Ain't No Bugs on Me
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Oh, there ain't no bugs on me, on me. There ain't no bugs on me There may be bugs on some of you mugs But there ain't no bugs on me. Oh there ain't no flies on me, on me. There ain't no flies on me. There may be flies on some of you guys But there ain't no flies on me. Well, the Juney bug comes in the month of June The lightning bug comes in May Bed bug comes just any old time But, they're not going to stay Well, a bull frog sittin' on a lily pad Looking up at the sky The lily pad broke and the frog fell in He got water all in his eye. There ain't no frogs on us. There ain't no frogs on us. There might be frogs on some of you dogs, But there ain't no frogs on us. Mosquito he fly high Mosquito he fly low If old mosquito lands on me He ain't a gonna fly no mo' A peanut sittin' on a railroad track His heart was all a flutter Along come a choo-choo on the track Toot! Toot! Peanut butter! A cow walked on the railroad track, the train was coming fast. The train got off the railroad track to let the cow go past! As I went walking through the woods Humming a tune so gaily The wind come whistling through the trees And froze my ukelele Oh there ain't no lobsters on me There, ain't no lobsters on me There may be lobsters On some of you mobsters But there ain't no lobsters on me. Oh it ain't gonna rain no more no more It ain't gonna rain no more How in the heck can I wash my neck When it ain't gonna rain no more? Well little bugs have littler bugs. Up on their backs to bite'em And the littler bugs have still littler bugs And so ad infinitum. We had a cat down on our farm It had a ball of yarn When those little cats were born They all had sweaters on She lay down by the sewer And by the sewer she died And at the coroner's inquest They called it sewer side We had a goat down on our farm It ate up old tin cans When those little goats were born They came in Ford sedans Some people say that fleas are black But I know that ain't so 'Cause Marry had a little lamb Whose fleece was white as snow Mary had a little lamb, so goes the tale of yore. She loved that little lamb so much, she passed the plate for more. I woke up in the morning, I glanced upon the wall. The roaches and the bedbugs were having a game of ball. The score was six to nothing, the roaches were ahead. A bedbug hit a home run and knocked me out of bed! The chamber maid came to my bed Get up you lazy sinner We need the sheets for table cloths And it's almost time for dinner Jack and Jill went up the hill To try out Jack's new flivver The car broke down a mile from town And dumped them in the river. A doctor fell into a well and broke his collar bone. We think that he should tend the sick and leave the well alone. A farmer slipped on the old barn roof when rotten boards gave way, And as as he fell, he shrugged and said, 'It's time to hit the hay.' Humpty Dumpty fell right down and landed on his head, So, all the horses and the men had scrambled eggs and bread.

All God's Critters
Intended for:	Cub Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Chorus: All God's critters got a place in the choir Some sing lower and some sing higher Some sing out loud on the telephone wire And some just clap their hands or paws, Or anything they got now. Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus Moans and groans with a big t'do And the old cow just goes moo. The dogs and the cats they take up the middle While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles, The donkey brays and the pony neighs And the old coyote howls. Chorus Listen to the top where the little birds sing On the melodies with the high notes ringing, The hoot owl hollers over everything And the jaybird disagrees. Singin' in the night time, singing in the day, The little duck quacks, then he's on his way. The 'possum ain't got much to say And the porcupine talks to himself. Chorus It's a simple song of living sung everywhere By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear, The grumpy alligator the the hawk above, The sly raccoon and the turtle dove. Chorus

Lyrics:	Baby beluga in the deep blue sea, Swim so wild and you swim so free. Heaven above and the sea below, Just a little white whale on the go. Baby beluga, baby beluga, is the water warm? Is your mother home with you, so happy. Way down yonder where the dolphins play, Where they dive and splash all day, The waves roll in and the waves roll out, See the water squirting out of your spout. Baby beluga, baby beluga, sing your little song, Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you. When it's late and you're home and fed, Curled up snug in your waterbed. Stars are shining and the moon is bright, Good night, little whale, goodnight. Baby beluga, baby beluga, with tomorrow's sun, Another day has come, you'll soon be waking. Baby beluga, baby beluga, is the water warm? Is your mother home with you, so happy.

Battle Hymn of the Republic
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. Chorus: Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on In the beauty of a stable Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His presence that transfigures you and me, And he died to make men holy, Let us live to make men free; While God is marching on. Chorus Chicken Sandwich I walk into a restaurant And this 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.' 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 that won't vanish like a bubble, If you 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 It isn't any trouble just to HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! I went fishing at the lake With worms and pole and pail, To catch a fish for supper, But instead I caught a whale. I climbed upon his slippery back, And took myself a ride, But he swam so fast I slipped right off, And landed right inside. Glory, glory hallelujah, That's a tall tale I told to ya, Shakes and shivers running through ya, (Spoken) Here comes another one, worse than the other one. An astronaut invited me To take a ride in space. We blasted off one morning, For a most unusual place. We landed on a planet, After many weeks of flight; We saw three-headed elephants, A most unusual sight. Glory, glory hallelujah That's a tall tale I told to ya. Do you believe that it is true, ya? (Spoken) Well it's not! I dug a hole to plant a tree One warm and sunny day. I dug so deep I couldn't get out To run and jump and play. I thought to keep on digging Was the best thing I could do. So I made a hole clean through the earth, And then I fell right through. Glory, glory hallelujah That's the last tale I'll tell to ya, Aren't you glad that I am through, ya? (Spoken) Thank goodness!!

Battle Hymn Scouting Verses
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	The Weekend I have seen the sky in darkness, I have seen it in the sun, I have felt the rain upon me, I've enjoyed the snowy fun. When the weather isn't cloudy or the wind it doesn't blow. It isn't only raining, it's the weekend too, you know. Glory, glory, it's the weekend! Glory, glory, it's the weekend! I can tell because it's raining and it's 42 below, As we Scouts go marching on. Ode to a Den Leader After raising six sweet daughters, I was glad to have a son. I thought of all the games we'd play, the picnics, hikes and fun. I thought of how we'd sit and talk for hours when day is done. Oh, wasn't I the foolish one. Chorus: Glory, glory, I'm a leader. How'd I get to be a leader? All I ever wanted was to have a little fun Cub Scouting with my son. I tried to make excuses and their pleas to ignore. I said, 'I'm not equipped!' they said, 'Oh, yes you are, what more, We will train you in the basics and outfit you for the corps.' And they shoved me out the door. Chorus They taught me how to sing a song and how to tie a knot. They taught me how to do a skit, make puppets on the spot. They taught me all I'd need to know, at least that's what I thought. 'Til a Cub came in with a snake that he'd caught! Chorus The time arrived for hiking, just my Webelos den and me. They say the woods are full of many sights for you to see. I know we sure were sights when we were found, eventually. And I do this all for free. Chorus But even though I mumble and I grumble and I pout And many times I wonder what's the best way to get out. When all is said and done there really isn't any doubt. I'm glad to be a scout! Glory, glory, I'm a leader! I'm so glad to be a leader! When all is said and done and then they lay me to my rest, They'll say I did my best!

Be a Good Scout
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	Deanna Durbin sang this in the 1938 movie "That Certain Age".
Lyrics:	Be a good Scout, and always wear a smile, Be a good Scout, be cheerful all the while, It's the creed, yes indeed, that a Scout must practice gaily. Help those in need - do a Good Turn daily, Be a good Scout - be Loyal, Clean and Brave, Never say die, just let your banner wave, On your honor, do your best When they put you to the test. And always be a good scout.

Be Kind to Your Webfooted Friends
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Be kind to your web-footed friends For that duck may be somebody's mother, She lives in a nest in a swamp Where the weather is always damp. You may think that this is the end, Well it is, but to prove we're all liars, We're going to sing it again, Only this time we'll sing a little higher. [Repeat the song but sing it a bit higher. Continue for as many rounds as you can stand.] Finally, end with: You may think that this is the end.... Well you're right! Be kind to your old umbrella, For some day it may be under the weather. Be kind to your old pair of shoes, And they'll keep out the rain and mud. Be kind to your fur-bearing friends, For a skunk may be somebody's brother. Be kind to your friends with the stripes Including raccoons and snipes.

Bill Grogan's Goat A Favorite Song
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune: Leader sings and then everyone repeats at each (*)
Lyrics:	Bill Grogan's goat,* was feeling fine.* Ate three red shirts,* right off the line.* Bill took a stick,* gave him three whacks,* And tied him to,* the railroad tracks.* The whistle blew,* the train grew nigh;* Bill Grogan's goat,* was doomed to die.* He gave three moans,* of mortal pain,* Barfed up those shirts,* and flagged that train.* The Engineer,* got out to see,* What in the world,* this thing could be.* And when he saw,* It was a goat,* Pulled out his knife,* and cut it's throat.* Now Billy Goat* is really dead,* He went to heaven,* without a head.* And when he got there,* St. Peter said,* 'Dear Billy Goat,* where is your head?'* I do not know,* I can not tell,* For all I know,* It just may be ...* Way down yonder in the paw paw patch.* (can migrate right into the Paw Paw Patch song)

Billboard
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Lyrics:	Version 1 As I was walking down the street a billboard caught my eye. The advertising that was there would make you laugh or cry. The wind and rain had almost washed that old billboard away. But the advertising painted there would have that billboard say: Have a smoke of Coca-Cola. Chew catsup cigarette's. Watch Lillian Russell wrestle with a box of oysterettes. Pork and beans will meet tonight in a finish fight. Hear Chauncey DePeeuw speak upon sapolio tonight. Bay rum is good for horses; it is the best in town. Castoria cures the measles, if you pay ten dollars down. Teeth extracted without pain, a nickel or half a dime. Ingersolls are selling now, a little behind the times. Chew Wrigleys for that headache. Eat Campbells for that cough. There's going to be a swimming bee at the village watering trough. Buy a case of ginger-ale, it makes the best of broth. Shinola's good to curl the hair, it will not rub it off! Version 2 As I was walking down the street one dark and gloomy day I came upon a billboard and much to my dismay The sign was torn and tattered from the storm the night before The wind and rain had done it's work and this is what I saw: Smoke Coca-Cola cigarettes, chew Wrigley's Spearmint beer, Ken-L Ration Dog Food keeps your wife's complexion clear Simonize your baby with a Hershey's candy bar And Texaco's the beauty cream that's used by all the stars. So take your next vacation in a brand new Frigidaire Learn to play the piano in your winter underwear Doctors say that babies should smoke until they're three And people over 65 should bathe in Lipton Tea.

Bug Juice
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune: (On Top of Old Smokey)
Lyrics:	Last summer at scout camp, they gave us a drink. We thought it was kool-aid because it was pink. But the thing that they gave us would gross out a moose, for that great-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 it by gallons. We drank it by tons. But, then the next morning we all had the runs. So if you drink bug juice and a fly drives you mad he's just getting even because you swallowed his dad.

Camp
Intended for:	All Scouts
Lyrics:	The busses that you ride in, they say are mighty fine. But when they turn a corner, they leave the wheels behind. Chorus: Hey, Ma, I wanna go But, they won't let me go Hey, Ma, I wanna go home! The leaders that they have here, they say are mighty fine. But when you get up closer, they look like Frankenstein. 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 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 pal of mine. The spaghetti that they serve you, they say is mighty fine. They rinse it the toilet and drain it on the line. 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 yet. Campfires that they have here they say are mighty bright. You wake up in the morning and there's not a tree in sight. The nurses that they have here they say are mighty fine. But if you break a finger they break the other nine. The girls that they have here they say are mighty fine. But they're either under seven or over ninety-nine.

Camp Granada

Notes:	The Tune: view video
Lyrics:	Hello muddah, hello faddah Here I am at Camp Granada Camp is very entertaining And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining. I went hiking with Joe Spivy. He developed poison ivy. You remember Leonard Skinner He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner. All the counselors hate the waiters And the lake has alligators And the head coach wants no sissies So he reads to us from something called Ulysses. Now I don't want this should scare ya But my bunkmate has malaria. You remember Jeffrey Hardy They're about to organize a searching party. Take me home, oh muddah, fadduh Take me home, I hate Granada! Don't leave me out in the forest Where I might get eaten by a bear. Take me home, I promise I will not make noise, Or mes the house with other boys. Oh, please don't make me stay, I've been here one whole day. Dearest fadduh, darling muddah, How's my precious little bruddah? Let me come home, if you miss me I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me. Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing. Guys are swimming, guys are sailing Playing baseball, gee that's bettah Muddah, faddah kindly disregard this letter! Follow On version Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh. I am back at Camp Granada. And I'm writing you this letter Just to say my compound fracture's getting better. No one here knows where my trunk is And my bunk is where the skunk is. And this year the food's improving 'Cause the little black things in it are not moving. Our camp nurse is quite a swimmer. She says swimming makes you slimmer. Her name's Mrs. Pellagrini. Have you ever seen a whale in a bikini? All our bathrooms have such thin doors. Gee, I wish they'd move them indoors. We're all tired of Mother Goose here. So next Friday night they're having Lenny Bruce here. Let me stay, oh Muddah, Fadduh. Let me stay, I love Granada. Every night the camp fire's really keen. Oh mom, please send some unguentine. Let me stay, out here in mother nature's land And tip-toe through the tulips grand. To leave would be a shame. Besides, I'd miss the poker game. Please don't worry, Fadduh, Muddah. I'll take care of little brudda. He plays ball here and he rows here And I hope they teach him how to blow his nose here. He wakes up at half past six and Goes directly to the quick sand. He was lonely, now he's better. He's like all of us except his bed is wetter.

Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips

Notes:	The Tune: view video
Lyrics:	Oh, when I was a camper, I never liked to eat; the cook put things upon my plate, I'd dump them on his feet; but then one day he made this soup, I ate it all in bed; I asked him what he put in it, and this is what he said. Chorus: Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes; monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs; rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies; stir them all together, it's called Sludge Soup Surprise. I went into the bathroom and stood beside the sink; I said I'm feeling slightly ill, I think I'd like a drink; The cook he said, "I've just the thing, I'll get it in a wink; it's full of lots of protein, and vitamins I think." - Chorus

Chivalrous Shark
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune: view video
Lyrics:	Most chivalrous fish of the ocean To ladies forbearing and mild, Though his record be dark, is the man-eating shark, Who will eat neither woman nor child. He dines upon seamen and skippers, And tourists his hunger assuage, And a fresh cabin boy will inspire him with joy If he's past the maturity age. A doctor, a lawyer, a preacher, He'll gobble one any fine day, But the ladies, God bless 'em He'll only address 'em Politely and go on his way. I can readily cite you an instance Where a lovely young lady of Breem, Who was tender and sweet and delicious to eat Fell into the bay with a scream. She struggled and flounced in the water, And signaled in vain for her bar, And she'd surely been drowned if she hadn't been found By a chivalrous man-eating shark. He bowed in a manner most polished Thus soothing her impulses wild. "Don't be frightened," he said, "I've been properly bred, And will eat neither woman nor child." Then her proffered his fin and she took it Such gallantry none can dispute. While the passengers cheered as the vessel they neared And a broadside was fired in salute. And they soon stood alongside the vessel, When a life-saving dinghy was lowered With the pick of the crew, And her relatives too And the mate and the skipper aboard. So they took her aboard in a jiffy, And the shark stood attention the while, Then he raised on his flipper and ate up the skipper And went on his way with a smile. And this shows that the prince of the ocean, To ladies forbearing and mild, Though his record be dark Is the man-eating shark, Who will eat neither woman nor child.

Clementine
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine, Lived a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine. Chorus: 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 does entwine, There grow roses and other posies, fertilized 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 does 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 you Scouts all heed my warning in this tragic tale of mine, Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation would have saved my Clementine.

Coming of the Frogs

Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Mine eyes have seen the horror of the coming of the frogs. They are sneaking thru the swamps and they are lurking in the logs. You can hear their mournful croaking through the early morning fog. The frogs keep hopping on. Chorus: Ribbet, ribbet, ribbet, croak, croak. Ribbet, ribbet, ribbet, croak, croak. Ribbet, ribbet, ribbet, croak, croak. The frogs keep hopping on. The frogs have grown in numbers and their croaking fills the air. There's no place to escape because the frogs are everywhere. They've eaten all the flies and now they're hungry as a bear. The frogs keep hopping on. (Chorus) They've hopped into the living room and headed down the hall. They've have trapped me in the corner and my back's against the wall. And when I opened up my mouth to give a warning call, This was all I heard. (Chorus)

Lyrics:	(audience repeats after leader) There was a crazy moose (there was a crazy moose) Who liked to drink a lot of juice (who liked to drink a lot of juice) There was a crazy moose (there was a crazy moose) Who liked to drink a lot of juice (who liked to drink a lot of juice) Chorus Singing way-oh, way oh (singing way-oh, way-oh) Way-up, way-up, way-up way-up (way-up, way-up, way-up, way-up) Way oh, way oh (way oh, way oh) Way-up, way-up, way-up, way-up (way-up, way-up, way-up way-up) The moose's name was Fred. He liked to drink his juice in bed. He drank his juice with care, But he spilled some in his hair. Now he's a sticky moose. A moose covered in juice. All his hair went stiff. So he combed it in a quiff. His friends began to laugh. So he had to take a bath. As the water went down, Fred the moose began to drown. Singing glug-glug-glug-glug Now let's all count to five. Fred the moose is back alive.

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan To the heel of his rawhide shoe; The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man The frontier ever knew! Daniel Boone was a man, Yes, a big man! And he fought for America To make all Americans free! What a boon, what a do-er, What a dream come-a true-er was he! Daniel Boone was a man, Yes, a big man! With a whoop and a holler He could mow down a forest of trees. With a knife and a gun he never did fail There was nothin' he could not tame. He blazed a big wide liberty trail Through history's hall of fame. Daniel Boone was a man, Yes, a big man! With a dream of a country That would always forever be free. What a boon, what a do-er, What a dream come-a true-er was he!

Davy Crockett
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Born on a mountain top in Tennessee Greenest state in the Land of the Free Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three. Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier! In eighteen thirteen the Creeks uprose Addin' redskin arrows to the country's woes Now, Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows So he shoulders his rifle an' off he goes. Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who don't know fear! Off through the woods he's a marchin' along Makin' up yarns an' a singin' a song Itchin' for fightin' and rightin' a wrong He's ringy as a b'ar and twice as strong. Davy, Davy Crockett, The buckskin buccaneer! Andy Jackson is our general's name His reg'lar soldiers we'll put to shame Them redskin varmints us volunteers'll tame 'Cause we got the guns with the sure-fire aim. Davy, Davy Crockett, The champion of us all! Headed back to war from the ol' home place But Red Stick was leadin' a merry chase Fightin' and burnin' at a devil's pace South to the swamps on the Florida Trace. Davy, Davy Crockett, Trackin' the redskins down! Fought single-handed through the Injun War Till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store And while he was handlin' this risky chore Made hisself a legend for evermore. Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier! He give his word and he give his hand That his Injun friends could keep their land And the rest of his life he took the stand That justice was due every redskin band. Davy, Davy Crockett, Holdin' his promise dear! Home fer the winter with his family, Happy as squirrels in the ol' gum tree, Bein' the father he wanted to be, Close to his boys as the pod and the pea. Davy, Davy Crockett, Holdin' his young 'uns dear! But the ice went out and the warm winds came And the meltin' snow showed tracks of game And the flowers of Spring filled the woods with flame And all of a sudden life got too tame. Davy, Davy Crockett, Headin' on West again! Off through the woods we're ridin' along Makin' up yarns and singin' a song He's ringy as a b'ar and twice as strong And knows he's right 'cause he ain't often wrong. Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who don't know fear! Lookin' fer a place where the air smells clean Where the trees is tall and the grass is green Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream And the teamin' woods is a hunter's dream. Davy, Davy Crockett, Lookin' fer Paradise! Now he'd lost his love an his grief was gall In his heart he wanted to leave it all And lose himself in the forests tall But he answered instead his country's call. Davy, Davy Crockett, Beginnin' his campaign! Needin' his help they didn't vote blind They put in Davy 'cause he was their kind Sent up to Nashville the best they could find A fightin' Spirit and a thinkin' mind. Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who don't know fear! The votes were counted and he won hands down So they sent him off to Washin'ton town With his best dress suit still his buckskins brown A livin' legend of growin' reknown. Davy, Davy Crockett, The Canebrake Congressman! He went off to Congress and served a spell Fixin' up the Gover'ment and laws as well Took over Washin'ton so we heared tell And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell. Davy, Davy Crockett, Seein' his duty clear! Him and his jokes travelled all through the land And his speeches made him friends to beat the band His politickin' was their favorite brand And everyone wanted to shake his hand. Davy, Davy Crockett, Helpin' his legend grow! He knew when he spoke he sounded the knell Of his hopes for White House and fame as well But he spoke out strong so hist'ry books tell And patched up the crack In the liberty Bell. Davy, Davy Crockett, Seein' his duty clear! When he come home his politickin' done The western march had just begun So he packed his gear and his trusty gun And lit out grinnin' to follow the sun. Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin' the pioneer! He heard of Houston and Austin and so To the Texas plains he jest had to go Where freedom was fightin' another foe And they needed him at the Alamo. Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who don't know fear! His land is biggest and his land is best From grassy plains to the mountain crest He's ahead of us all meetin' the test Followin' his legend into the West. Davy Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier!

Deep in the Heart of Cub Scouts

Notes:	The Tune: Deep in the Heart of Texas
Lyrics:	Where Tigers growl, And Wolf cubs howl, Deep in the heart of Cub Scouts. Where big Bears tramp, And Webelos camp, Deep in the heart of Cub Scouts. Where Den Leaders walk, And Cubmasters talk, Deep in the heart of Cub Scouts. The Blue and Gold, Stands big and bold, Deep in the heart of Cub Scouts. The stars at night, are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas. The prairie sky is wide and high, deep in the heart of Texas. The sage in bloom is like perfume, deep in the heart of Texas. Reminds me of, the one I love, deep in the heart of Texas. The coyotes wail, along the trail, deep in the heart of Texas. The rabbits rush, around the brush, deep in the heart of Texas. The cowboys cry, "Ki-yip-pee-yi," deep in the heart of Texas. The dogies bawl, and bawl and bawl, deep in the heart of Texas.

Do Your Ears Hang Low
Intended for:	Cub Scouts
Notes:	The Tune: view video
Lyrics:	Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier? Do your ears hang low? Do your ears hang high? Do they reach up to the sky? Do they droop when they're wet? Do they stiffen when they're dry? Can you semaphore your neighbor with a mimimum of labor? Do your ears hang high? Do your ears hang wide? Do they flap from side to side? Do they wave in the breeze? From the slightest little sneeze? Can you soar above the nation with a feeling of elation? Do your ears hang wide? Do your ears flip-flop? Can you use them for a mop? Are they stringy at the bottom? Are they curly at the top? Can you use them for a swatter? Can you use them for a blotter? Do your ears flip-flop? Do your ears hang askew? Can you use one stirring stew, while the other's picking berries, or making mountain dew? Can you hold an elevator, while you signal to a waiter? Do your ears hang askew? Do your ears fall off? When you give a great big cough? Do they lie there on the ground? Or bounce up at every sound? Can you stick them in your pocket like little Davy Crockett? Do your ears fall off? Do your eyeballs droop? Do they wobble in your soup? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a loop? Can you throw them o'er your shoulder, Like a continental soldier? Do your eyeballs droop? Does your nose hang down? Does it drag upon the ground? Can you tie it in a knot? Can you tie it in a crown? Can you throw it over your shoulder, Like a continental soldier? Does your nose hang down? Do your eyes bug out? Do they roll around your snout? Do you go cross-eyed, When you're looking for a trout? Can you see your image clearer, Without looking in the mirror? Do your eyes bug out?

Lyrics:	I have a dear old daddy For whom I nightly pray, He has a set of whiskers, They're always in the way. Chorus: They're always in the way, The cows eat them for hay, They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt, They're always in the way. Around the supper table, We make a happy group, Until dear father's whiskers, Get tangled in the soup. Chorus Father had a strong back, But now it's all caved in, He stepped upon his whiskers, And walked up to his chin. Chorus We have a dear old mother, With him at night she sleeps, She wakes up in the morning, Eating shredded wheat. Chorus We have a dear old Mommy, She likes his whiskers, too. She uses them for cleaning And stirring up a stew. Chorus We have a dear old brother Who has a Ford machine. He uses Daddy's whiskers To strain the gasoline. Chorus We have a dear old sister. It really is a laugh. She sprinkles Daddy's whiskers As bath salts in her bath. Chorus We have a little brother, His name is Sonny Jim. He climbs up daddy's whiskers To sock him in the chin Chorus We have a little sister, Her name is Mary Anne. She uses daddy's whiskers To wipe the frying pan. Chorus We have another sister, Her name is Ida Mae. She climbs up Daddy's whiskers And braids them every day. Chorus Daddy fought in Flanders, He wasn't killed, you see: His whiskers looked like bushes And fooled the enemy. Chorus When Daddy goes in swimming, No bathing suit for him. He ties his whiskers 'round his waist And happily jumps in. Chorus Daddy went out sailing, The wind blew down the mast. He hoisted up his whiskers And never went so fast. Chorus Daddy was in a tavern; He likes his lager beer. He pinned a pretzel to his nose And kept his whiskers clear. Chorus

Ghost Chickens in the Sky
Intended for:	All Scouts
Preparation:	Nothing really needed at all, but we had some action during each chorus with 'chickens' (wearing disposable rubber gloves like swim caps) and a farmer (with a cardboard cut out axe) chasing each other around. Also if someone knows the guitar chords for the original song it adds a lot to have the accompaniment
Notes:	The Tune: (Ghost Riders in the Sky)
Lyrics:	A chicken farmer went out one dark and dreary day, He stopped to sit beside the coup to break along his way, When all at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye, It was a sight he dreaded...Ghost Chickens in the sky. (Chorus) Bawk, bawk bawk bawwwwwkk, Bawk, bawk bawk bawwwwwkk, Ghost Chickens in the sky The farmer had raised chickens since he was twenty-four Been workin' for the Colonel some thirty years or more Raisin' all thise chickens then sending them to fry Now they want revenge... Those chickens in the sky. (Chorus) Their beaks were black and shiny, their eyes a burnin' red, They had no meat or feathers, these chickens all were dead. They picked the farmer up and he died by the claw. They cooked him extra crispy...and ate him with coleslaw. (Chorus - repeat last line) Ghost Riders in the Sky An old cowpoke went rdin' out one dark and windy day. Upon a ridge, he rested as he went along his way. When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw, A-plowing through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw. Yipppie aye-aaa Yippie aye-ooh Ghost riders in the sky. Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel. Their horns were black and shining and their hot breath he could feel. A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky. For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry. Yippie-aye-aaa Yippie-aye-ooh Ghost riders in the sky. Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat. They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet. 'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky, On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry. Yippie-aye-aaa Yippie-aye-ooh Ghost riders in the sky. As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name. "If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range, Then, cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride. A-trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies." Yippie-aye-aaa Yippie-aye-ooh Ghost riders in the sky.

Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day, for a three hour tour. a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost. The ship took ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle, with Giligan, the skipper too, The millionaire, and his wife, The movie star, The professor, and MaryAnn, here on Gilligan's Isle. So this is the tale of our castaways, they're here for a long, long time. They'll have to make the best of things, it's an uphill climb. The first mate, and his skipper too, will do their very best to make the others comfortable in this tropic island nest. No Phones, No lights, No Motorcars, Not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe It's primitive as can be. So join us here each week, my friend, you're sure to get a smile, from seven stranded castaways, Here on Gilligan's Isle!

Goober Peas

Lyrics:	Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day Chatting with my mess-mates passing time away Lying in the shadows underneath the trees Goodness how delicious eating goober peas. Chorus: Peas, peas, peas, peas Eating goober peas Goodness how delicious Eating goober peas. When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule To cry out their loudest, 'Mister, where's your mule?' But another custom, enchanting-er than these Is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas. Chorus Just before the battle, the General hears a row He says 'The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now.' He looks down the roadway and what d'you think he sees? The Georgia Militia cracking goober peas. Chorus I think my song has lasted just about enough. The subject's interesting but the rhymes are mighty rough. I wish the war was over so free from rags and fleas We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts, say good-bye to goober peas. Chorus

Grandma's Feather Bed

Made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese, took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick. It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed. We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed. After supper we'd sit around the fire, the old folks'd spit and chew. Pa would talk about the farm and the war, and Granny'd sing a ballad or two. I'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head, Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the morning in the middle of the old feather bed. - Chorus Well I love my Ma, I love my Pa, I love Granny and Grandpa too. I been fishing with my uncle, I wrassled with my cousin, I even kissed Aunt Lou, ew! But if I ever had to make a choice, I guess it oughta be said That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road for Grandma's feather bed. - Chorus

Happy Wanderer

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!" -Chorus I wave my hat to all I meet, And they wave back to me, And blackbirds call so loud and sweet From ev'ry green wood tree. -Chorus 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. -Chorus Oh, may I go a-wandering Until the day I die! Oh, may I always laugh and sing, Beneath God's clear blue sky! -Chorus I love to go a-gorging Amid great gobs of food, And as I do my abdomen Continues to protrude. Calorie, calorah, Calorie, calorah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Calorie, calorah, My body is obese. Italian food with all its cheese And thick tomato paste, It never seems to pass on through But hangs around my waist. French cuisine inspires me To even greater heights. An eight-course meal is quickly done In seven standard bites. A German meal is all I need To make my day complete. It's hard to keep account of all The strudel that I eat. At hot dog stands and burger joints To make my power play, They bring it in a wheelbarrow Instead of in a tray.

Home On The Range

Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day. Chorus: Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day. How often at night, when the heavens are bright With the light from the glittering stars I've stood there amazed, and asked, as I gazed, If their glory exceeds that of ours. Chorus The air is so pure, and the zephyrs so free And the breezes so balmy and light I would not exchange my home on the range For all the cities so bright. Chorus The Red man was pressed from this part of the west, He's likely no more to return, To the banks of the Red River where seldom if ever Their flickering campfires burn. Chorus Oh, I love these wild flowers in this dear land of ours, The curlew I love to hear cry, And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks, That graze on the mountain slopes high. Chorus Oh give me a land where the bright diamond sand, Flows leisurely down in the stream; Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along, Like a maid in a heavenly dream. Chorus How often at night, when the heavens are bright, With the light from the glittering stars, Have I stood there amazed, and asked as I gaze, If their glory exceeds that of ours. Chorus Yes, give me the gleam of a swift mountain stream, And the place no hurricanes blow. Oh, give me the park where the prairie dogs bark, And the mountains all covered with snow. Chorus Oh, give me the hills and the ring of the drills, And the rich silver ore in the ground. Yes, give me the gulch where the miners can sluice, And the bright yellow gold can be found. Chorus Oh, give me the mine where the prospectors find the gold in its own native land, And the hot springs below, where the sick people go, And camp on the banks of the Grand. Chorus Oh, give me the steed and the gun that I need To shoot game from my own cabin home. Then give me the camp where the fire is a lamp, And the wild rocky mountains to roam. Chorus Yes, give me the home where the prospectors roam. Their business is always alive In those wild western hills, midst the ring of the drills. Oh, let me live there 'til I die. Chorus

I'm My Own Grandpa
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Many, many years ago when I was 23, I was married to a wider who was purty as can be. This wider had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red My father fell in love with her and soon they two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life For my daughter was my mother cause she was my father's wife To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy, I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. I'm my own grandpa, I'm my own grandpa It sounds funny I know But it really is so I'm my own grandpa. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad, And so became my uncle though it made me very sad. For, if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother Of the wider's grown-up daughter who, of course, was my step-mother. My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run, And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too. I'm my own grandpa, I'm my own grandpa It sounds funny I know But it really is so I'm my own grandpa. Oh, if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild. And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw As husband of my own grandmother, I'm my own grandpa. I'm my own grandpa, I'm my own grandpa It sounds funny I know But it really is so I'm my own grandpa.

Notes:	The Tune: (Puff, the Magic Dragon)
Lyrics:	Muff the Tragic Wagon lived by the street And rolled along the boulevard, through rain and snow and sleet. Little Tommy Pumpkin loved that wagon, Muff, And rolled him home and filled him up With toys and other stuff.

Chorus Children live forever, but not so children's toys, Wagons can't forever be a friend to little boys.

I'm looking over my dead dog Rover Who died on the kitchen floor. One leg is broken, the other is lame, The third leg is missing, the fourth needs a cane.

Intended for:	Cub Scouts
Notes:	Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
Lyrics:	My leader fell into a pothole In a glacier while climbing an Alp. He's still there after 50 long winters, And all you can see is his scalp. Chorus: Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my leader to me, to me. Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my leader to me! My leader was proud of his whiskers, To shave them would give him the blues. They hung all the way to his ankles, And he used them for shining his shoes. (Chorus) My leader had faith in a sailboat He'd built from an old hollow tree. My leader set sail for Australia, Now my leader lies under the sea. (Chorus) My leader made friends with hyenas, He gave them a ride on his raft. When a crocodile reached up and grabbed him, The hyenas just sat there and laughed. (Chorus) My leader annoyed his dear parents They tossed him right out of the bus. And if we don't mend our behavior, Why that's what will happen to us. (Chorus) My brother has just joined a Scout troop He welcomed the challenge with glee. But he's awful hard work for his leader And his leader just happens to be me. (Chorus) I've told him the Law and the Promise I've shown him the handshake and sign I've told him we try to get badges But I didn't mean he should take mine! (Chorus) Raingutter Regatta We're having a Cub Scout regatta. We've sanded and painted our boats. I put on so much decoration, I sure hope my little boat floats. Chorus: Sail on, sail on, Sail on little sailboat, sail on, sail on. Sail on, sail on, Sail on little boat 'til you've won. My boat sails along the raingutter. I blow it with all of my might.

My little boat goes down - glug, glug!

It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don't you cry. Chorus: Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me. I'm goin' to Lousiana, my true love for to see. I had a dream the other night, when everything was still. I thought I saw Susanna a-comin' down the hill. The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye. Says I, I'm comin' from the South, Susanna don't you cry. Chorus I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look all 'round.

Old Chisholm Trail
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Come along boys and listen to my tale; I'll tell you of my troubles on the old Chisholm trail. Chorus: Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay, yippy yay! Come-a ti yi yippy, yippy, yay! On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle; Ridin' and a punchin' them Texas cattle Chorus We left old Texas October twenty-third Drivin' up the trail with a U-2 herd Chorus I jumped in the saddle an' I grabbed a-hold the horn, The best darned cowpuncher ever was born. Chorus I was on my best horse, and a going on the run, The quickest shootin' cowboy that ever pulled a gun. I'm up in the morning before daylight; Before I get to sleep the moon's shining bright. It's bacon and beans most every day, I'd sooner be a-eatin' the prairie hay. Feet in the stirrups and seat in the saddle, I hung and rattled with them long-horn cattle. Well the days are hot and the nights are cold This cowboy life is gettin' mighty old There's mud in the gully and dust in the draw The bossman's meaner than my mother-in-law Spent two days lookin' for muley-headed calf Ain't been to sleep in a week and a half Well the water's gettin' scarce and we're runnin' out of light Looks like we're gonna have to drive 'em all night It's cloudy in the west, a-lookin' like rain, And my durned old slicker's in the wagon again. The wind commenced to blow, and the rain began to fall, And it looked, by grab, like we was goin' to lose 'em all. No chaps, no slicker, and it's pourin' down rain, And I swear, by gosh, I'll never night-herd again. Got a hole in my hat where the rain runs in Got a hole in my boot where it runs out again We rounded 'em up and put 'em on the cars, And that was the last of the old Two Bars. I'm going to the ranch to draw my money, Goin' into town to see my honey. I went to the boss to draw my roll, He figured me out nine dollars in the hole. I'll sell my outfit as soon as I can, 'Cause I ain't punchin' cattle for no mean boss man. So I sold old baldy and I hung up my saddle, And I bid farewell to the longhorn cattle.

They all hastened after the agriculturist's spouse. She severed their posterior appendages with a chef's chopping implement. Have ever you audited such an account in your existence As three small rodents with optical deficiencies? Three small mice, three small mice, They pined for some fun, they pined for some fun. They made up their minds to set out to roam, Said they, 'Too dull to remain at home' And all the luggage they took was a comb, Three small mice, three small mice. Three bold mice, three bold mice, They came to an inn, they came to an inn. Good evening good host can you give us a bed ? The host he grinned and shook his head So they all slept out in a field instead, Three bold mice, three bold mice. Three cold mice, three cold mice, They woke up next morn, they woke up next morn. They each had a cold and a swollen face From sleeping all night in an open space; They rose quite early and left the place. Three cold mice, three cold mice. Three hungry mice, three hungry mice, They searched for some food, they searched for some food. But all they found was a walnut shell That lay by the side of a dried-up well; Who had eaten the nut they could not tell, Three hungry mice, three hungry mice. Three starved mice, three starved mice, They came to a farm, they came to a farm. The farmer was eating some bread and cheese, So they all went down on their hands and knees, Said 'Oh give us a morsel please'. Three starved mice, three starved mice. Three glad mice, three glad mice, They ate all they could, they ate all they could. They felt so happy they danced with glee But the farmer's wife came out to see What might their merrymaking be. Three glad mice, three glad mice. Three poor mice, three poor mice, They soon changed their tune, they soon changed their tune. The farmer's wife said what are you at, And why are you dancing around like that ? Just wait a minute I'll fetch the cat. Three poor mice, three poor mice. Three scared mice, three scared mice, They ran for their lives, they ran for their lives. They jumped out on the window ledge, The mention of cats put their teeth on edge So they hid themselves in a bramble hedge. Three scared mice, three scared mice. Three sad mice, three sad mice, What could they do, what could they do ? The bramble hedge was most unkind, It scratched their eyes and made them blind And soon each mouse went out of his mind. Three sad mice, three sad mice. Three blind mice, three blind mice, See how they run, see how they run. They all ran after the farmer's wife Who cut off their tails with a carving knife, Did you ever see such a sight in your life As three blind mice, three blind mice. Three sick mice, three sick mice. They gave way to tears, they gave way to tears. They could not see and they had no end So they went to the doctor and found a friend Who gave them some Never-Too-Late-To-Mend. Three sick mice, three sick mice. Three wise mice, three wise mice, Rubbed rubbed away, rubbed rubbed away. And soon their tails began to grow And their eyes recovered their sight, you know. They looked in the mirror, it told them so. Three wise ice, three wise mice. Three proud mice, three proud mice, They soon settled down, they soon settled down. The name of their house I cannot tell, But they've learned a trade and they're doing well. If you pay them a visit, just ring the bell, Three times twice, three times twice.

Throw the Leaders overboard And listen to them scream. Row, row, row your boat Underneath the stream. Ha, ha! Fooled you. We're in a submarine. Row, row, row your boat Careful as can be.

Quickly cross the creek. The boat is filling up real fast, I think it sprung a leak. Row, row, row your boat. With your dog named Rover. Shut up! Sit Down! Or, you'll tip us over.

People stop and pay attention when he tells 'em to beware, 'cause ev'rybody knows that he's the Fire Prevention Bear. Chorus: Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear. Prowlin' and a growlin' and a sniffin' the air. He can find a fire before it starts to flame. That's why they call him Smokey, That was how he got his name. You can take a tip from Smokey that there's nothin' like a tree. 'cause they're good for kids to climb in and they're beautiful to see, you just have to look around you and you'll find it's not a joke, to see what you'd be missin' if they all went up in smoke. Chorus You can camp upon his doorstep and he'll make you feel at home; You can run and hunt and ramble anywhere you care to roam. He will let you take his honey and pretend he's not so smart, but don't you harm his trees for he's a Ranger in his heart. Chorus If you've ever seen the forest when a fire is running wild, and you love the things within it like a mother loves her child, then you know why Smokey tells you when he sees you passing through, 'Remember...please be careful.... its the least that you can do.' Chorus

Star Spangled Banner
Intended for:	All Scouts
Lyrics:	Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, 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 star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand, Between their loved homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us as a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

The Fox
Intended for:	Cub Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	Oh the fox went out on a chilly night, Prayed for the moon to give him light, He'd many a mile to go that night, Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o He'd many a mile to go that night, Before he reached the town-o. He ran until he came to a great big bin, The ducks and geese were put therein, Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin, Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o, Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin, Before I leave this town-o. He grabbed the grey goose by the neck, Slung the little one over his back, He didn't mind their quack quack quack, And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o, No he didn't mind their quack quack quack, And the legs all dangling down-o. Old mother pitter patter jumped out of bed, Out of the window she cocked her head, Crying, 'JOhn, John the grey goose is gone, And the fox is in the town-o, town-o, town-o,' Crying, 'John, John the grey goose is gone, And the fox is in the town-o.' John he went to the top of the hill, Blew his horn both loud and shrill, The fox he said 'I better flee with my kill, For he'll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o,' The fox he said 'I better flee with my kill, For he'll soon be on my trail-o.' He ran 'til he came to his cozy den, There were little ones eight, nine, ten, They said, 'Daddy, Daddy, you better go back again, For it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o.' They said, 'Daddy, Daddy, you better go back again, For it must be a mighty fine town-o.' Then the fox and his wife without any strife, Cut up the grey goose with a fork and knife, They never had such a supper in their life, And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o, They never had such a supper in their life, And the little ones chewed on the bones-o.

The Thing
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day, I saw a great big wooden box a floating in the bay. I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise: Oh, I discovered a (clap - clap - clap) right before my eyes. Oh, I discovered a (clap - clap - clap) right before my eyes. I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king. I took it to a guy I knew 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 (clap - clap - clap) before I call a cop. Oh, get out of here with that (clap - clap - clap) before I call a cop. I turned around and got right out a running 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 (clap - clap - clap) and don't come back no more. Oh, get out of here with that (clap - clap - clap) 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 anything - he was a desperate man. But, when I showed him the (clap - clap - clap) he turned around and ran. Oh, when I showed him the (clap - clap - clap) he turned around and ran. I wandered on for many years a victim of my fate. Until, one day, I came upon St. Peter at the gate. And when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go: Get out of here with that (clap - clap - clap) and take it down below. Oh, get out of here with that (clap - clap - clap) and take it down below. 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 that (clap - clap - clap) no matter what you do. 'Cause you'll never get rid of that (clap - clap - clap) no matter what you do.

There Was an Old Lady
Intended for:	Cub Scouts
Lyrics:	There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. I guess she'll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a spider. That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. I guess she'll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a bird. How absurd! To swallow a bird! She swallowed the bird to catch the spider That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed the fly. I guess she'll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a cat. Imagine that! She swallowed a cat. She swallowed the cat to catch the bird. How absurd! To swallow a bird! She swallowed the bird to catch the spider That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed the fly. I guess she'll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a Dog. What a hog! She swallowed a dog. There was an old lady who swallowed a Goat. She opened her throat And in walked a goat. There was an old lady who swallowed a Cow. I don't know how She swallowed that cow. There was an old lady, she swallowed a horse. She's DEAD of course!

Tie Me Kangaroo Down

Tiger Cub Chant
Intended for:	Tiger Scouts
Required:	The more the scout leader looks like a drill instructor (Smokey bear hat, whistle etc.) the better.
Preparation:	All Tiger Scouts form a line facing the audience. The Drill Instructor stands at one end and everyone marches in place as the Leader barks out the chant and his troops repeat after him.
Notes:	I wrote this to help the Tiger Cubs remember the Scout Promise. This can be used as an inside activity or while marching on a hike. You can create a big finish at the end if the scouts yell "one, two" and "three, four" then all stop marching.
Lyrics:	Hup, two, three, four Hup two three four, We are Tiger Cubs who care, Gonna Search, Discover, Share. We are Tiger Cubs who say, Let Akela show the way. I promise to do my best, Duty, God and country's test. Helping other people so, Thats what makes a Cub Scout grow. We obey laws of the pack. To our community we give back. Sound off one two Sound off three four Hup two three four hup two....three four.

Unicorn
Intended for:	Cub Scouts
Notes:	The Tune: view video An old Irish Rovers song.
Lyrics:	A long time ago when the earth was green, There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen. They'd run around free while the earth was being born But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn. There was green alligators And long necked geese Some humpy back 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. He said, "Stand back! I'm gonna make it rain." He said, "Hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do, Build me a floating zoo. And take some of them Green alligators and long necked geese Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants But sure as you're born Don't you forget my unicorns." Old Noah was there to answer the call. He finished up making the ark Just as the rain started to fall. He marched in the animals two by two And called out as they went through, "Hey, Lord, I've got your green alligators, And long necked geese Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees Some Cats and rats and elephants But, Lord, I'm so forlorn, I just can't see no unicorns." Then Noah looked out through the driving rain Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring Oh them silly unicorns. There was green alligators and long necked geese Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees And Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain is pouring in And we just can't wait for no unicorns." The ark started moving, 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. And that's why you'll never see a unicorn to this very day. You'll see green alligators and long necked geese Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants But sure as you're born, You're never gonna see no unicorns.

Wabash Cannonball
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	Tune:
Lyrics:	From the wide Pacific Ocean To the broad Atlantic shore From sunny California To ice-bound Labrador She's mighty tall and handsome She's loved by one and all She's the hobo's accommodation, the Wabash Cannonball. Oh, listen to the jingle, The rumble and the roar, As she glides along the woodlands, Over hills and by the shore. Hear the mighty rush of the engine, Hear the lonesome hobos squall, While rumbling through the jungle On Wabash Cannonball. Now the Eastern states are dandy So the people alwasy say. From New York to St. Louis Chicago, by the way, Through the hills of Minnesota Where the rippling waters fall, No chances to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball. Oh, listen to the jingle, The rumble and the roar, As she glides along the woodlands, Over hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine, Hear the lonesome hobos squall, While rumbling through the jungle On the Wabash Cannonball Now here's to Daddy Claxton, May his name forever stand He'll always be remembered In the courts throughout the land His earthly race is over And the curtain round him falls Carryin' him home to victory On the Wabash Cannonball.

Chorus: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Chorus: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag, You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred, Down came the troopers - one, two, three, Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag? You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Chorus: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me, Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag? You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Up jumped the swagman, and sprang into the billabong, You'll never catch me alive said he, And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. Chorus: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me, And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Where Oh Where Are You Tonight?
Intended for:	All Scouts
Lyrics:	Where, oh where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I fixed the kids dinner and they are in bed now. Since you found Scouting, you're never at home. When I started Scouting, all they ever told me Was "Go with the boys, and have lots of fun." Now all that I do is go to Scout meetings. It seems like I'm always the one on the run. Where, oh where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I fixed the kids dinner and they are in bed now. Since you found Scouting, you're never at home. One day I was told to try basic training. I went 'cuz it sounded like lots of fun. Now I am in charge of all of the training. Oh, Heaven help me! Now what have I done!!??!! Where, oh where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? So sorry you missed your kid's graduation. Maybe his wedding will bring you back home. Woodbadge was something that I'd never heard of. Worked for those beads 'till blue in my face. One day I came home and she was spring cleaning: She threw out those beads on that old shoelace!! Where, oh where, are you tonight? Your oldest daughter just had her first son. Should I tell her now of all that's she's in for? Her life in Scouting has only begun. Where, oh where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I fixed the kids dinner and they are in bed now. Since you found Scouting, you're never at home.

With the Scent Of Woodsmoke
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune: view video
Lyrics:	With the scent of woodsmoke drifting on the air And the glow of firelight we always love to share Visions of camp-fires all return And as the logs flame up and burn We dream of bygone campfires and long for those to come. Tongues of yellow fire flickering up on high Reaching twisting fingers up to a starlit sky Voices recall songs old and new Songs once dear to our fathers too Who dreamed of bygone campfires and longed for those to come. Gently dying embers cast a rosy glow Voices slowly sinking to tones so soft and low Slowly upon the still night air Fall faithful voices hushed in prayer That dream of bygone campfires and long for those to come.

Father and I went down to camp Along with Captain Gooding And there we saw the men and boys As thick as hasty pudding. Yankee Doodle, keep it up Yankee Doodle dandy Mind the music and the step And with the girls be handy. There was Captain Washington Upon a slapping stallion A-giving orders to his men I guess there was a million. Yankee Doodle, keep it up Yankee Doodle dandy Mind the music and the step And with the girls be handy.

Yellow Rose of Texas
Intended for:	All Scouts
Notes:	The Tune:
Lyrics:	There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see, Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me. She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart, And if I ever find her, we nevermore will part. She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew, Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew; You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee, But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me. When the Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are bright, She walks along the river in the quiet summer night: I know that she remembers, when we parted long ago, I promise to return again, and not to leave her so. She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew, Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew; You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee, But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me. Oh now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe, And we'll sing the songs together, that we sung so long ago We'll play the bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore, And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore. She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew, Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew; You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee, But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.
