| Songs to be Sung around a fire |
| Hardships of Camp (tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic) The leaders they do nothing and assistants they do less. LIT's do cooking and they make an aweful mess. Camp Aides make the cocoa and they pinch the biggest cup. But all the poor old Girl Scout gets is dirty washing up. Chorus: That's the way they treat the Girl Scouts, That's the way they treat the Girl Scouts, That's the way they treat the Girl Scouts, When we're all away at camp. The leaders go by motor cars, assistants go by bus. LIT's have bicycles and never make a fuss. Camp aides they have roller skates and roll along the way. But all the poor old Girl Scouts get is marching all the way. Chorus Leaders have their bungalows, assistants they have flats. LIT's hav wooden huts and think them grand at that. Camp aides they have canvas tents with groundsheets on the floors, But all the poor old Girl Scout gets is sleeping out of doors. Chorus Leaders they drink their coffee, Assistants they drink tea. LIT's drink lots of coke, it makes them need to pee (or go). Camp aides they drink lemonade, and sip it through a straw. But all the poor old Girl Scout gets is water more and more,. Chorus Leaders go to Disney World, assistants go to France. LIT's have parties where they often get to dance. Camp aides go to movies just to see the bad guys croak. But all the poor old Girl Scout gets is the sidewalk 'cause she's broke! |
| God Bless My Underwear (tune: God Bless America) God bless my underwear, my only pair, Stand beside them and guide them, As they sit in a heap by the chair. From the washer, to the clothes line, To my camp pack and back to me, God bless my underwear, my only pair (or: or I'll be bare) |
| If it's raining If it's raining and you know it, clap your hands If it's raining and you know it, clap your hands If it's raining and you know it then your clothes will surely show it, If it's raining and you know it clap your hands. If the mud is only knee deep stomp your feet If the mud is only knee deep stomp your feet If the mud is only knee deep and you wish that it was hip deep If the mud is only knee deep stomp your feet. If the wind is really blowing shake your head If the wind is really blowing shake your head If the wind is really blowing and your permanent is going If the wind is really blowing shake your head. If the temperature is falling rub your hands If the temperature is falling rub your hands If the temperature is falling, and your spirits are appalling If the temperature is falling rub your hands. |
| Farewell (tune: Auld Lang Syne) The time has come to say farewell But we'll recall this day And friendships made or here renewed Will go with us on our way. To part does not mean to forget And we shall meet again Another time, another place To join hands friend to friend. Now here's my hand My Girl Scout friend and give your hand to me We'll make a chain of friendship true And all our hopes entwine. True Girl Scouts we will not forget You in our hearts remain Another time, another place We'll join hands once again. |

| Scout Wetspers (Tune: Oh, Tannenbaum) Softly falls the rain today As our campsite floats away Silently, each Scout should ask: Did I bring my Scuba mask? Have I tied my tent flaps down? Learned to swim so I won't drown? Have I done and will I try Everything to keep me dry? |
| I've Got a Loverly Bunch of Coconuts I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts There they are a-standing in a row; Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead Give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist, That's what the showmnan said. He said: I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts; Every ball I throw will make me rich. There stand me wife, the idol of my life, Singing, roll-a-bowl-a-ball-a-penny-a-pitch! Singing, roll-a-bowl-a-ball-a-penny-a-pitch! Signing, roll-a-bowl-a-ball-a-penny-a-pitch! |
