My body needs calamine lotion
My body's all red you can see.
The flowers I picked for my mommy,
turned out to be poison ivy!

Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch the leaves of three!

We'll sing out loud and clear

Can we start the process here?

Yes we can, yes we can!!

I'm a Happy Hiking Girl Scout

(tune of "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy")

 

I'm a happy hiking Girl Scout

The cutest Scout you'll ever see.

A real live follower of Daisy Low.

She was born o-on Ha-al-loween.

We have a World Association,

And we have a Promise tried and true.

 

I'll always be a happy Girl Scout

Just so I can sing this

Girl Scouting song for me and you.

 

Girl Scout Gang

(tune of "Grand Old Flag")

 

We're the Girl Scout Gang and together we'll be

'Til the moment of Judgement Day.

From the sunshine state, to the Golden Gate,

From Orleans to Old Broadway.

 

'Til our harps have strings and we're sprouting out wings,

May it ever be said we sang.

Above the rest, Girl Scouts are the best

Keep your eye on that Girl Scout Gang.

Waddle-ee-ocha

Waddle-ee-ocha, waddle-ee-ocha,

Doodle-ee-doo, doodle-ee-doo,

Waddle-ee-ocha, waddle-ee-ocha,

Doodle-ee-doo, doodle-ee-doo!

It's the simplest song, there ain't much to it,

All you've got to do is doodle-ee-doo it,

I like the rest but the part I like best

It goes: doodle-ee-doodle-ee-doo! Woo!

Actions: (this is hard to describe, so let me know if you're confused!)

For each pair of lines in the song, you fit the following actions:

• Slap hands on thighs twice
• Clap hands twice
• With arms in held in front of chest, shake left hand over right hand twice, then right hand over left twice
• Left hand holding your nose, right hand holding your left ear, then right hand holding your nose and left hand holding your right ear, repeat

TAPS

Day is done.  Gone the Sun;

From the Lake, From the Hills, From the Sky.

All is Well, Safely Rest, God is Nigh.

Coconut Rut

Verse 1

I'm a little Coconut,

sitting in a coconut rut.

Someone came and stepped on me,

That is why I'm cracked you see.

 

CHORUS

 

I'm a nut

In a rut

I'm CRAZY

I called myself on the telephone,

Just to see if I was home.

Asked myself out on a date,

Picked me up at half past eight.

Took myself to the movie show,

Sat myself in the very first row.

Wrapped my arms around my waist,

Got so fresh I slapped my face.

I can sing and I can dance,

I wear ruffles on my WHOOPS.

Boys take another guess,

I wear ruffles on my dress.

the other is gold.

 

A circle is round,

Girl Scout Camp

 

Girl Scout Camp

Girl Scout Camp

The Leaders that they give us

They say are mighty fine

But when they take their make-up off, they look like Frankenstein

 

Oh, I wanna 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.

 

Girl Scout Camp

Girl Scout Camp

The Gatorade they give us, they say it’s mighty fine but when you try to drink it, it takes like Turpentine.

 

Oh, I wanna 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.

 

Girl Scout Camp

Girl Scout Camp

The biscuits that they give us, they say they’re mighty fine but one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine.

 

Oh, I wanna 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.

 

I Bought Some Gum

 

My mother gave me a penny,
To go and see Jack Benny.
I didn't see Jack Benny,
Instead I bought some gum.

Chorus:
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

Do Do Do Do Do Do Do, I bought some gum.
 

My mother gave me a nickel,
To go and buy a pickle.
I didn't buy a pickle,
I bought some gum.
(Chorus)

My mother gave me a dime,
To buy a lime.
I didn't buy a lime,
I bought some gum.
(Chorus)

My mom gave me a quarter,
To pay the Porter.
I didn't pay the Porter,
I bought some gum.
(Chorus)

Kookaburra

 

Kookaburra Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree

Merry merry king of the bush is he

Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra

Gay your life must be

 

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree

Eating all the gumdrops he can see

Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra

Leave some there for me

 

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree

Counting all the monkeys he can see

Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra

That's not monkey, that's ME!!!

 

Princess Pat

 

The Princess Pat

Lived in a tree

She sailed across

The seven seas She sailed across The channel too

And took with her

A rick-a-bamboo!

 

A rick-a-bamboo

Now what is that?

It's something made

By the Princess Pat

It's red and gold

And purple too

That's why it's called

A rick-a-bamboo!

 Now Captain Jack

Had a mighty fine crew

They sailed across

The channel too

 

But their ship sank

And yours will too

If you don't take A rick-a-bamboo!

 

 A rick-a-bamboo Now what is that? It's something made 

By the Princess Pat

It's red and gold And purple too That's why it's called

A rick-a-bamboo!

 

If I Had a Hammer

If I had a hammer

I'd hammer in the morning

I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land

I'd hammer out danger,

I'd hammer out warning

I'd hammer out the love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

Change hammer to song, bell, etc.

 

Country Roads

 

Almost heaven, West Virginia,

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenadoah River.

Life is old there, older that the trees,

Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.

Chorus:

Country Roads, take me home,

To the place I belong,

West Virginia, mountain momma,

take me home, country roads.

 

All my memories gather round her,

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water,

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.

I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me,

Radio reminds me of my home far away,

And driving down the the road,

I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Down By The Bay

Thanks very much to Jane Maddin, Sheila Fowler, Jennifer Alexander, Diana Giudice, Therese Preece, Sue Wichers, and Carol Harding, who all posted verses and versions of this song to the Guiding Mailing List!

There appears to be two versions of the verse to the song:

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home

I dare not go

For if I do

My mother will say...

Have you ever seen a... (insert silly line here)

Down by the bay!

or:

Down by the sea,

Where the watermelons grow

There I would go

From way back home

But if I did

My ma would say...

Did you ever see a... (insert silly line here)

Down by the sea!

Did you ever see beans as big as submarines?

Did you ever have a time when you couldn't make a rhyme?

This doggone's song gone on too long!

 

Going to Day Camp

(to the tune of "Oh, Susanna")

Chorus:

Going to Day Camp,

So don't you cry for me.

I'll come back good and dirty,

So you'll never know it's me.

I scrubbed the night before I left,

My hair was nice and clean.

My mother was so proud of me,

But not for long you see.

While hiking out at Day Camp,

I found the perfect pet.

But I had to leave my friend behind,

Because he scared the Vet.

On Top of Spaghetti

(to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey")

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 through 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 later that summer, there sprouted a tree.

The tree was all covered with beautiful moss,

And on it grew meatballs in tomato sauce.

 

 

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

     by Woody Guthrie

This land is your land, this land is my land,

From California to the New York Island,

From the Redwood Forests to the Gulf Streamwaters;

This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,

I looked above me, there in the skyway,

I saw below me, the Golden Valley;

This land was made for you and me.

Chorus

I roamed and rambled, and followed my footsteps

Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,

And all around me this voice kept saying,

"This land was made for you and me."

Chorus

As the Sun was shining, and I was strolling

Through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,

I could feel inside me and see all around me,

This land was made for you and me.

Chorus
