THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS
1) In 1814 we took a little trip,
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
And we met the bloody British near the town of New Orleans.
Chorus:
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'.
There wasn't nigh as many as they was a while ago.
We fired once more and they begin to runnin',
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
2) We looked down the river and we see'd the British come...
There must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring;
While we stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.
Chorus
3) Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise.
If we didn't fire a musket till we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well;
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em--Well.
Chorus
4) They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
'em, On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Chorus
5) We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down,
So we grabbed an alligator and we poured an other round.
We put the ball between his teeth and powdered his behind,
And when we touched the powder off the 'gator lost his mind.
Chorus
6) They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em,
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Throw it Out the Window
I love you, you love me, let’s get together
and throw Barney… out the window
Chorus
The window, the second-story window,
High Low, Low High, the second-story window.
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
To fetch her poor dog a bone,
But when she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
So she threw it out the window,
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating his Christmas pie;
He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum,
And threw it out the window,
Chorus
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl,
Then he threw them out the window,
Chorus
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn't know where to find them;
But leave her alone, when they come home,
She'll throw them out the window,
Chorus
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey; when along came a spider,
Who sat right down beside her,
She threw him out the window,
Chorus
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill threw him out the window,
Chorus
Mary had a little lamb, its' fleece was white as snow,
And ev'rywhere that Mary went,
She threw it out the window! Chorus
Eeny meeney miny moe, catch a tiger by the toe,
If he hollers let him go,
But throw him out the window. Chorus
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Threw him out the window. Chorus
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater had a wife and couldn't keep her.
Put her in a pumpkin shell
And threw her out the window. Chorus
Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped out the window…Chorus
It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man’s snoring;
He got out of bed and bumped his head
And fell out the window…Chorus
Three little kittens they lost their mittens, and they began to cry,
Oh mother dear, we sadly fear our mittens we have lost..
So she threw them out the window…Chorus
Three blind mice, see how they run!
They all ran after the farmer’s wife,
Who cut off their tails with a caving knife,
And threw them out the window…Chorus
This little pig went to market, this little pig stayed home,
This little pig had roast beef,
And this little pig got thrown out the window…Chorus
The eency, weency spider climbed up the water spout;
Down came the rain and washed the spider out the window…Chorus
Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub
And how do you thing they got there? The butcher, the baker
And the candlestick-maker, and
They all jumped out the window…Chorus
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe;
She had so many children she didn’t know what to do.
So she threw them out the window…Chorus
Pat a cake, pat a cake, Baker’s man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can and
Throw it out the window…Chorus
Pussy cat, pussy cat where have you been?
I’ve been to London to visit the Queen
And throw her out the window…Chorus
Baa, baa, black sheep have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes sir, three bags full; one for the master
One for the dame and one to throw out the window…Chorus
Rock-a-bye, baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
And when the bough breaks the cradle will fall out the window…chorus

Couldn't find it anywhere
Six months later
Found it on a polar bear
Long, long time ago.

And a pocket full of sand

On Top of Spaghetti
(tune: “On Top Of Old Smokey)
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.
It rolled through the garden and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.
The mush was as fertile, as fertile could be,
And later that summer, there sprouted a tree.
The tree was all covered with beautiful moss,
And on it grew meatballs in tomato sauce.
Itsy Bitsy’s Birthday
(tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider)

Brave, but not a faker,
Clean in thought and word and deed,
And Reverent to his Maker.

Cub Scout Pack
(tune: Your a Grand Old Flag)
We're a Cub Scout Pack,
We're a high flying pack,
Down the trail of Akela we'll go.
From Wolves to Bears to Webelos,
As into good Cub Scouts we'll grow.
Every Cub is true to the gold and the blue,
And he never forgets this fact:
That all the fun a boy could want,
He can find in his Cub Scout Pack.
Puff, the Magic Maggot
Chorus:
Puff, the magic maggot lives in my trash
and frolics in banana peels and in the cigarette ash!
Puff, the magic maggot lives in my trash
and dines on month-old kitty litter and mildewed corn beef hash!
Verse 1
Little Teddy Tapeworm loved that maggot Puff.
He brought him dead dogs two weeks old,
and scabs still moist with pus.
Together they would travel to the city morgue to eat.
Puff would get the bones and hair and Teddy would get the meat!
Chorus
Verse 2
Maggots live forever, but tapeworms aren't too tough.
Teddy could eat the bones and hair,
but he choked on the scabs with pus.
Puff was broken-hearted, losing Teddy really hurt,
But not as much as hunger did, so he ate him for dessert!
Itsy Bitsy Scorpion
The itsy bitsy scorpion crawled up upon my shirt.
I smashed him with my hand, then threw him in the dirt,
When he stopped a squirming, I put him in my stew,
'Cause itsy bitsy scorpions taste good to me and you!
Oh, My Darling Frankenstein
(Tune: Clementine)
Chorus:
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling Frankenstein.
You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Frankenstein!
I was working with my test tubes
In my laboratory fine.
Then one day I broke my glasses
And I made poor Frankenstein.
He was charming, he was handsome,
And I nailed his head on tight.
Oh, his teeth were sharp and pearly
And his eyes came out at night.
Oh, his nose, I made it quickly
From a rotten apple core,
And his tongue was nice and purple
And it hung down to the floor.
Chorus
Then the Wolfman came to work,
"Sir," I said, "What's in your mouth?"
He said "Fangs." I said "You're welcome."
And he still is running south.
Frankenstein helped in the kitchen
He was baking up a cake,
When he fell in the Mixmaster
And got whipped up by mistake.
Cooking nicely in the oven,
Oh, the cake, it came out fine.
I told my friends that they were raisins,
But those lumps were Frankenstein!
Chorus
Underwear
Tune: "Over There"
Underwear, Underwear,
How I itch in my woolen underwear.
How I wish I'd gotten a pair of cotton,
So I wouldn't itch everywhere.
BVDs make me sneeze.
When the breeze from the trees
Hits my knees.
Coming over, I'm coming over,
In my gosh darned, itchy, woolen underwear.
Underwear, Underwear
Send a pair, send a pair I can wear
For I left mine lyin' outside a dryin'
And I can't find them anywhere
Underwear, Underwear
Send a pair, send a pair I can wear
Assembly's blowing, I must be going
And I'll get there if I have to get there bare
Mom, Wash My Underwear
(Tune: "God Bless America")
Mom, wash my underwear; my only pair.
We can find them, and move them,
From the heap by the side of the chair.
To the washer, to the clothes line,
To my backpack, to my rear.
Mom, wash my underwear, my only pair.
Mom wash my underwear, my only pair.
The Little Green Frog
Gaaloomph went the little green frog one day

KOOKABURRA
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh Kookaburra, Laugh Kookaburra
Gay your life must be.
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.
Eating all the gumdrops he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, Stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me!
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.
With a bellyache as you can see,
Ha, Kookaburra, ha, Kookaburra,
Didn’t save any for me, ha, ha, ha!
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.
Counting all the monkeys he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, Stop Kookaburra
That’s not a monkey, that’s me, ha, ha, ha!
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.
Pulling all the splinters out of his tail,
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch, Kookaburra,
Sore your tail must be, ha, ha, ha!
The Fish is Dead
(Sung to the tune of Joy to the World)
Joy to the world, the fish is dead.
We barbecued his head!
What happened to his body?
We flushed it down the potty!
Around and round it goes,
Around and round it goes,
Around and round and round it goes!
Ain't Gonna Rain No More
Chorus:
Oh, it ain't gonna rain no more, no more,
it ain't gonna rain no more.
It rained last week and the week before,
it ain't gonna rain no more.
Mary had a little lamb, so goes the tale of yore.
She loved that little lamb so much,
She passed the plate for more.
A bullfrog sat on a lily pad, looking up in the sky.
He fell right off that lily pad, and got water in his eye.
Oh, a peanut sat on a railroad track, it's heart was all a-flutter.
Along came the 5:05 - Oops! 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!
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!
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.
Camp Granada
Hello Mudda, hello Fadda,
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 ptomain 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 bunk mate has malaria.
You remember Jeffrey Hardy,
They're about to organize a searching party.
Take me home, oh Mudda, Fadda,
Take me home, I hate Granada!
Don't leave me in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear.
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise,
Or mess the house with other boys.
Oh, please don't make me stay,
I've been here one whole day.
Dearest Father, darling Mother,
How's my precious little brother?
Let me come home if you miss me,
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,
Guys are swimming, gals are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's betta,
Mudda, Fadda, kindly disregard this letter!
My Stomach Has Had It
(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")
My breakfast lies over the ocean,
My dinner lies over the sea,
My stomach is in a commotion,
Don't mention my supper to me.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring Back my bucket to me, to me,
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring Back my bucket to me, to me!
I really felt rotten this morning,
They tell me I really looked pale,
My stomach gave adequate warning,
To lean far out over the rail.
The sound of a stomach in motion,
A murmuring noise inside me,
I looked down and there on the water,
Was breakfast and dinner and tea.
The Wrong End
(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")
Oh, rabbits have bright, shiny noses.
I'm telling you this as a friend.
The reason their noses are shiny:
The powder puff's on the wrong end.
Wrong end, wrong end,
The powder puff's on the wrong end, wrong end
Wrong end, wrong end,
The powder puff's on the wrong end.
If You're Happy
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it,
and you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
2nd verse:
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet.
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet.

If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet.

If you’re happy and you know it, nod your head.
If you’re happy and you know it, nod your head.
If you’re happy and you know it, nod your head.
If you're happy and you know it,
and you really want to show it,
If you’re happy and you know it, nod your head.
4th verse:
If you’re happy and you know it, do all three.
If you’re happy and you know it, do all three.
If you’re happy and you know it, do all three.
If you're happy and you know it,
and you really want to show it,
If you’re happy and you know it, do all three.
Scouting Spirit
I've got that Scouting Spirit up in my head,
up in my head, up in my head.

You wait for the critter to meet it's fate.

Something In My Pocket
I've got something in my pocket

It's cool and green and slimy
And it wiggles in my hand
I've also got a wooly worm
And a pocket full of sand

“Or the hunter will shoot me dead!” (make finger gun, shoot)
“Come little rabbit, come with me,” (welcome gesture)

On Top of Spaghetti
(tune: “On Top Of Old Smokey)
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.
It rolled through the garden and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.
The mush was as fertile, as fertile could be,
And later that summer, there sprouted a tree.
The tree was all covered with beautiful moss,
And on it grew meatballs in tomato sauce.

Clean in thought and word and deed,
And Reverent to his Maker.

Cub Scout Pack
(tune: Your a Grand Old Flag)
We're a Cub Scout Pack,
We're a high flying pack,

As into good Cub Scouts we'll grow.
Every Cub is true to the gold and the blue,
And he never forgets this fact:
That all the fun a boy could want,
He can find in his Cub Scout Pack.
Puff, the Magic Maggot
Chorus:
Puff, the magic maggot lives in my trash
and frolics in banana peels and in the cigarette ash!
Puff, the magic maggot lives in my trash
and dines on month-old kitty litter and mildewed corn beef hash!
Verse 1
Little Teddy Tapeworm loved that maggot Puff.
He brought him dead dogs two weeks old,
and scabs still moist with pus.
Together they would travel to the city morgue to eat.
Puff would get the bones and hair and Teddy would get the meat!
Chorus
Verse 2
Maggots live forever, but tapeworms aren't too tough.
Teddy could eat the bones and hair,
but he choked on the scabs with pus.
Puff was broken-hearted, losing Teddy really hurt,
But not as much as hunger did, so he ate him for dessert!
Itsy Bitsy Scorpion
The itsy bitsy scorpion crawled up upon my shirt.
I smashed him with my hand, then threw him in the dirt,
When he stopped a squirming, I put him in my stew,
'Cause itsy bitsy scorpions taste good to me and you!
Oh, My Darling Frankenstein
(Tune: Clementine)
Chorus:
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling Frankenstein.
You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Frankenstein!
I was working with my test tubes
In my laboratory fine.
Then one day I broke my glasses
And I made poor Frankenstein.
He was charming, he was handsome,
And I nailed his head on tight.
Oh, his teeth were sharp and pearly
And his eyes came out at night.
Oh, his nose, I made it quickly
From a rotten apple core,
And his tongue was nice and purple
And it hung down to the floor.
Chorus
Then the Wolfman came to work,
"Sir," I said, "What's in your mouth?"
He said "Fangs." I said "You're welcome."
And he still is running south.
Frankenstein helped in the kitchen
He was baking up a cake,
When he fell in the Mixmaster
And got whipped up by mistake.
Cooking nicely in the oven,
Oh, the cake, it came out fine.
I told my friends that they were raisins,
But those lumps were Frankenstein!
Chorus
Underwear
Tune: "Over There"
Underwear, Underwear,
How I itch in my woolen underwear.
How I wish I'd gotten a pair of cotton,
So I wouldn't itch everywhere.
BVDs make me sneeze.
When the breeze from the trees
Hits my knees.
Coming over, I'm coming over,
In my gosh darned, itchy, woolen underwear.
Underwear, Underwear
Send a pair, send a pair I can wear
For I left mine lyin' outside a dryin'
And I can't find them anywhere
Underwear, Underwear
Send a pair, send a pair I can wear
Assembly's blowing, I must be going
And I'll get there if I have to get there bare
Mom, Wash My Underwear
(Tune: "God Bless America")
Mom, wash my underwear; my only pair.
We can find them, and move them,
From the heap by the side of the chair.
To the washer, to the clothes line,
To my backpack, to my rear.
Mom, wash my underwear, my only pair.
Mom wash my underwear, my only pair.

KOOKABURRA
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh Kookaburra, Laugh Kookaburra
Gay your life must be.
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.
Eating all the gumdrops he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, Stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me!
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.
With a bellyache as you can see,
Ha, Kookaburra, ha, Kookaburra,
Didn’t save any for me, ha, ha, ha!
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.
Counting all the monkeys he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, Stop Kookaburra
That’s not a monkey, that’s me, ha, ha, ha!
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree.
Pulling all the splinters out of his tail,
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch, Kookaburra,
Sore your tail must be, ha, ha, ha!
The Fish is Dead
(Sung to the tune of Joy to the World)
Joy to the world, the fish is dead.
We barbecued his head!
What happened to his body?
We flushed it down the potty!
Around and round it goes,
Around and round it goes,
Around and round and round it goes!
Ain't Gonna Rain No More
Chorus:
Oh, it ain't gonna rain no more, no more,
it ain't gonna rain no more.
It rained last week and the week before,
it ain't gonna rain no more.
Mary had a little lamb, so goes the tale of yore.
She loved that little lamb so much,
She passed the plate for more.
A bullfrog sat on a lily pad, looking up in the sky.
He fell right off that lily pad, and got water in his eye.
Oh, a peanut sat on a railroad track, it's heart was all a-flutter.
Along came the 5:05 - Oops! 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!
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!
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.
Camp Granada
Hello Mudda, hello Fadda,
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 ptomain 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 bunk mate has malaria.
You remember Jeffrey Hardy,
They're about to organize a searching party.
Take me home, oh Mudda, Fadda,
Take me home, I hate Granada!
Don't leave me in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear.
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise,
Or mess the house with other boys.
Oh, please don't make me stay,
I've been here one whole day.
Dearest Father, darling Mother,
How's my precious little brother?
Let me come home if you miss me,
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,
Guys are swimming, gals are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's betta,
Mudda, Fadda, kindly disregard this letter!
My Stomach Has Had It
(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")
My breakfast lies over the ocean,
My dinner lies over the sea,
My stomach is in a commotion,
Don't mention my supper to me.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring Back my bucket to me, to me,
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring Back my bucket to me, to me!
I really felt rotten this morning,
They tell me I really looked pale,
My stomach gave adequate warning,
To lean far out over the rail.
The sound of a stomach in motion,
A murmuring noise inside me,
I looked down and there on the water,
Was breakfast and dinner and tea.
The Wrong End
(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")
Oh, rabbits have bright, shiny noses.
I'm telling you this as a friend.
The reason their noses are shiny:
The powder puff's on the wrong end.
Wrong end, wrong end,
The powder puff's on the wrong end, wrong end
Wrong end, wrong end,
The powder puff's on the wrong end.

HAWAIIAN PUNCH
(Tune- The Brady Bunch)
It's the story of a lovely apple
Who was bringing up three very lovely fruits
All of them had skin of gold like their mother
The youngest one in peels
It's the story of Mr. Pineapple
Who was bringing up three fruits of his own
They were four fruits living all together
But they were all alone
Then the one day the apple met the pineapple
And they knew that it was much more than a hunch
That this group must somehow form a beverage
That's the way they became Hawaiian Punch
Hawaiian Punch, Hawaiian Punch
That's the way they became Hawaiian Punch
SOMETHING IN MY POCKET
(Tune- Brownie Smile Song)
I have something in my pocket

And it squiggles in my hand
I also have a wooly worm
And a pocket full of sand
ONCE A CUB SCOUT WENT TO CAMP

Went to camp without his lamp, without his lamp
And when he saw a spider in his bed,
This is what the Cub Scout said, Cub Scout said:
"Spider, spider, go away, go away,
You are not allowed to stay, allowed to stay
This is what my leader said,
'No two bodies in one bed, in one bed.'"
Once a Girl Scout went to camp, went to camp
Went to camp without her lamp, without her lamp
And there she saw a spider in her bed, in her bed
This is what the Girl Scout said, Girl Scout said:

Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too.
(Chorus) But the one little duck with the feather on her back, She
led the others with a Quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack.
Quack, quack, quack. She led the others with a Quack, quack,

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arms.

Haven't had a bath in two years,
And I never change my clothes,
But I've got these little black things,
Where they come from, Heaven knows!
Chorus
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me,
But he screamed and gave a yell,
And he ran before I could ask him:
Was it the black things or the smell?

Puff the Magic Dragon
Chorus:
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Honah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.
Oh... Chorus
Together that would travel on a boat with billowed sail, Jackie kept
a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail, Noble kings and
princesses would bow where'ere they came, Pirate ships would
low're their flag when Puff roared out his name.
Oh... Chorus
A dragon lives forever but no so little boys Painted wings and giant
rings make way for other toys.
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more and Puff
that mighty dragon he ceased his fearless roar.
Oh... Chorus
His head was bent in sorrow--- green scales fell like rain, Puff no
longer went to play without his lifelong friend. Puff could not be
brace so Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave.
Oh... Chorus
My Leader
(tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
My leader fell into a pothole
In a glacier while climbing an Alp.
He's still there after 50 long winter,
And all you see is his scalp.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my leader to me, to me
Bring back, bring back,
O 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 had 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 mind our behavior,
Why that's what will happen to us.
Chorus

Bug Juice
(Tune: On Top of Old Smokey)
At camp with the Cub Scouts,
They gave us a drink.
We thought it was kool-aid
Because it was pink.
But the drink that they gave us
Would have grossed out a moose.
For the good tasting pink drink,
Was really bug juice.
It looks fresh and fruity,
Like tasty koolaid.
But the bugs that are 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.
Next time you drink bug juice
And a fly drives you mad.
He's just getting even
'Cause you swallowed his dad.

America The Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain.
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shinning sea.
O beautiful for patriot's dreams
That sees beyond the years.
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee.
And crown thy good, with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
This Land Is Your Land
(By Woodie Guthrie)
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the Gulfstream water
This land was made for you and me.
As was walking, that ribbon of highway
I looked above me, there in the sky-way
I looked below me, in the golden valley
This land was made for you and me.
(repeat first verse)
God Bless America
God bless America, Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her,
Thru the night with the light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam.
God bless America, my home, sweet, home;
God bless America, my home, sweet, home.
HE HEARS
(Tune: On top of old Smokey)
My God is so great
and I am so small,
but it doesn't matter
he hears when I call!
He hears when I whisper,
he hears when I shout
he hears my "thank you"
'cause I'm a Cub Scout.
SCOUTMASTER'S HYMN
On top of Old Smokey, all covered with snow.
I learned a great lesson, all people should know.
I met a scoutmaster, a helper of youth.
He was roaming God's mountains, in search of the truth.
He told me he found it, in the red sunset' glow.
In the voice of the thunder, in the touch of the snow.
His truth was quite simple, as plain as could be.
I'll never forget what that leader told me.
Do your duty to God, to the red, white, and blue.
To all others be helpful, and to thine own self be true.

God’s Love is Like a Circle
(tune: “Puff the Magic Dragon”)
God’s love is like a circle,
A circle big and round.
And when you see a circle
No ending can be found.
That’s how it is with God’s love,
Goes on eternally,
Forever and forever more
I know that God loves me.
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
John Newton 1725-1807 (stanza 6 Anon)
Scout Vesper
Tune: "Tannenbaum"
Softly falls the light of day,
While our campfire fades away.
Silently each scout should ask:
"Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to be prepared.?"
Cub Scout Vespers
(Tune: "O Tannenbaum")
As the night comes to this land,
On my promise I will stand.
I will help the Pack to go,
As the Pack helps me to grow.
Yes, I will always give goodwill,
I'll follow my Akela still.
And before I stop to rest
I will do my very best.
Daylight Taps
(same tune as "Taps")
Thanks and praise, For our days
'Neath the sun, 'Neath the stars
'Neath the sky, As we go
This we know, God is nigh.
TAPS for Cubs
As we close, each Cub Scout knows,
What it means to be fair,
To be true.
To be proud of the gold,
And the blue.
TAPS
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, From the sky.
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.
The other day (repeat), I met a bear (repeat)
A great big bear (repeat), Oh way out there (repeat)
He looked at me, (repeat), I looked at him (repeat)
He sized up me (repeat), I sized up him (repeat)
He says to me, (repeat), "Why don't you run? (repeat)
I see you don't (repeat), Have any gun." (repeat)
And so I ran (repeat), Away from there (repeat)
But right behind (repeat), Me was that bear (repeat)
I had to climb (repeat), Into a tree (repeat)
A great big tree (repeat), Oh mercy me (repeat)
The lowest branch (repeat), Was ten feet up (repeat)
I had to jump (repeat), And trust my luck (repeat)
And so I jumped (repeat), Into the air (repeat)
But I missed that branch (repeat), Oh way up there (repeat)
But don't you fret (repeat), And don't you frown
'Cause I caught that branch (repeat)
On the way back down (repeat)
That's all there is (repeat),There is no more (repeat)
Unless I see that bear once more

HAWAIIAN PUNCH
(Tune- The Brady Bunch)
It's the story of a lovely apple
Who was bringing up three very lovely fruits
All of them had skin of gold like their mother
The youngest one in peels
It's the story of Mr. Pineapple
Who was bringing up three fruits of his own
They were four fruits living all together
But they were all alone
Then the one day the apple met the pineapple
And they knew that it was much more than a hunch
That this group must somehow form a beverage
That's the way they became Hawaiian Punch
Hawaiian Punch, Hawaiian Punch
That's the way they became Hawaiian Punch
SOMETHING IN MY POCKET
(Tune- Brownie Smile Song)
I have something in my pocket
That I found behind a log
My leader said to let it loose
But I want to keep my frog
It's cool and green and slimy
And it squiggles in my hand
I also have a wooly worm
And a pocket full of sand
ONCE A CUB SCOUT WENT TO CAMP
(Tune: Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes)
Once a Cub Scout went to camp, went to camp
Went to camp without his lamp, without his lamp
And when he saw a spider in his bed,
This is what the Cub Scout said, Cub Scout said:
"Spider, spider, go away, go away,
You are not allowed to stay, allowed to stay
This is what my leader said,
'No two bodies in one bed, in one bed.'"
Once a Girl Scout went to camp, went to camp
Went to camp without her lamp, without her lamp
And there she saw a spider in her bed, in her bed
This is what the Girl Scout said, Girl Scout said:
"Aaaaaauuughhhhhh!"

led the others with a Quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack.

Little Black Things
(tune: Clementine)
Chorus:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arms.

I can start a black things farm!
Haven't had a bath in two years,
And I never change my clothes,
But I've got these little black things,
Where they come from, Heaven knows!
Chorus
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me,
But he screamed and gave a yell,
And he ran before I could ask him:
Was it the black things or the smell?

Puff the Magic Dragon
Chorus:
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Honah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.
Oh... Chorus
Together that would travel on a boat with billowed sail, Jackie kept
a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail, Noble kings and
princesses would bow where'ere they came, Pirate ships would
low're their flag when Puff roared out his name.
Oh... Chorus
A dragon lives forever but no so little boys Painted wings and giant
rings make way for other toys.
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more and Puff
that mighty dragon he ceased his fearless roar.
Oh... Chorus
His head was bent in sorrow--- green scales fell like rain, Puff no
longer went to play without his lifelong friend. Puff could not be
brace so Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave.
Oh... Chorus
My Leader
(tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
My leader fell into a pothole
In a glacier while climbing an Alp.
He's still there after 50 long winter,
And all you see is his scalp.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my leader to me, to me
Bring back, bring back,
O 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 had 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 mind our behavior,
Why that's what will happen to us.
Chorus

Where they cut down the old pine tree, TIMBER! And they hauled it
away to the mill, tra, la, la!
The Song That Never Ends
It is the song that never ends,
It just goes on and on my friends.
Some people, started singing it,
Not knowing what it was
And they’ll continue singing it forever just because…
Repeat…
Bug Juice
(Tune: On Top of Old Smokey)
At camp with the Cub Scouts,
They gave us a drink.
We thought it was kool-aid
Because it was pink.
But the drink that they gave us
Would have grossed out a moose.
For the good tasting pink drink,
Was really bug juice.
It looks fresh and fruity,
Like tasty koolaid.
But the bugs that are 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.
Next time you drink bug juice
And a fly drives you mad.
He's just getting even
'Cause you swallowed his dad.
Scout Marching Song
The scouts go marching one by one.
Hurrah, Hurrah.
The scouts go marching one by one.
Hurrah, Hurrah.
The scouts go marching one by one,
The little one stops to have some fun.
Chorus:
And they all go marching,
In ... to the tent ...
To get out ... of the rain
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Verses:
Two by two ... to tie his shoe
Three by three ... to climb a tree
Four by four ... to close the door
Five by five ... to peek in a hive
Six by six ... to pick up sticks
Seven by seven ... to look at heaven
Eight by eight ... to shut the gate
Nine by nine ... to tell the time
Ten by ten ... to say THE END

America The Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain.
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shinning sea.
O beautiful for patriot's dreams
That sees beyond the years.
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee.
And crown thy good, with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
This Land Is Your Land
(By Woodie Guthrie)
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the Gulfstream water
This land was made for you and me.
As was walking, that ribbon of highway
I looked above me, there in the sky-way
I looked below me, in the golden valley
This land was made for you and me.
(repeat first verse)
God Bless America
God bless America, Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her,
Thru the night with the light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam.
God bless America, my home, sweet, home;
God bless America, my home, sweet, home.
HE HEARS
(Tune: On top of old Smokey)
My God is so great
and I am so small,
but it doesn't matter
he hears when I call!
He hears when I whisper,
he hears when I shout
he hears my "thank you"
'cause I'm a Cub Scout.
SCOUTMASTER'S HYMN
On top of Old Smokey, all covered with snow.
I learned a great lesson, all people should know.
I met a scoutmaster, a helper of youth.
He was roaming God's mountains, in search of the truth.
He told me he found it, in the red sunset' glow.
In the voice of the thunder, in the touch of the snow.
His truth was quite simple, as plain as could be.
I'll never forget what that leader told me.
Do your duty to God, to the red, white, and blue.
To all others be helpful, and to thine own self be true.

God’s Love is Like a Circle
(tune: “Puff the Magic Dragon”)
God’s love is like a circle,
A circle big and round.
And when you see a circle
No ending can be found.
That’s how it is with God’s love,
Goes on eternally,
Forever and forever more
I know that God loves me.
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
John Newton 1725-1807 (stanza 6 Anon)
Scout Vesper
Tune: "Tannenbaum"
Softly falls the light of day,
While our campfire fades away.
Silently each scout should ask:
"Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to be prepared.?"
Cub Scout Vespers
(Tune: "O Tannenbaum")
As the night comes to this land,
On my promise I will stand.
I will help the Pack to go,
As the Pack helps me to grow.
Yes, I will always give goodwill,
I'll follow my Akela still.
And before I stop to rest
I will do my very best.
Daylight Taps
(same tune as "Taps")
Thanks and praise, For our days
'Neath the sun, 'Neath the stars
'Neath the sky, As we go
This we know, God is nigh.
TAPS for Cubs
As we close, each Cub Scout knows,
What it means to be fair,
To be true.
To be proud of the gold,
And the blue.
TAPS
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, From the sky.
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.
