Aloha

Aloha my friend

We'll see you again

Around the campfire on land or at sea

Girl Scouts together we'll always be

And though we may part

You're friendship will live in my heart

May God go with you to guide your way

Aloha my friend.

America

My country! ‘tis of thee,

Sweet land of liberty,

Of thee I sing;

Land where my father's died,

Land of the pilgrims’ pride,

From every mountain side

Let freedom ring.

My native country, thee,

Land of the noble free,

Thy name I love;

I love thy rocks and rills,

Thy woods and templed hills,

My heart with rapture thrills

Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,

And ring from all the trees,

Sweet freedom’s song;

Let mortal tongues awake,

Let all that breathe partake,

Let rocks their silence break,

The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God to thee

Author of Liberty,

To thee we sing;

Long may our land be bright

With freedom’s holy light,

Protect us by thy might,

Great God, our King.

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 shining sea.

O, beautiful for pilgrim feet,

Whose stern impassioned stress,

A thoroughfare for freedom beat,

Across the wilderness!

America! America! God mend thine every flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in law

O, beautiful for heroes proved

In liberating strife

Who more that self their country loved

And mercy more than life!

America! America! May God thy gold refine,

Till all success be nobleness,

And every gain divine!

O, beautiful for patriot dream,

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.

An Austrian Went in Yodeling

An Austrian went yodeling on a mountain so high,

When along came a avalanche interrupting his cry!

Chorus:

Yo-delaaayyy, keeee....

Yo-delayy ki ki, yo-delayy ki koo, ki koo

Yo-delayy ki, ki, yo!

Announcements

Announcements, announcements, announcements!

What a horrible way to die,

What a horrible way to be talked to death,

What a horrible way to die.

Have you ever seen a windbag,

A windbag, a windbag,

Have you ever seen a windbag,

A windbag like her (point at leader).

Make your speeches nice and short,

Nice and short, nice and short,

Make your speeches nice and short,

We don't like them!

The window, the window,

With a heave ho and a mighty throw,

They threw her out the window!

We sold our cow, we sold our cow,

We have no use, for your bull now.

Rent a nag, rent a nag, rent a nag today,

Our directors are the best in each and every way, Hey!

Baby Bumble Bee

I'm bringing home my baby bumble bee,

Won't my mommy be so proud of me,

I'm bringing home my baby bumble bee,

Ouch! It stung me.

I'm squishing up my baby bumble bee...

Oh! What a mess!

I'm licking up my baby bumble bee...

Oh! I feel sick!

I'm barfing up my baby bumble bee,

Oh! What a mess!

I'm mopping up my baby bumble bee,

Now my mommy likes that!

Banana Slug Rock

Words: Motions:

Baaaaaaaaa (beating your tummy)

Naaaaaaaaa (beating your chest)

Nuhhhhhhhh (beating your head)

Slug! Slug! Slug! Slug! (making slugs - aka "hang loose" - with your hands)

To the tune of Twist and Shout:

Baaaa Na Nuh Slug, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba

Barges

Out of my window looking in the night

I can see the barges flickering light.

Silently flows the river to the sea

And the barges they go silently.

Chorus:

Barges, I would like to go with you

I would like to sail the ocean blue.

Barges, have you treasure in your hold

Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

Out of my window looking in the night

I can see the barge's flickering light.

Starboard shines green and port is glowing red

You can see them flickering far ahead.

Chorus

How my heart longs to sail away with you

As you sail across the ocean blue.

But I must stay beside my window drear

As I watch you sail away from here.

Chorus

Out of my window looking from my bed

I can see the barges far ahead.

Taking their cargo far across the sea

Oh I wish that someday they'd take me.

Bazooka Bubblegum

My Mom gave me a penny

She said go eat at Denny's

But I didn't eat at Denny's

Instead I bought some bubblegum,

Bazooka Zooka bubblegum

Bazooka Zooka bubblegum.

My Mom gave me a nickel

She said go buy a pickle...

My Mom gave me a dime

She said go buy a lime...

My Mom gave me a quarter

She said go buy some water

My Mom gave me a one

She said go have some fun

My Mom gave me a five

She said go stay alive

But I didn't stay alive

Instead I choked on bubblegum...

The Bear (repeat song)

The other day

I met a bear

Out in the woods

Oh way out there

He looked at me

I looked at him

He sized up me

I sized up him.

He says to me

Why don't you run?

I see you ain't

Got any gun.

And so I ran

Away from there.

But right behind

Me was that bear.

Ahead of me,

There was a tree.

A great big tree,

Oh glory be!

The nearest branch

Was 10 feet up.

I'd have to jump

And trust my luck.

And so I jumped,

Into the air.

But I missed that branch

On the way up there.

No don't you fret,

And don't you frown.

'Cause I caught that branch

On the way back down.

This is the end,

There ain't no more.

Unless I meet,

That bear once more.

Birdie Song

Way up in the sky, the little birds fly

While down in the nest, the little birds rest.

With a wing on the left, and a wing on the right,

The little birds sleep, all through the night.

SHHHHHHH! They're Sleeping!

THE BRIGHT SUN COMES UP

THE DEW FALLS AWAY

GOOD MORNING! GOOD MORNING!

THE LITTLE BIRDS SAY!

Black Socks

(can be done as a round)

Black socks they never get dirty

The longer you wear them the blacker they get.

Someday I think I shall wash them

But something inside me says don't do it yet.

Not yet, Not yet, Not yet.

Boy Scouts, they never get smarter

The long you teach them

The dumber they get.

Some day, I think I shall marry one,

Something keeps telling me,

Don't do it yet!

Not yet, Not yet, Not yet.

Girl Scouts, they never shut up,

The more that you shush them,

The louder they get.

Some day, I think I shall tape their mouths,

Something keeps telling me,

Don't do it yet!

Not yet, Not yet, Not yet.

Thin Mints, they only come once a year

Buy some and freeze them,

They're not in the stores.

Thin Mints, they're so very tasty

The more that you eat them

The more you want more

And more and more and more.

Boom Chicka Boom (repeat song)

I said a boom chicka boom

I said a boom chicka rocka, chicka rocka, chicka boom

Chorus:

Uh huh

Oh yeah

One more time

Chorus

Bring Me a Rose

Bring me a rose in the winter time,

When it's hard to find.

Bring me a rose in the winter time,

I've got roses on my mind.

For a rose is sweet most anytime and yet,

Bring me a rose in the winter time

Oh how easy we forget.

(repeat above replacing underlined words with these:)

Bring me a smile when I'm all alone,

I've got smilin' on my mind.

Bring me a friend when I'm far from home.

I've got friendship on my mind.

Brownie Smile Song

I've got something in my pocket

That belongs across my face,

I keep it very close at hand

In a most convenient place.

I'm sure you couldn't guess it

If you guessed a long, long while.

So I'll take it out and I'll put it on,

It's a great big brownie smile!

I've got something in my pocket

That I found behind that log

My leader said to "Put it Back!"

But I want to keep this frog.

It's cool and green and slimy

As it wiggles in my hand.

I also found a wooly worm

And a pocket full of sand!

Buddies and Pals

You and me, we're going to be partners

You and me, we're going to be pals

You and me, we're going to be partners, buddies and pals.

Butano Song

Friendly gathering place

Starlit skies above

Redwood covered hills

Outdoors that I love
