil. Friendship is a flowering thing That grows throughout the years Nou-rished by our thoughtful deeds, our mem'ries & our tears; It may be fragile at the start, but a life it can fulfill And, oh , what a happy little child, bringing home a daffodil (MORE VERSES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST)

MAGIC MELODY Here I stand, all a-lone upon a hill so high Gazing at the sky as clouds drift by, And I hear a melo-dy from my heart. Leaves sing too,
echo-ing my lovely melo-dy,
Of my longing to be free to roam, In the sunlight of to-day and al-ways. Where I choose, in the heather by the restless sea, This is the magic song my heart sets free. I'm in love with the world, I'm in love with the world.
Rain may fall, all around me and the sky shows gray, Come again, my melody to say, I can see the rainbow smiling at me. Bright hues there, splendor painted on an arch of blue, And the morning sun beats through to say, Follow me to find the trea-sures of life. All the way, yet an-other path an-other day, Filled with promise and my magic song, in love with the world, I'm in love with the world, I'm in love with the world.

People don't need to know my name, If I've done any wrong, then I'm to blame. If I've helped another, then I've helped me If I've opened up my eyes to see. 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. CHORUS Come with me where a fire burns bright, We can even see better by a candle's light. And we find more meaning in a campfire's glow Than we'd ever learn in a year or so. CHORUS We've made a promise to always keep And we sing "Day is done" be-fore we sleep; We'll be Girl Scouts together and when we're gone...
We'll still be trying and singing this song.

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've only got a moment , And the whole world yet to see. I'll be looking for to-morrow on the loose. Have you ever seen the sunrise turn the sky completely red? Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, A pine bough for your head? you sit & talk with friends, though a word is never said? Then you're just like me 'n you've been 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 my dreams, I will learn and I will grow. On a trail that's waiting out there on the loose. CHORUS So in search of love & laughter, I'll be traveling cross this land Never sure of where I'm going, for I haven't any plan; So in time when you are ready, come & join me, take my hand And to-gether we'll share life out on the loose. CHORUS
OUR CABANA SONG 'Neath the grand Sierra Madre, on a plain in Mexico Lies our beautiful Cabana where Girl Scouts and Guides go. Oh, come, then, to see the mountains, The cactus (grasslands) and sunny skies; Hear the crickets in the evening & see the white moon a-rise. 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 Cabana Gives us memories life-long. When we go to our Cabana, We shall find ourselves at home; There's a greeting smile so friendly And a handshake so warm. So come, now, to our Cabana, World friendship to increase, And carry to our homeland International peace.

SCHERMAN’S SONG Where the cactus meets the mountains & the mountains touch the sky, And the sky’s the bluest blue that it can be. Where a million stars like diamonds smile on campfires burning low, And the moon’s so bright, with just its light, to guide you, you can see.
CHORUS Well the road’s a little dusty and the trees a trifle few, But the beauty’s there in the fresh clear air, And the friendships that you knew. The freedom of the forest lets your soul breathe deep and long, And a part of me will always be here, Singing Scherman’s song. (SCHERMAN’S SONG…..continued) Where the pine trees smell like butterscotch, And the thunder greets the rain, You can feel the joy of living everyday. Where the peacefulness and solitude, In the memories that you share, Give you strength to face the time When it’s goodbye we’ll have to say …CHORUS SHINAMINY (2 Part) Shinaminy dinaminy dash nee coo qwee qwio qwee qwio, Shinaminy dinaminy dash nee coo qwee qwio qwee qwio, Ohio neemo, oh shinaminy oompa, Ohio neemo, oh shinaminy oompa.

REFRAIN: There's one wide river, And that wide river is Jordan, There's one wide river, There's one wide river to cross. The animals went in one by one, There's one wide river to cross! The elephant, who weighed a ton, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN The animals went in two by two, There's one wide river to cross! The donkey and the kangaroo, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN The animals went in three by three, There's one wide river to cross! The hippo and a mouse and flea, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN The animals went in four by four, There's one wide river to cross! You should have heard the lions roar, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN The animals went in five by five, There's one wide river to cross! The bumblebee, he brought his hive, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN When Noah found he had no sail, There's one wide river to cross! He made one from his old coat tail, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN And as they talked of this and that, There's one wide river to cross! The ark it bumped on Arrarat, There's one wide river to cross! REFRAIN

Make New Friends Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver and the other 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. You help me and I'll help you, And together we will make it through. A fire burns bright, it warms the heart, We've been friends right from the very start. Friends like you are one of a kind, Very special, but hard to find. Friends are real and friends are true, If you love them they will love you too. Across the miles, across the sea Friends forever we will always be. So good friend wherever you may roam, You'll be welcome in my heart and home. Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver and the other gold.

Taps 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. While the light fades from sight, And the stars gleaming rays softly send, To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend. A-Root-Chy-Cha Hands up! (they echo & do motion) Wrists together!

Princess Pat The Princess Pat-- Lived in a tree-- She sailed across-- The seven seas-She sailed across-- The Channel Two-- And she took with her-- A rig of bamboo--

But the thing that they told us, Would have grossed out a moose, For that good tasting pink drink, Was really bug juice. It looked fresh and fruity, Like tasty Kool-Aid, But the bugs that were in it, were murdered with Raid. We drank by the gallons, We drank by the ton, But then the next morning, We all had the runs. Next time you drink bug juice, And a fly drives you mad, He's just getting even, Because you swallowed his dad. Barges Out of my window, looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light. Silently flows the river to the sea, As the barges do go silently. [CHORUS] 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. Starboards shining green and port is glowing red, I can see the barges far ahead. [CHORUS] Out of my window, looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light. Anchors start to pull and engines start to roar As the barges pull away from shore. [CHORUS] Out of my window, looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light. Stars are brightly lighting up the sky As the barges seem to skip right by.
