A Ship Came From China
A ship came from China with a cargo of tea,
All laden with treasure for you and for me,
It brought me a fan and imagine my bliss,
As I fanned myself daily like this, like this,
As I fanned myself daily like this.
(With each verse, add one more action. Fan one
hand, both hands,
one leg, both legs, nod head.)
A Tisket, A Tasket
A tisket, a tasket,
A green and yellow basket,
I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it.
Someone of you picked it up
And put it in their pocket.
It isn't you, it isn't you.
It isn't you, it isn't you.
Alice the Camel
Alice the camel had 5 humps.
Alice the camel had 5 humps.

All Night, All Day
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Angels watching over me my Lord
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Angels watching over me.
Chorus:
All night, all day
Angels watching over me, my Lord.

Angels watching over me
If I die before I wake
Angels watching over me my Lord
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Angels watching over me.

Bug Juice
(tune: On Top Of Old Smokey)
At a 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 that good 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.
Next time you drink bug juice,
And a fly drives you mad.
He's just getting even,
'Cause you swallowed his Dad.
Bye-bye Long Johns

Flap-door behind me
If I'm missing, you'll know
where to find me
I have lost my underwear
I don't care, I'll go bare
Long johns, bye-bye
Calamine Lotion
(Tune: My Bonnie)
My body has calamine lotion
My body's as sore as can be
The flowers that I picked for Granny
Turned out to be poison ivy

It will itch bad, it will itch bad
And it looks mighty worse than acne
Cat Came Back
Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave its
home;
He tried and he tried to give the cat away,
He gave it to a man goin' far, far away.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The man around the corner swore he'd kill the
cat on sight,
He loaded up his shotgun with nails and
dynamite;
He waited and he waited for the cat to come
around,
Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note,
Songbook

Told him for to take it up the river in a boat;
They tied a rope around its neck, it must have
weighed a pound
Now they drag the river for a little boy that's
drowned.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon,
He told him for to take it to the man in the moon;
The balloon came down about ninety miles
away,
Where he is now, well I dare not say.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a man going way out West,
Told him for to take it to the one he loved the
best;
First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the
rail,
Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome
tale.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The cat it had some company one night out in
the yard,
Someone threw a boot-jack, and they threw it
mighty hard;
It caught the cat behind the ear, she thought it
rather slight,
When along came a brick-bat and knocked the
cat out of sight
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
Away across the ocean they did send the cat at
last,
Vessel only out a day and making water fast;
People all began to pray, the boat began to toss,
A great big gust of wind came by and every soul
was lost.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
On a telegraph wire, sparrows sitting in a bunch,
The cat was feeling hungry, thought she'd like
'em for a lunch;
Climbing softly up the pole, and when she
reached the top,
Put her foot upon the electric wire, which tied
her in a knot.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The cat was a possessor of a family of its own,
With seven little kittens till there came a cyclone;
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat
around,
The air was full of kittens, and not a one was
ever found.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The atom bomb fell just the other day,
The H-Bomb fell in the very same way;
Russia went, England went, and then the U.S.A.
The human race was finished without a chance
to pray.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea

CLEMENTINE
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 doth 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 doth 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 ye Scouts all heed the warning
to this tragic tale of mine,
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation [Artificial
Respiration]
would have saved my Clementine.
COMING OF THE FROGS
[Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic]
Mine eyes have seen the horror
of the coming of the frogs.
They are sneaking through the swamps,
they are lurking under logs.
You can hear their mournful croaking
through the early morning fog.
The frogs keep hopping on.
CHORUS
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, croak, croak [Repeat 3x]
The frogs keep hopping on.
The frogs have grown in numbers,
and their croaking fills the air.
There's no place to escape to
'cause the frogs are everywhere.
They've eaten all the flies
and now they're hungry as a bear.
The frogs keep hopping on.
I used to like the bullfrogs,
like to feel their slimy skin.
Liked to put them in my teacher's desk
and take them home again.
Now they're knocking at the front door,
I can't let those frogs come in.
The frogs keep hopping on.
They have hopped into the living room
and headed down the hall.
They have trapped me in the corner
and my back's against the wall.
And when I open up my mouth
to give a desperate call.
This is all that's heard:
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, croak, croak...
Commercial Mixup
(Tune: Farmer in the Dell)
Last night I watched TV.
I saw my favorite show
I heard this strange commercial
I can't believe it's so.
Feed your dog Chiffon,
Comet cures a cold
Use SOS pads on your face
To keep from looking old.

Mop your floor with Crest.
Use Crisco on your tile.
Clean your teeth with Borateem,
It leaves a shining smile.
For headaches take some Certs,
Use Tide to clean your face.
And do shampoo with Elmer's Glue
It holds your hair in place.
Perhaps I am confused.
I might not have it right.
But one things that I'm certain of. . .
I'll watch TV. tonight!

Day I Went to Sea
When I was one, I sucked my thumb,
The day I went to sea,
I climbed aboard the battleship

And that's the life for me.

Verse 1:
"Will it go around the chockstone?" called the

need.
Oh he ain't gonna climb no more!
Chorus
Verse 3:
The belayer felt the rope pull taught and tried to
let it run.

time had come.
He left the ledge behind him and it shot up
toward the sun.
Oh he ain't gonna climb no more!
Chorus
Verse 4:

One had a rope around his neck and a piton

And as they lay there rolling in the welter of their
gore.

Chorus
Verse 8:
There was blood upon the rucksacks, there

And ended up as chops

I've got the faith that fosters fonder friendships
down in my heart.
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart.

Joy is Like the Rain
I saw raindrops on my window
Joy is like the rain
Laughter runs across my pain
Slips away and comes again
Joy is like the rain.
I saw clouds upon a mountain
Joy is like the cloud
Sometimes silver sometimes grey
Always sun not far away
Joy is like the cloud.
I saw raindrops on the river
Joy is like the rain
Bit by bit the river grows
Till all at once it overflows
Joy is like the rain
Joy is like the rain.

Scooping up the field mouse
And bop him on the head.
And down came the good fairy and she said:

Scooping up the field mouse
And bop him on the head
Now I'm going to give you three chances
Before I turn you into a goon
And the next day....

Now I gave you three chances
And now I'm going to turn you into a goon
The moral of the story is
Hare today, goon tomorrow.

Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many
They roll all over the floor.

MORNING HAS BROKEN
Morning has broken, like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the word.
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dew fall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's re-creation of the new day.

I am the sunrise, warming the heavens,
Spilling my warm glow over the earth.
Praise for the brightness of this new morning,
Filling my spirit with Your great love.
Mine is a turning, mine is a new life,
Mine is a journey closer to You.
Praise for the sweet glimpse, caught in a
moment,
Joy breathing deeply, dancing in flight.

My Bonnie's complexion was makeup,
her face, it was beauteous to see;
Until she got caught in a rainstorm,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank,
the height of its contents to see;
I lighted a match to assist her,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
My Bonnie has tuberculosis,
my Bonnie has only one lung,
My Bonnie can cough up raw oysters,
and roll them around on her tongue.
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
last night as I lay on my bed,
I stuck my feet out the window,
next morning my neighbors were dead.

My Dead Dog Rover
Tune: "I'm Looking Over a Four-leaf Clover"
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover,
That I over-ran with the mower.
One leg is missing the other is gone.
The third one is scattered all over the lawn.
No need explaining the one remaining
It's splattered on the kitchen door.
I'm looking over my dead dog rover,
that I over-ran with the mower.
Another verse --
I'm looking over
My dead dog Rover
That I overlooked before
One leg is broken, the other is maimed,
The third I ran over with my CoCo Puff train.
No use explaining,
The parts remaining,
They're mangled beyond repair.
I'm looking over
My dead Dog Rover
That I overlooked,
(Big finish)
That I overlooked,
That I overlooked before.
My Dog Rags
I have a dog and his name is Rags
He eats so much that his tummy sags
His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags
And when he walks, he walks zig zag
He goes flip flop, a wig wag, a zig zag
He goes flip flop, a wig wag, a zig zag
I love Rags and he loves me.
My dog Rags he loves to play
He rolls around in the mud all day
And when I whistle he won't obey
He always runs the other way
He goes flip flop a wig wag, a zig zag
He goes flip flop a wig wag, a zig zag
I love Rags and he loves me.
My Hat it has Three Corners
My hat (touch head on the word - hat)
It has three corners (touch each elbow -

corners)
It wouldn't be my hat (touch head - hat)

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 winters,
And all you can 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, 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.

Don't mention my supper to me.
CHORUS
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.

Upon the road you're such a blot.
Oh Doggie Spot, Oh Doggie Spot,
Upon the road you're such a blot.
Out in the lane you boldly went,
Now your bod's not worth a cent!
Oh Doggie Spot, Oh Doggie Spot,
Upon the road you're such a blot.

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 down the garden, and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but
mush!
The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be,
And then the next summer it grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered, all covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs, all covered with
sauce.
So if you have spaghetti, all covered with
cheese,
Hold onto your meatball, 'cause someone might
sneeze.

PINK PAJAMAS
Sung to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the
Republic"
I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's
hot
I wear my flannel nightie in the winter when it's
not
And sometimes in the springtime
And sometimes in the fall
I slip between the covers with nothing on at all!
Glory, glory, halleluja,
Glory, glory what's it to ya,
Balmy breezes blowin' though ya
With nothing on at all.
Polar Bear Song
(Tune: Sippin Cider)
The other day
I saw a bear
A big white bear
I had to stare.
He stared right back
And seemed to grin.
His long white fangs
Hung to his chin.
He moved toward me
Upon four paws.
And those four paws
Held six-inch claws.
I couldn’t move.
My feet were froze,
As I saw steam
Shoot from his nose.
But I was safe
Because I knew,
This polar bear
Was at the zoo.
Pollution Song
Tune: My Bonnie
The litter blows over the highway,
The litter blows over the park;
Unless we do something to stop it,
The world will be litterly dark.

you see.
Pick up, pick up, oh pick up the litter you see.

Are spewing exhaust in the air.
We're leading our world to extinction
And yet just don't seem to care.
Bring back, bring back, bring back a clean world
to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back, please bring back a
clean world to me.
God gave us clean air for our breathing,
But we just don't keep it that way;
Instead we pollute it from smokestacks
And breathe in the garbage each day!
Bring back, bring back, bring back a clean world
to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back, please bring back a
clean world to me

In our costumes bright and gay.

And sing Pumpkin carols tonight.
Oh, Pumpkin bells! Pumpkin bells!
Ringing loud and clear.
Oh what fun Great Pumpkin brings.

The first aid that they give you, they say is

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 friend of
mine
The spagetti 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/cabins 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/her yet.

A sipping cider from a straw.
And now I have a mother-in-law,
And fourteen kids to call me Pa.
The moral of this little tale,
Is sip your cider from a pail!

Wibble wobble, wibble wobble.

Just tell all my friends that I'm a coming too,

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 (The other day)
I saw a bear (I saw a bear)
A great big bear (A great big bear)
A way up there (A way up there)
Everyone:
The other day I saw a bear
A great big bear a way up there
[Continue this pattern throughout the song.]
I looked at him
He looked at me
I sized up him
He sized up me
He says to me
Why don't you run
I see you ain't
Got any gun
I said to him
That's a good idea
So come on feet
Let's get out of here
And so I ran
Away from there
But right behind
Me was that bear
But ahead of me
There was a tree
A great big tree
Oh, Glory Be!
But the lowest branch
Was ten feet up
I'd have to trust
My luck to jump
And so I jumped
Into the air
But I missed that branch
A way up there
Now don't you fret
Now don't you frown
'Cause I caught that branch
On the way back down
That's all there is
There ain't no more
Unless I meet
That bear once more
The Bear Went Over the Mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see.
And all that he could see,
And all that he could see,
Was the other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see.

THE COO-COO BIRD
In the springtime around the lake,
As I wandered along,
I spied a young coo-coo bird,
A singing this song.

The Cremation of Sam McGee
There are strange things done 'neath the
midnight sun
by the men who moil for gold.
The arctic trails have their secret tales
that would make your blood run cold.
The northern lights have seen queer sights
but the queerest they ever did see,
was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge
when I cremated Sam McGee.
Now Sam McGee was from Tenessee
where the cotton blooms and blows.
Why he left his home in the south to roam
'round the poles, God only knows.
He was always cold, but the land of gold
seemed to hold him like a spell,
though he'd often say in his homely way
that he'd sooner live in Hell.
On a Christmas day we were mushing our way
over the Dawson trail.
Talk of your cold, through the parka's fold
it stabbed like a driven nail.
If our eyes we'd close, then the lashes froze
'til sometimes we couldn't see.
It wasn't much fun, but the only one
to whimper was Sam McGee.
And that very night while we lay packed tight
in our robes beneath the snow,
and the dogs were fed, and the stars o'er head
were dancing heel and toe,
he turns to me, and "Cap" says he
"I'll cash in this trip, I guess.
And if I do, I'm asking that you
won't refuse my last request."
Well, he looked so low that I couldn't say no,
then he says with a sort of a moan,
"It's the cursed cold, it's got right hold
'til I'm chilled clean through to the bone.
Yet tain't being dead, it's my awful dread
of an icy grave that pains.
So I want you to swear that foul or fair,
you'll cremate my last remains."
Well, a friend's last need is a thing to heed,
so I swore I would not fail.
We started on at the streak of dawn,
but, God, he looked ghastly pale!
He crouched on the sleigh, and he raved all day
of his home in Tenessee,
and before nightfall, a corpse was all
that was left of Sam McGee.
There wasn't a breath in that land of death,
and I hurried on, horror stricken.
With a corpse half hid, that I couldn't get rid,
because of a promise I'd given.
It was lashed to the sleigh, and it seemed to say,
"You may tax your brawn and your brains,
but you promised true, and it's up to you
to cremate these last remains."

And every day that quiet clay
seemed to heavy and heavier grow.
But on I went, though the dogs were spent
and the grub was getting low.
The trail was bad, and I felt half mad,
but I swore I would not give in.
And I'd often sing to the hateful thing
and it harkened with a grin!
Then I came to the marge of Lake LeBarge
and a derelict there lay.
It was choked with ice, but I say in a thrice
it was named the "Alice May".
I looked at it, and I thought a bit,
then I turned to my frozen chum,
and "This" said I with a sudden cry
"is my crematorium!"
Some planks I tore from the cabin floor
and lit the boiler fire.
Some coal I found that was lying around
and heaped the fuel higher.
The furnace roared and the flames they soared,
such a blaze you seldom see.
Then I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal
and I stuffed in Sam McGee.
Then I made a hike, for I didn't like
to hear him sizzle so.
And the heavens scowled and the huskies
howled
and the wind began to blow.
It was icy cold, but the hot sweat rolled
down my cheeks, I don't know why.
And the greasy smoke in an inky cloak
went streaking down the sky.
I do not know how long in the snow
I wrestled with grisly fear.
But the stars were out and they danced about
'ere again I ventured near.
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said
"I'll just take a peek inside.
He's probably cooked, it's time I looked."
Then the door I opened wide.
And there sat Sam, looking cold and calm
in the heart of the furnace roar.
He wore a smile you could see a mile,
and he said "Please shut that door!
It's warm in here, but I greatly fear
you'll let in the cold and storm.
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tenessee,
it's the first time I've been warm."
There are strange things done 'neath the
midnight sun
by the men who moil for gold.
The arctic trails have their secret tales
that would make your blood run cold.
The northern lights have seen strange sights,
but the queerest they ever did see
was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge
when I cremated Sam McGee.

THE HAPPY WANDERER
I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain track,
And as a go I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
CHORUS
Valderi, Valdera, Valderi,
Valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Valderi, Valdera,
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.
I wave my hat to all I meet
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet,
From every greenwood tree.
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.
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die.
And may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God's clear blue sky

Three Blind Mice, three blind mice,

As three blind mice.
Three Little Fishies
Down in the meadow in an itty bitty pool,
Swam three little fishies and a mommy fishie

"Swim" said the momma fishie, "Swim if you
can"
And they swam and they swam right over the
dam.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.

And they swam and they swam right over the
dam.
"Stop" cried the mommy fish "or you will get
lost."
But the three little fishies didn't want to be
bossed.
The three little fishies went off on a spree,
And they swam and they swam right out to the
sea.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
And they swam and they swam right out to the
sea.
"Whee" squealed the fishies, "We're havin' some
fun.
We'll swim in the sea till the day is done."
They swam and they swam until it was dark;
When all of a sudden, they saw a shark.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark.
"Help," cried the fishies, "Look at the whale."
And quick as they could, they turned on their
tails.
And back to the itty bitty pool they swam
And they swam and they swam back over the
dam.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
Boop boop ditem datem whatem choo.
And they swam and they swam back over the
dam.

And find new things to do every day.
Chorus:
Relax, relax on the trail.
Float over the waves all day,
Or glide through the clouds.
Far over the crowds,
But be home before five every day.
On a broomstick we’ll ride,
In a rowboat we’ll glide.
Take a trip to the moon in a rocket;
And our trip will be fun..
But it soon will be done.
If we happen to hit an air pocket.

Or deep on the floor.
Of the sea, let’s explore,
And as Cubs always have fun!

THRIFTY saving for a need,
BRAVE and not a faker.
CLEAN in thought and word and deed, and
REVERENT to his Maker.

And neighbors too is fun.
I say a prayer to God
When my sharing is done.
I'm sharing all day long.

Willies Underwear
(sung like the old fashioned barber shop quartet
would sing it...)
On the night that Willie died...hum
He called me to his side........hum
And he gave me his dirty underwear...dirty
underwear.
They were baggy at the knees.........hum
And they smelled like liver cheese...hum
Oh the dirty underwear that Willie wore...that
Willie wore.
Oh I threw them in the sky.....hum
And the birds refused to fly...hum
Oh the dirty underwear that Willie wore...that
Willie wore.
Oh I threw them in the well...hum
And the rats they ran like....heck...hum
Oh the dirty underwear that Willie wore...that
Willie wore.
Now Willie's dead and gone...hum
But his underwear live on....hum
And they're hangin' on the line for all to see...for
all to see.
Now remember and remember well...hum
For you can't avoid the smell....hum
Of the underwear that's Willie's memory...Willie's
memory!
Worms
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Songbook
Not for commercial reproduction under any circumstances except to cover the cost
of reproduction.
Think I'll go and eat worms;
Long thin skinny ones;
Big fat juicy ones,
See how they wriggle and squirm.
Bite their heads off,
Suck their blood out,
Throw their skins away,
Nobody knows how much I thrive
On worms three times a day.
Long thin skinny ones slip down easily,
Big fat juicy ones stick;
Hold your head back,
Squeeze their tail,
And their juice just goes drip, drip.
Yogi

I know someone you don't know, Yogi, Yogi.
I know someone you don't know, Yogi, Yogi
Bear.
Yogi, Yogi Bear, Yogi, Yogi Bear,
I know someone you don't know, Yogi, Yogi
Bear.
Yogi has a little friend, Boo-Boo, Boo-Boo....
... enemy, Ranger, Ranger
... Ranger Smith
They all live in Jellystone, Jelly, Jelly
They all live in Jellystone, Jelly, Jellystone.
Yogi has a girl friend too, Cindy, Cindy,
Yogi has a girl friend too, Cindy, Cindy Bear
You are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray,
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
Zoo Song
Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow
Zoo tomorrow
Zoo tomorrow
Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow
And we can stay all day.
Chorus:
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you ?
You can come too, too, too.
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.
See the elephants with their long trunks
swinging,
Great big ears and long trunk swinging
Snuffing up the peanuts with their long trunk
swinging
We can stay all day.
See all the monkeys scratch, scratch, scratching
Jumping all around and scratch, scratch,
scratching
Hanging from their long tails scratch, scratch,
scratching
We can stay all day.
Seals in the pool all honk, honk, honking
Catching fish and honk, honk, honking
Little seals honk, honk, honking
We can stay all day.
Big black bear all huff, huff, a puffin',
Coat's too heavy he's huff, huff, a puffin',
Don't get too near his huff, huff, a puffin'
Or you won't stay all day.
We've stayed all day and we're getting sleepy,
Sittin' in the car and getting sleep, sleep, sleepy,
Home already AND we're sleep, sleep, sleepy
We have stayed all day.
Chorus:
We've been to the zoo, zoo, zoo
So have you, you, you,
You've been too, too, too
You've been to the zoo, zoo, zoo.
