Michael row your boat ashore, Hallelujah.

Sister help to trim the sails, Hallelujah.

Brother lend a helping hand, Hallelujah.



The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
For your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends,
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.



Mother - In - Law

My mother - in - law, she is dead,
Hum - de - de - de - de - de.
She got caught in a folding bed,
Hum - de - de - de - de - de.
Ever since my mother - in - law’s been dead,
People have come to me,
Wanting to buy that bed.
For they all have mother - in laws you see,
Oh, Hum - de - de - de - de - de.
Hum - de - de - de - de.
Hum - de - de - de - de - de.



Muffin Man

Oh, do you know the muffin main,
the muffin man, the muffin man?
Oh, do you know the muffin man,
who lives on Cherry Lane?

Oh, yess I know the muffin man,
the muffin man, the muffin man?
Oh, yess I know the muffin man,
who lives on Cherry Lane.

We all know the muffin man,
the muffin man, the muffin man.
We all know the muffin man,
who lives on Cherry Lane.



My Brother Bill

My brother Bill is a fireman bold
He puts out fires.
He went to a fire last night I’m told
‘Cause he puts out fires.
The fire lit some dynamite,
Which blew poor Bill right out of sight,
But where he’s gone he’ll be all right,
‘Cause he puts out fires,



My Country, 'Tis of Thee

My country 'tis of thee,
God bless America, land that I love,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring.



My Duty is to Love
CH:  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 to 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.
I've opened up my eyes to see.
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.
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,
Then we'd ever leadn in a year or so.
4.  We've made a promise to always keep.
And pray "Softly Falls" before we sleep.
We'll be Scouts toghther and when we're gone,
We'll still be truing and singing this song.



The National Anthem

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleeming,
Whose broad stripes and birhgt stars, through the perlious flight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say, does that start spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?



One Finger, One Thumb

One finger ,one thumb, one hand keep moving.
One finger ,one thumb, one hand keep moving.
One finger ,one thumb, one hand keep moving.
And we’ll all be happy again, Hey!
Well all be happy again, Hey!
One finger, one thumb, one hand, two hands keep moving. ...

One finger, one thumb, one hand, two hands, one arm keep moving. ...

One finger, one thumb, one hand, two hands, one arm, two arms keep moving. ...

One finger, one thumb, one hand, two hands, one arm, two arms, one leg keep moving. ...

One finger, one thumb, one hand, two hands, one arm, two arms, one leg , two legs keep moving. ...

One finger, one thumb, one hand, two hands, one arm, two arms, one leg , two legs, one head keep moving. ...

One finger, one thumb, one hand, two hands, one arm, two arms, one leg , two legs, one head, one body keep moving.



One Fat Hen (repeat after me)

This is a repeat after me song
Are you ready?
Al right!
Here we go!
One fat hen
And a couple of ducks
Three baby brown bears
Four rabit running hares
Five fat figgity froggies
Six simple Simon selling salt in Siam
Seven slimey sailors sippin' sleuce
Eight elongated elephants being elevated in an elevator
Nine nasty nosed nibbly "O"s nibbeling on nine nasty nosed nibbly oughts
Ten two-tone two-ton transcontinental trucks, with trailers, traveling from Talahassie Tennessee to Tyler Texas

(the challenge is for anyone to say it all in one breath...two times...three...)



One Hen (repeat after me)

This is a repeat after me song
Are you ready?
Al right!
Here we go!
One hen
Two ducks
Three squawking geese
Four limerick oysters
Five corpulent porpoises
Six pairs of Don Alverso's tweezers
Seven thousand Macedonians in full dress battle array
Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt
Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic old men on roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth
Ten Conical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who haul, stall around the corner of the quo, of the quay, of the quivey all at the same time!



One Man's Hands

One man's hands can't build a world of love,
Two men's hands can't build a world of love,
But if two and two and fifty make a million,
We'll see that day come round.
We'll see that day come round.

One man's strength can't turn the world around, ...

One man's voice can't sing in harmony, ...

One man's eyes can't see the way ahead, ...

One man's hands can't build a world of love, ...



One Tin Soldier
1.  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 be neath a stone,
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own.
CH:  Go ahead and hate your neighbor;
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the hame 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.
2.  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.
"With our brother we will share
All the secrets of the mountain,
all the riches buried there."
3.  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 side, dark and red,
Turned the stone and looked beneath in.
"Peace on earth" was all it said.



On My Honor

On my Honor, I'll do my best, to do my duty, to God.
On my honor, I'll do my best, to serve my country, as I may.
On my honor, I'll do my best, to do my Good Turn, each day.
To keep my both strengthened, and keep my mind awakened,
To follow paths of righteousness;
On my honor, I'll do my best.



Oooie - Gooie

Oooie - Gooie was a worm,
A mighty worm was he,
He climbed upon the railroad tracks,
A train he did not see ---
Oooie - Gooie was a worm (repeat)



Our Paddles Clean and Bright

This song should be accompanied by an image in your mind’s eye, and the image is this, it’s night time, there’s a full moon out, you are sitting on the bank of a wide smooth river with tall pine trees on the banks, two Indians are paddling their canoe down the river, when they are first visible far up river you can only barely hear them, and so you will sing very softly, as they go by you can hear them best, and so you will sing regular, then, as they continue down river and fade from sight, you will sing softly...

Our paddles clean and bright,
flashing like silver,
fat as the wild goose flies,
dip dip and swing and back.



Paw Paw Patch (follow along)
CH:  Picking up paw-paws; put ‘em in a basket.
Picking up paw-paws; put ‘em in a basket.
Picking up paw-paws; put ‘em in a basket.
Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.
1.  Where, oh where, oh where is Suzie?
Where, oh where, oh where is Suzie?
Where, oh where, oh where is Suzie?
Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.
2.  Come on, boys, let’s go find her. ...
3.  She’s the queen of old Hawaii. ...
4.  She can teach you how to hula. ...
5.  Oh boy, she is ugly. ...
6.  We got married, had ten children. ...
7.  Five were ugly, five could hula. ...



Peanut Butter and Jelly
CH:  Peanut, peanut butter, jelly
Peanut, peanut butter, jelly
1.  First you take the bread and you kneed it, you kneed it,
you kneed it, kneed it, kneed it;
Then you bake it, you bake it,
you bake it, bake it, bake it;
Then you slice it, you slice it,
you slice it, slice it, slice it.
2.  Then you take the peanuts and you dig ‘em, you dig ‘em,
you dig ‘em, dig ‘em, dig ‘em;
Then you smash ‘em, you smach ‘em,
you smach ‘em, smash ‘em, smash ‘em!
Then you spread ‘em, you sprean ‘em,
you spread ‘em, spread ‘em, spread ‘em.
3.  Then you take the grapes and you pick ‘em, you pick ‘em,
you dig ‘em, dig ‘em, dig ‘em;
Then you smash ‘em, you smash ‘em,
you smash ‘em, smash ‘em, smash ‘em!
Then you spread ‘em, you spread ‘em,
you spread ‘em, spread ‘em, spread ‘em.
4.  Then you take them both and you eat ‘em, you eat ‘em,
you eat ‘em, eat ‘em, eat ‘em.
CH:  Mm, mm; mm mm mm mm; MM!



Pico Blanco

- David Doyle

Not too long ago
I traveled to a land
A place where redwoods stand
A place where boys can grow.

They called it pico
Pico Blanco
That's where I want to go
That's where I am.

It's where I learned about life
And how people can make things right
Where I learned about love
I learnrd about God above.

Now I call her Pico
Pico Blanco
That's where I want to go
That's where I am

Pico
Pico Blance
She is my home
She is my friend

But now it's time to go
It's time to roll up the show
To drive that dusty old road
And head home.

I'll remember Pico
Pico Blanco
That's where I'll want to go
That's where I've been

Pico
Pico Blance
She is my home
Away from home
She's a lady.



Pico Blanco Hymn

Here among the trees majestic,
Pleasures you wil find.
On the trails of Pico Blance,
With your friends and mine.

Trail the eagle, ever onwanr;
This shall be our cry,
Be Prepared, this our motto,
Serving all mankind.



Pico's Burning (round)

Pico's burning, Pico's burning,
Look a-yonder, look a-yonder,
Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire,
And we have no water.



Pink Pajamas
1.  I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it’s hot
I wear my flannel nighties in the summer when it’s not.
And sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall
I jump between the sheets with nothing on at all! (Woo!)
CH:  Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, glory, what’s it to ya’.
Balmy breezes blowing through ya’,
With nothing on at all
2.  I wake up in the morning with sheets upon my head,
My little tootsie wootsies are a hangin’ out of bed,
Three times out of four times, I am lying on the floor.
I ain’t gonna drint that milk no more!



The "Polar Bear Song" - see Super Lizard

The Quartermaster's Store
CH:  My eyes are dim, I cannot see.
I have not brought my specs with me
I have not brought my specs with me

Queen’s Navy

I don’t want to march in the infantry,
Ride in the calvary, shoot the artillery.
I don’t want to fly over Germany,
I’m in the Queen’s Navy!
I’m in the Queen’s Navy!
I’m in the Queen’s Navy!
I don’t want to march in the infantry
Ride in the calvary, shoot the artillery.
I don’t want to fly over Germany,
I’m in the Queen’s Navy!



Robert Baden Powell
(Father Abraham)

Robert Baden Powell, had many scouts,
Many Scouts had Robert Baden Powell.
I am one of them, and so are you.
Let me show you what to do:

(Right hand, left hand, right leg, left leg,
turn around, node your head, stop)



Scout vespers

Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away.
Silently each scout should ask:
"Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor birght?
Can I guitless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
Everything to be prepared?"

Listen Lord, O listen Lord,
As I whisper soft and low.
Bless my mom and bless my dad,
There is something they ought to know.
I will keep my honor birhgt,
The oath and law will be my guide.
Mom and dad this you should know,
Deep in my heart I love you so.



Scouting Spirit.
1.  I've got that Scouting Spirit, up in my head, 
Up in my head, Up in my head,
I've got that Scouting Spirit, up in my head, 
Up in my head to stay!
2.  Deep in my heart ...
3.  Down in my feet ...
4.  All over me ...



Shoe Fly Pie

Shoe fly pie and apple pan-doudy
Makes your eyes light up and your stomach say howdy.
Shoe fly pie and apple pan-doudy,
I never get enough of that wonderful stuff.

Mama, won’t you bake ...
Mama, for my sake ...
Go to the oven and get some ever lovin’

Shoe fly pie and apple pan-doudy...



Sippin’ Cider

The prettiest Girl
I ever saw
Was sippin’ ci-
der, through a straw.

I says to her
What you doing fer?
A sippin’ ci-
der, through a straw.

She says to me
"Why don’t you know?
That sippin’ ci-
der’s, all I know.

Now cheek to cheek,
And jaw to jaw,
we’d both sip ci-
der, through a straw.

Now once or twice,
that straw did slip,
And we’d sip ci-
der, lip to lip.

That’s how I got,
My mother in law,
For sippin’ ci-
der, through a straw.

Now twenty two kids,
All call me "Pa,"
For sippin’ ci-
der, through a straw.

(sing only one ending)

The moral of
this little tale,
Is sip your ci-
der, from a pail.

The moral of
this little tale,
Is don’t sip ci-
der, sip Ginger Ale.

The moral of
this little tale,
Is don’t sip ci-
der, sip Coke!

The moral of
this little rhyme,
Is don’t sip ci-
der, sip lemon-lime.

The moral of
this little fib,
Is don’t sip ci-
der, drink Mr. Pibb.



Super Lizard (the "Polar Bear Song")
Assume the position! (hands together, over head, ready to dive)
Super lizard, super lizard (bend at knees)

With his fins, with his fins (flip hands at waist, altenating)

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.

Fades the light, Falls the night,
O'er the vale, O'er the hill,
O'er the sky;
From afar, Shines a star;
Falls the night.

Dear one, rest! In the West,
Sable night, Lulls the day;
On her breats.
Sweet, goodnight! Ah, so soon!
Peaceful dreams.

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.

Thanks and praise, for our day,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars,
'Neath the sky.
As we go, this we know,
God is nigh.

Starry bright, Be you flight,
To the goal, Of the soul,
Shining white;
God is near, Have no fear,
In His light.

Sleep and dream, Every beam,
God keep watch o'er all
Thru the night
We shall meet with the morn',
So good night.



Teddy Bear

Oh Teddy Bear, oh Teddy Bear,
What do you do all day?
I just sit here in my little chair
And wait for ________ to play.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly,
Well, I don’t know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and giggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don’t know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a bird.
Now ain’t that absurd? She swallowed a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and giggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don’t know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a cat
Just think of that, she swallowed a cat.
She swallowed a cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and giggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don’t know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.

I know an old aldy who swallowed a dog
Boy what a hog! She swallowed a dog.

They Say at Good Old Pico
CH:  Oh I don’t want no more of Boy Scout Camp;
Hey Mom, I want to go, but they won’t let me go;
Hey Mom, I want to go home!
They say at good old Pico:
1.  The staff is mighty fine.
They rule like Adpof Hiter,
And look like Frankenstein.
2.  The biskets are mighty fine.
One rolled off the table,
And killed a firent of mine.
3.  The chicken is mighty fine.
One jumped off the table,
And started marking time.
4.  The coffee is mighty fine.
It looks like muddy water,
And tastes like turpentine.
5.  The campers are are mighty fine.
They all have runny noese,
And never are on time.
6.  The Scoutmasters are mighty fine.
Their bellies are getting bigger,
And so are their behinds.
7.  The girls are mighty fine,
They're either under seven,
Or over ninety nine.
8.  The aquatics staff is mighty fine,
They all went down at seven,
And won't be up 'til nine.
9.  The water is mighty fine,
It's full of grogs and fishes,
And freezing all the time.
10.  The food is mighty fine,
You eat it up at seven,
And barf it up at nine.
11.  The beds are mighty fine.
The springs, they pop out,
and wiggle up your spine.
12.  The counselors are mighty fine.
But how the heck should I know,
I never do see mine.
13.  The doctor is mighty fine,
My friend, he got a splinter,
His funeral is at nine.
14.  The showers are mighty fine,
I share them with the spiders,
But they don't seem to mind.
15.  The toilets are mighty fine.
I dropped my flashlight down one,
It still is shining fine.
16.  The cake is really great.
The stuff I'm eating now,
Is still sticking to my plate.
17.  The mosquitoes are really fine.
They're as big as helicopters,
And biting all the time.
18.  The snakes are kind of nice.
Whenever they get hungry,
They eat up all the mice.
19.  The Whammy is too much
But let me just remind you,
He is not a Klutz.
(the Whammy is the "resident" magician)



This Land is Your Land
CH:  This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the Nyw Your island,
From the redwood forest, to the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for your and me.
1.  As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway,
I saw below me that golden valley,
This land was made for you and me.
2.  I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsetps,
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,
All around me a voice was sounding,
This land was made for you and me.
3.  When he sun came shining, then I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting,
This land was made for you and me.
4.  I followed your low hills, and I followed your cliff rims,
Your marble canyons and sunny bright waters,
This voice came calling as the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me.
5.  Nobody living, can ever stop me,
As I go walking down freedom's highway,
Nobody living can make me turn back.
This land was made for you and me.
6.  As I went walking, I saw a sign there,
And on that sign it said "no trespassing"
But on the other side, it didn't say nothing,
This side was made for you and me.



Thousand Legged Worm
(tune: Polly Wolly Doodle)

Said the thousand legged worm, as he began to squirm,
"Has anybody seen a leg of mine?
If it can’t be found then I’ll have to hop around,
on the other nine hundred, ninety-nine."

Hop around, hop around,
On the other nine hundred ninety nine,
If it can’t be found then I’ll have to hop around,
On the other nine hundred, ninety-nine.

(then redo for nine hundred, ninety-eight,... until time is up...)

Doodle-ee-do, Doodle-ee-do,
Waddle-ee-atch-a, waddle-ee-atch-a
Doodle-ee-do, Doodle-ee-do,
Simplest song, there’s nothin’ much to it,
All you’ve got to do is doodle-ee-do it
I like the rest, but the part I like best goes,
Doodle-ee-doodle-ee-do, toot toot.

When I first Came to this Wondrous Land
1.  When I first came to this wondrous land,
I was not a wealthy man,
So I got myself a farm,
And I called it muscle in my arm,
And I called my farm, muscle in my arm.
CH:  And the land was sweet and good,
And I did what I could.
2.  When I first came to this wondrous land,
I was not a wealthy man,
So I got myself a chack,
And I called it breaking my back,
And I called my shack, breaking my back.
And I called my farm muscle in my arm.
3.  Wife - love of my life.
4.  Cow - no milk now.



Where Have all the Flowers Gone?
1.  Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls picked them, everyone.
CH:  When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
2.  Where have all the young girls gone? ... 
Gone to young men, everyone.
3.  Where have all the young men gone? ...
Gone to soldiers, everyone.
4.  Where have all the soldiers gone? ...
Gone to graveyards, everyone.

Gone to flowers, everyone.
6.  Where have all the flowers gone? ...
Young girls picked them, everyone.



Won't You Come With Me
1.  Won't you come with me, to my Father's house;
To my Father's house, to my Father's house.
Won't you come with me, to my Father's house.
There is peace, peach, peace.
2.  There's sweet contentment there, in my Father's house, ...
3.  There'll be no parting there, in my Father's house, ... 



Yankee Doodle
CH:  Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
1.  Fath'r and I went to camp,
Along with Captain Goodwin.
And there we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty puddin'.
2.  And there we saw a thousand,
As rich as Squire David.
And what they wasted every day,
I wish it could be saved.
3.  And there was Captain Washington,
Up on a slapping stallion,
A giving orders to his men,
I guess there was a million.
4.  And then the feathers on his hat,
They looked so very fine, ah!
I wanted peskily to get,
To give to my Jemimah.
Yankee Doodle went to town,
Ah ridding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his hat,
And called it macaronie.

See him there, the Zulu chief, chief, chief ...
