BARGES

Out of my window, looking in the night

I can see the barges’ flickering lightSilently flows the river to the sea

And the barges too go silently

CHORUS:Barges, I would like to go with youI would like to sail the ocean blue

Barges have you treasures in your holdDo you fight with pirates brave and bold

Out of my window, looking in the night

I can see the barges’ flickering lightStarboard shines green and port is glowing red

I can see them flickering far aheadCHORUS

How my heart longs to sail away with you

As you sail across the ocean blueBut I must sit beside my window dearAnd watch you sail away from here

CHORUS

Out of my window looking in the nightI can see the barges’ flickering lightHarbor ahead and anchorage in viewI will find my resting place with you

CHORUS

Away from my window on into the nightI will watch ‘til they are out of sight

Taking their cargo far across the seaHow I’d wish that someday they would take me

CHORUS

Out of my window looking through the nightI can see the barges' flickering lightPeople are sailing far and far awayAnd I hope to go with them one day

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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 CHORUS

BLACK SOCKS

Black socks, they never get dirty,The longer you wear them,

The blacker they get,Sometimes I think about washing

But something inside me says, "Oh no, not yet!"

The shorter they get,Sometimes I think about anklets


Girl Scouts, they never are quietThe longer you're near them,

The louder they getSometimes I think about muzzles

CHICKEN LIPS AND LIZARD HIPS(Tune of Jingle Bells)

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 couldn’t get enough. I asked the cook to tell me

What is in this stuff?

CHORUS:Ohhhh, Chicken lips, lizard hips, alligator eyes

Monkey legs, buzzard eggs and salamander thighsRabbit ears, camel rears, tasty toenail pies

Stir them all together, it’s called the cook’s surprise

I went into the bathroom and stood beside the sinkI 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.”

Thanks for the donut – toodooloo!

DUNDERBECK

CHORUS:Oh Dunderbeck, Oh Dunderbeck

How could you be so meanto ever have invented the sausage meat machine

Now all the neighbors’ cats and dogs will never more be seen

‘Cause they've been ground to sausage meat in Dunderbeck’s machine

One day a little fat boy came walking in the store

He bought a pound of sausage meat and laid it on the floorThen he began to whistle; he whistled up a tune

And all the little sausage meat went dancing around the room

CHORUS

One day the machine got busted, the darn thing wouldn't work

So Dunderbeck he crawled inside to see what made it quirkHis wife she had a nightmare; she walked in her sleep

And she gave the machine a whicky whack And Dunderbeck was meat.

I’ve tucked away a song or two,

When you’re feeling low, there’s one for youIf you need a friend, then I will come

And there’s many more where I come fromCHORUS

Come with me where a fire burns brightWe can even see better by candle’s light

We can find more meaning in a campfire’s glowThan we ever learned in a year or so

ON THE LOOSE Judith Keller

CHORUS: On the loose to climb a mountain, on the loose where I am

freeOn the loose to live my life the way I think my life should beFor I've only got a moment and this whole world yet to see

I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose

Have you ever watched the sunrise turn the sky completely red?

Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine bough for your bed?

Do you sit and talk with friends though not a word is ever said?

Then you're just like me and you've been on the loose CHORUS

There's a trail that I'll be hiking just to see where it might go

Many places yet to visit, many people yet to knowAnd in following my dreams, I will live and I will grow

On a trail that's waiting out there on the loose CHORUS

Have you ever heard a whippoorwill singing to the morning dew?

When you hear the bells ringing, do you know they ring for you?

And when you look back on the past, all I really askIs to remember me when you're out on the loose CHORUS

So in search of love and laughter I'll be traveling 'cross this land

Never sure of where I'm going for I haven't any planAnd in time when you are ready, come and join me, take

my handAnd together we'll share life out on the loose CHORUS

As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight slowly fadesI am thinking of tomorrow and the friendships we have

madeI will value them for always and I hope you'll do the same

And forever we'll explore life on the loose CHORUS

ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off of the table, and onto the floor.

Then my poor meatball, rolled right through the door.

It rolled into the garden, and under a bush,And now my poor meatball is nothing but mush.

PERCY THE PALE FACE POLAR BEAR

Way up north where the cold wind blows, The temperature drops to 40 below.Who’s the friendliest one we know –

Percy, the pale face polar bear.

Sleeps all day and then at night, Catch a few fish by the pale moonlight.

Has no worries, has no cares – Percy, the pale face polar bear.

Then one day a hunter came,

Grabbed old Percy by the snout.Put him in a great big cage,

And he howled and he growled, but he couldn’t get out.

So they put him in a zoo, Funny thing is he liked it too.

‘Cus he met his girlfriend there, And she likes – Percy, the pale face polar bear.

WHO? Percy, the pale face polar bear.

PINK PAJAMAS

I went downstairs for breakfast. I ordered ham and eggs.

I also got a pickle. The juice ran down my legs.CHORUS

My mother is an agent. My father is a spy.And I’m the little big mouth who told the FBI.

CHORUS

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 put it on,It’s a great big happy smile.

SOFTLY FALLS

Softly falls the light of dayAs our campfire fades away.

Silently each Scout should ask,

Have I done my daily task?

Have I kept my honor bright?Can I guiltless rest tonight?

Have I done and have I dared,

Everything to be prepared.

I have kept my honor bright,I can guiltless rest tonight.

I have done and I have dared,

Everything to be prepared.

TAPS

Day is done, gone the sunFrom the lakes, from the hills

From the sky

All is well, safely restGod is nigh

THERE WAS A GIRL SCOUT(Tune of BINGO)

There was a Girl Scout long ago

And Daisy was her name-o

D-A-I-S-YD-A-I-S-YD-A-I-S-Y

And Daisy was her name-o

THIS WAY VALERIE(Tune of SHORTENIN’ BREAD)

This game works best with a fairly large group. You will need to have the girls get a buddy and then form 2 lines with the buddies facing each other. As soon as you have them in 2 straight lines, they can start singing the song:

This way Valerie, that way Valerie,This way Valerie, all the way home.

Girls join hands with their buddy and sing this part while

moving arms in a sawing motion – back and forth

Strut Miss Lucy, strut Miss Lucy,Strut Miss Lucy, all the way home.

Head girl in one line passes between the 2 lines making up

any movement she wishes and falls in at the foot of the opposite line

Here comes another one, just like the other one.

Here comes another one, all the way home.

Buddy of the previous girl copies the movements just done by her buddy as she passes between the 2 lines and then

joins the foot of the opposite line.

Both lines move up a little bit and repeat the song over and over and over again until everyone has had a turn.

The girls will eventually start getting quite creative in their

actions if you play this many times.

THREE CHARTREUSE BUZZARDS

Three chartreuse buzzards,Three chartreuse buzzards

Sitting in a dead tree,Sitting in a dead tree

Oh look, one has flown awayThat is too bad

Two… One…

No chartreuse buzzards,No chartreuse buzzardsSitting in a dead tree,Sitting in a dead tree

Oh look, one has re-turnedLet us re-joice

One…Two…

Three chartreuse buzzards,Three chartreuse buzzards

Sitting in a dead tree,Sitting in a dead treeNow they’re all here

This is the end

TURKEY SONG

There is a little turkeyHe wears some funny pants

And when he gets excitedHe does the turkey dance

Doo do doo, doo do doo, do do doDoo do doo, doo do doo, do do do

There is a little turkeyHe wears a funny wig

And when he gets excited

He does a turkey jig


There is a little turkey

He likes to shake and move

And when he gets excited He does his turkey groove


There was a little turkeyHe used to run and play

But now he is my dinnerOn Thanksgiving Day!


WAY DOWN YONDER

Way down yonder not far awayA blue jay died of a whooping cough

He whooped and he whooped

and he whooped so hardHe blew his head and his tail right off

Second verse same as the first

A little bit louder and whole lot worse

WHENE’ER YOU MAKE A PROMISE

Whene’er you make a promiseConsider well its importance

And when made, engrave it upon your heart

PATRIOTIC SONGS

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFULKatharine Lee Bates, Samuel Ward

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 brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea!

MY COUNTRY ‘TIS OF THEE

Rev. Samuel F. Smith

My country, 'tis of Thee,Sweet Land of Liberty

Of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died,Land of the pilgrims' pride,

From every mountain sideLet Freedom ring.

STAR SPANGLED BANNERFrancis Scott Key

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 thru the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

YOU’RE A GRAND OLD FLAGGeorge Cohan

You're a grand old flag,You're a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave.

You're the emblem ofThe land I love.

The home of the free and the brave.

Ev'ry heart beats true'neath the Red, White and Blue,

Where there's never a boast or brag.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

The Lord is good to meAnd so I thank the Lord

For giving me the things I needThe sun and the rain and the apple seed

Yes, He's been good to me

I owe the Lord so muchFor everything I see

I'm certain if it weren't for HimThere'd be no apples on this limb


Oh here am I neath a blue blue skyA doin' as I please

Singin' with my feathered friends,Hummin with the bees


I wake up every day as happy as can beBecause I know that with His care

My apple trees They will still be there

And every seed that growsShall grow into a tree

And one day soon there'll be apples thereFor every one in the world to share
