Billboards (Tune: Superfragilisticespyalladocious) 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 its work and this it what I saw: "Smoke Coca-Cola Cigarettes -- chew Wrigley's Spearmint beer -- Kennel Ration Dog Food keeps your wife's complexion clear; Simonize your baby with a Cadbury'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 Fridgidaire -- Learn to play piano in your winter underwear -- Doctors say that babies should smoke until they are three, And people over 65 should bathe in Lipton Tea!" (slowly)....in flow-thru tea bags.


Switch (Tune: Reuben and Rachel) I don't care if I go crazy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Switch. Crazy go I, if care don't I 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Switch.


My Uncle Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean) (Substitute someone else's name for "uncle" if you wish) My uncle 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 uncle to me, to me. Bring back, bring back, O bring back my uncle to me, to me. My uncle 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 uncle had faith in a sailboat He had built from an old hollow tree. My uncle set sail for Australia, Now my uncle lies under the sea. Chorus My uncle 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 uncle 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.


My Tall Silk Hat (Tune: Funiculi, Funicula) One day, as I was riding on the subway, My tall silk hat, my tall silk hat. I laid it on the seat beside me, My tall silk hat, my tall silk hat. A big, a-fat-a-lady sat upon it, My tall silk hat, my tall silk hat. A big, a-fat-a-lady sat upon it, My tall silk hat, my tall silk hat. Christopher Columbo, now what do think of that, A big, a-fat-a-lady sat upon it, My tall silk hat, my tall silk hat. My hat she broke and that's no joke, My hat she broke and that's no joke. Christopher Col umbo, now what do think of that, my hat, my hat, my hat she smashed.


The Tree Toad (Tune: Auld Lang Syne) A tree toad loved a fair she toad That lived up in a tree; She was a fair three-toed tree toad But a two-toed toad was he. The two-toed tree toad tried to win The she toad's friendly nod; For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground That the three-toed tree toad trod. Now three-toed tree toads have no care For two-toed tree toad love, But the two-toed tree toad fain would share A tree home up above. In vain the two-toed tree toad tried; He couldn't please her whim. In her tree toad bower with veto power, The she toad vetoed him !


Two Little Fleas (Tune: Auld Lang Syne) Two little fleas together sat They cried when one flea said; "I've had no place to lay my head, Since my old dog is dead. I've travelled far from place to place And farther will I roam. But the next old dog that shows his face Will be my home sweet home."


Sandwich Song (Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic) 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."


Great Green Gobs (Tune: Old Gray Mare, except the line in caps which is the melody to "Good Evening Friends") Version One: Great green gobs Of greasy, grimy, gerbil guts, Mutilated monkey meat, Dirty, little birdie feet! Great green gobs Of greasy, grimy gerbil guts, And me without my spoon! BUT I BROUGHT MY FORK!!! Version Two: Great green globs of Greasy, grimy gopher guts Munched up monkey meat Little birdies' dirty feet French-fried eyeballs Swimming in a pool of barf And I forgot my spoon But I got my straw... Version Three: Great green globs of Greasy, grimy gopher guts Mutilated monkey feet Chopped up baby parakeet French fried eyeballs Sailing in a cream puff Oops! I forgot my spoon... But there are straws!

Version Four: Great green gobs of greasy grimy gerbil guts, Multilated monkey meat, Itsy bitsy birdie feet, French fried eye-balls, Rolling down a muddy street, And I forgot my spoon. (pause) But I got my straw! Version Five: Great green gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts, Mutilated monkey meat, Saturated birdy feet, All wrapped up in All purpose porpoise pus. And me without a spoon! Gee whiz! (but I've got a straw)


It's Not Hard It's Not Hard It's not hard I tell you so, Just sing along and go like so! Actions:

1st verse: slap hands on thighs, eight slaps to each line 2nd verse: slap hands on thighs, clap hands; 4 actions to each line 3rd verse: slap hands on thighs, clap hands, snap fingers; repeat, end by slapping hands on thighs again. This action is repeated once for each line 4th verse: slap hands on thighs, cross arms to slap hands on opposite thighs, slap hands on thighs, clap hands, snap fingers, clap hands, slap thighs. This action is repeated once for each line.

The secret to the actions is whenever you get lost, remember to always hit your knees at the word "just"! Repeat the song a number of times, getting faster. You can also try doing just the actions and no words!


Itchy Flea (leader sings one line and everyone else sings it back) Flea. Flea fly. Flea fly mosquito. Oh, no no no more mosquitos. Itchy itchy, scratchy scratchy, oh, I got one down my backy. Beat that big bad bug with the bug spray. SSSSSSsssssssssss! Here's a second version of the song, sent to me by Leslie Collins. Thanks!

Erik the Viking A Norse is a Norse of course, of course, But who's ever heard of a snoring Norse, Unless, of course, that snoring Norse is That Viking, Erik the Red. Go right to the source and ask a Norse If he ever rode on a Viking horse. A member of the Viking force Is the famous Erik the Red. Vikings like to sail around to pass the time of day. But Erik the Red will always sail after his old beard turns grey. A Norse is a Norse, of course, And the loudest of all the snoring Norse Is the famous Norse who looks like a horse, The famous, ERIK the Red.


Do your ears hang low? (Tune: Turkey in the Straw)

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 'em 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 semifore your neighbour With a minimum of labour? Do your ears hang high? 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?


Clap your hands (Tune: Jingle Bells)

Clap your hands, stamp your feet, Let's all stand up please. Face to the left, face to the right, Now hands on your knees. Sit down now, stand back up, Clap your hands two beats. Now we'll all wipe our brows, And collapse in our seats.


Bill Grogan's Goat (Audience repeats each line after Leader)

Bill Grogan's goat Was feelin' fine Ate three red shirts Right off the line Bill took a stick Gave him a whack And tied him to The railroad track The whistle blew The train drew nigh Bill Grogan's goat Was doomed to die He gave three groans Of awful pain Coughed up the shirts And flagged the train That's all there is This story's done I hope you had A lot of fun


A smile is quite a funny thing (Tune: Auld Lang Syne)

A smile is quite a funny thing, It wrinkles up your face, And when it's gone you never find Its secret hiding place. But far more wonderful it is, To see what smiles can do. You smile at one, he smiles at you, And so one smile makes two. He smiles at someone, since you smile, And then that one smiles back, And that one smiles until, in truth, You fail in keeping track. And since a smile can do great good, By cheering hearts of care. Let's smile and not forget the fact That smiles go everywhere.


Ant Marching Song The ants go marching one by one. Hurrah, Hurrah. The ants go marching one by one. Hurrah, Hurrah. The ants go marching one by one, The little one stops to shoot his gun. And they all go marching, Down to the ground to get out of the rain. (Insert the following lines, replacing one by one/to shoot his gun, etc.) 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 pick up sticks. Seven by seven to look at heaven. Eight by eight to shut the gate. Nine by nine to tell the time. The little one stops to say "this is the end". or the little on stops to start again.


Alligator The alligator is my friend. He can be your friend too. If only you would understand, That he has feelings too! Chorus: Alligator! Alligator! Can be your friend. Can be your friend. Can be your friend, too. The alligator's happy and smiles. He never sings the blues. I'd rather have him as my friend, than wear him on my shoes. (chorus) The alligator swims the swamps. He never crawls on dirt. And if you want to see my friend, You can see him on my shirt. (chorus) The alligator ate my friend. He can eat your friend, too.

Little Red Wagon (spoken rhythmically, starting quietly, each verse louder then the one before)

You can't play with my little red wagon. The axle's broken and the wheels are saggin'. Second verse, same as the first, A little bit louder and a little bit worse.

Princess Pat Chorus: "A Ric-a-dam-doo, pray what is that? It was made at home by the Princess Pat, It's red and gold, and purple-blue That's what we call The Ric-a-dam-doo, dam-doo, dam-doo" The Song: The Princess Pat (Egyptian hand movement & hips) Lived in a tree (Arms up over heads, making a tree bow) She sailed across (wave hands over water) The seven seas (Seven fingers, wave hands over water) She sailed across (Repeat hand wave over water) the Channel too (thumb and finger channel, two fingers) and took with her (sling bag over shoulder) a rickabamboo (hands wave down move hips) (chorus) A rickabamboo (hands wave down) Now what is that Its something made For the Princess Pat (repeat Egyptian move) Its red and gold (hand on right hip) and purple too (hand on left hip) That's why its called a rickabamboo (repeat motion) (chorus) Now Captain Dan (stand at Alert) and loyal crew (salute) They sailed across the channel too (as above) but their ship sank (hold noses and move body down) and your's will too (point out and finger two) if you don't take (sling bag over shoulder) a rickabamboo (hands wave down)

Princess Patricia of Cannaught was the daughter of a Governor General of Canada 1911-1914 and a grand-daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The rigabamboo is correctly the Regimental Camp Colour, affectionately known by the Princess Pat's as "The Ric-a-dam-doo".

Once a Cub Scout went to Camp (Tune: Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes) Once a cub Scout went to camp, Went to camp without his lamp, And there he saw a spider in his bed, This is what the cub Scout said: Spider spider, go away, You are not allowed to stay, This is what my leader said, 'No two bodies in one bed.'

Be Kind To Your Web-footed Friends [to the tune of "Stars and Stripes"]

Be kind to your web-footed friends For that duck may be somebody's mother, She lives on the edge of a swamp Where the weather is always damp. You may think that this is the end, Well it is but to prove that you're all liars, We're going to sing it again, But only this time we will sing a little higher. [Repeat the song but sing it a bit higher. Continue on for as many rounds as you can stand!]


Cottage In A Wood In a cottage in a wood Little old man at the window stood, Saw a rabbit running by Frightened as could be. "Help me, help me, sir," she said, "Before the huntsman shoots me dead." "Come, little rabbit, come with me, Happy we will be." Actions: Cottage - draw shape of cottage in air Little old man at the window stood - hold hands up to eyes like binoculars looking out window rabbit running by - hold hand in "peace" sign with two fingers extended to look like rabbit ears, and move hand from one side to the other in "hopping" motion frightened as could be - cross arms across chest and twist from side to side help me, help me - throw arms up in air shoots me dead - clap one hand against the other come little rabbit - "come here" gesture with finger happy we will be - stroke one hand with the other Keep repeating; with each repeat replace a line of the song with the appropriate action until no words are sung.


(Tune - "Row, Row, Row Your Boat") Soap, soap, soap and towel; towel and water please. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, wash your dirty knees. Actions - place hands on knees, and in time with the song open and close knees while swapping hands from one knee to the other when the knees come together (as in the 1920's "Charleston" dance, for those who can remember it...) If done correctly, every second time the knees move apart the right hand will be on the left knee and left hand on right knee, with the arms crossed.


The Crocodile She sailed away, on a lovely summer's day, On the back of a crocodile. "You see," said she, "he's as tame as tame can be, I'll ride him down the Nile." The croc. winked his eye, and the lady waved "goodbye", Wearing a happy smile. At the end of the ride, the lady was inside, And the smile on the crocodile! Actions: She sailed away - make motion with hands like holding the reins of a horse back - slap back of one hand with the other crocodile - hold arms in front and move apart and together like crocodile mouth tame as tame can be - stroking back of hand ride him down the Nile - make motion with hands like holding the reins of a horse winked his eye - hold hand next to eye and close fingers together for a big "wink" waved "goodbye" - wave goodbye happy smile - draw a big smile in air next to mouth with fingers lady was inside - rub stomach crocodile - as before...


Hi Ho! Nobody Home (Three part round) Hi, ho! Nobody home, Meat nor drink nor money have I none. Yet will I be merry. Explain that this song was sung by the Canadian lumberjacks as they walked home through the forest. Begin singing very quietly, gradually getting louder until at full volume, then fade away again, as though you can hear them approaching, going past and then moving away.


Yogi Bear (Tune - "Camptown Races") 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, BooBoo, BooBoo, Bear... Yogi has a sweet girlfriend, Cindy, Cindy Bear... Yogi lived in Jellystone, Jelly, Jellystone... Yogi has an enemy, Ranger, Ranger Smith... BANG!


Onni Wonni Wakki Onni wonni wakki Wah wah, Onni wonni wakki Wah wah, Aye yi yi yippi yi yi yi. Aye yi, aye yi, aye yi, aye yi The key thing with this song is not the words, but the actions! Repeat the song three times, doing the actions in rhythm with the music: During the first verse, put both hands on the knees of the person to your right, then on your own knees, then on the knees of the person to your left, then back on your own knees. During second verse, start with arms folded (not tucked in!) in front of your chest; put right hand out, put left hand on top of it, put left hand back in "folded" position, put right hand in "folded" position and then repeat by putting left hand out first. During last verse, put both hands on knees, then put left hand on nose while crossing right arm over to touch left ear with right hand; then put hands on knees again and this time touch nose with right hand while touching right ear with left hand... (This last action requires some care to ensure you don't poke your finger in your eye!)


I Zicka Zimba (Hold Him Down) Hold him down, you Zulu Warrior Hold him down, you Zulu chief, chief, chief, chief (Repeat) I zicka zimba, zimba, zimba I zicka zimba, zimba, hey I zicka zimba, zimba, zimba I zicka zimba, zimba, hey To begin, song leader shuffles/dances in circle around fire, pretending to wave spear. After singing "chief, chief, chief, chief" turn and dance back in the other direction. During "I zicka zimba" do the same, but with more vigorous actions; on "hey" jump up and turn in opposite direction. When this chorus ends, select a member of audience to join in dance; after each further chorus, each person dancing selects another audience member to join the dance. It is difficult to do justice to the chorus musically as it is in the sound file. It is far more effective when done as a chant, with a loud shout on the "Hey!" (imagine an Indian war dance from an old Western movie and you'll have about the right idea!)


Father Abraham Father Abraham had many sons Many sons had Father Abraham. I am one of them, and so are you. Let me tell you what to do... Right arm. Father Abraham had many sons Many sons had Father Abraham. I am one of them, and so are you. Let me tell you what to do... Right arm, left arm. ...... Continue until: Right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, nod your head, stick out your tongue, turn around, sit down. (can also sing as "Robert Baden-Powell had many scouts") For actions, simply move indicated part of the body. After first verse start swinging right arm, swing both arms after second verse, swing both arms and right leg after third verse and so on...


Noble Captain Kirk (Tune - "Grand Old Duke of York") The noble Captain Kirk, He had 500 men. He beamed them up to the Enterprise, And he beamed down again. And when they're up, they're up, And when they're down, they're down, And when they're only halfway up, They're nowhere to be found.


All Together Again [Closing]

We're all together again, we're here, we're here, We're all together again, we're here, we're here. And who knows when, we'll be all together again? Singing all together again, we're here, we're here! In a gathering with a number of different patrols, sixes etc., you may sing this several times substituting patrol names/six names with the relevant patrol/six standing as their name is sung. e.g. You might replace the words "we're here, we're here" with "Wombats are here" (for Wombat patrol) or "Red Six are here" for Red Six.


The Bear Song Leader: Group, echoing: 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


Scouting Wetspers (Tune - "Scout Vespers" (Oh, Tannenbaum)) Softly falls the rain today As our campsite floats away. Silently, each Scout should ask "Did I bring my SCUBA mask? Have I tied my tent flaps down? Learned to swim, so I won't drown? Have I done, and will I try Everything to keep me dry?"


Mules (Tune - "Auld Lang Syne") On mules we find two legs behind, and two we find before; We stand behind before we find, what the two behind be for. When we're behind the two behind, we find what these be for; So stand before the two behind, and behind the two before.


Mum Wash My Underwear (Tune - "God Bless America") Mum, 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 clothesline, To my backpack, to my rear. Mum, wash my underwear, my only pair. Mum, wash my underwear, or I'll be bare.


Underwear (Over There) Underwear, Underwear How I itch in my woollen underwear I wish I hdd 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 lying, on a line a drying And now I need them they're not there.

If you ever wonder where to find me, Just open up that trap door right behind me. I have lost my underwear, I don't care, I'll go bare, Bye, bye long johns.


My Bonnie Tune: "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"

My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank, The height of its contents to see. I lit up a match to assist her, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me. ( Chorus ) Last night as I lay on my pillow, Last night as I lay on my bed, I stuck my feet out of the window, Next morning my neighbors were dead.

Chorus Bring back, bring back, Bring back my tucker to me, to me, Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my tucker 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. Chorus The sound of a stomach in motion, A murmuring noise inside me, I looked down and there on the ocean, Was breakfast and dinner and tea. Chorus


Picture a Cowboy Picture a cowboy all dressed in red, Fell off his horse and smashed in his head, There was blood on the saddle, there was blood on the ground, And great big globs of blood all around.


BOA CONSTRICTOR I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor, I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor, I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor, And I don’t like it very much.

Turkey Day (Tune: Bring Back my Bonnie to Me)

My turkey went walking one morning The November weather to see. A man with a hatchet approached her. Oh, bring back my turkey to me. Chorus: Bring back, bring back Oh, bring back my turkey to me, to me. Bring back, bring back Oh, bring back my turkey to me. I went down the sidewalk a shoppin' The sights in shop windows to see. And everywhere hung great fat gobblers. Oh, bring back my turkey to me. (Chorus) I went out to dinner and ordered The best things they had I could see. They brought it all roasted and sizzling; They brought back my turkey to me. Brought back, brought back, They brought back my turkey to me, to me. Brought back, brought back, They brought back my turkey to me.


Worms Nobody likes me, Everybody hates me! Iím gonna eat some worms. Chorus (Repeat after each verse) Long, slim slimey ones, Short, fat juicy ones, Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy, wuzzy worms. First you get a bucket, Then you get a shovel, Oh how they wiggle and squirm. First you pull the heads off, Then you suck th guts out. Oh how they wiggle and squirm. Down goes the first one, Down goes the second one, Oh how they wiggle and squirm. Up comes the first one, Up comes the second one, Oh how they wiggle and squirm. Everybody likes me, Nobody hates me! Why did I eat those worms? Chop up their heads and Squeeze out their juice, And throw their tails away. Nobody knows how I survive On worms three times a day!


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!


Sam, Sam, the Lavatory Man The motions are a must when singing this song. Sam, Sam, the lavatory man, Chief inspector of the out house clan (stand straight like soldier & salute) He issues the tissues, the paper, and the towels (pass out 'items') He listens to the sounds of the rumbling bowels (hold hand to ear) Down, down, down below the ground (point down on down) Where all the little poopies are swimming around (swimming motion) There sits Sam, the lavatory man, Scooping up the poopies, Scooping up the poopies, Scooping up the poopies in his little tin can! (scoop 3x times and proudly hold up 'tin can')


The MacTavish Brothers (to the tune of "The Irish Washerwoman") Oh, MacTavish is dead and his brother don't know it, His brother is dead and MacTavish don't know it, There're both of them dead in the very same bed... And neither one knows that the other is dead.

We did as many monologues interspersed with choruses as we could get in before the program director made us shut up (which was in itself a hit with the campers) Here are a sampling. Some had a tune, others were just spoken.]

Baby Bumble Bee I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee Won't my Mommie* be so proud of me? I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee... Ouch! It stung me! I'm squashing up my baby bumble bee Won't my Mommie be so proud of me? I'm squashing up my baby bumble bee... Ew! What a mess! I'm licking up my baby bumble bee Won't my Mommie be so proud of me? I'm licking up my baby bumble bee... Ugh! I feel sick! I'm barfing up my baby bumble bee Won't my Mommie be so proud of me? I'm barfing up my baby bumble bee... Oh! Another mess! I'm mopping up my baby bumble bee Won't my Mommie be so proud of me? I'm mopping up my baby bumble bee... Mommie, aren't you proud of me? I'm (throwing up noise) my baby bumble bee Won't my mommy be so proud of me I'm (throwing up noise) my baby bumble bee Ooh eee what a mess! I'm sweeping up my baby bumble bee Won't my mommy be so proud of me I'm sweeping up my baby bumble bee Ooh eee my mommy loves me! * Can be substituted with many other words: Mother, Mama, Daddy, Father, Papa, Grandma, Grammie, Grandpa, Pappy, Auntie, Uncle, etc.... The motions: Usually it is sung in a circle, so you can see everyone doing the motions - a big part of the fun! It is best if everyone is standing, but not necessary.


Verse 1: Hands are cupped together as if carrying a captured bee. You walk in place and swings hands back and forth as you sing, in time to the music, until you get to the exclamation (Ouch!). Here you stop all movement to emphasize the statement, with an appropriate "unfair of the bee" face. Movement begins again with... Verse 2: Hands are mashed together, back and forth in time to the music, as if squashing the bee. Again movement stops with exclamation (Ew!) as hands are looked at with "icky" faces on...Then Verse 3: While singing (tricky!) hands are pretended to be licked - keeping the hands flat and moving them with a sweeping motion down in front of the mouth, in time to the music. Movement stops with "Ugh!" as "sick" faces are shown and stomachs are held. Verse 4: While still holding stomachs, "bob" up and down from the waist, in time to the music, to simulate barfing. (Oooo, this is fun!) When the "Oh" sounds, "more work" faces are worn. Verse 5: With "mops" in hand, scrub the floor in time to the music. When the "Mommie" is reached, "mops" are held upright and to the side (like the pitchfork in the famous painting :]) with the other hand on the hip and the head turned a little on its side. Bringing home the dinosaur: hands over shoulder as if leading something really big on a leash!


Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips Tune: Old Dunderbeck Scout variation:

Oh, when I was a camper, I never liked to eat; the cook'd 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'd put in it, and this is what he said. *Chorus. * 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 the cook's 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.


Alice the Camel Alice the Camel had three humps Alice the Camel had three humps Alice the Camel had three humps So go, Alice go! Bum, Bum, Bum (Repeat for two and one, no humps. At the end of the last verse change the last line to " Cause Alice was a Horse")


March in the Army I don't want to march in the army, Shoot with the infantry, Ride with the Cavalry, I don't want to fly over the enemy, I am in the Queen’s Navy, 2 3 4 (the repeat adding actions)


I'm a little Beaver. I'm a little Beaver short and stout, Here's my tail and here's my snout, When you pull my tail you'll hear me shout Hey I'm a Beaver, cut that out!


THE GREAT GRAY GHOST ELEPHANT

In deepest darkest Africa there is a legend concerning the Great Gray Ghost Elephant. Every year after the rains the great gray ghost elephant arose from the mists and wandered throughout the land at dawn. When he came to a village he would stop and sniff the air, then he would either go around the village or through it. If he went around the village, the village would have a prosperous year, if he went through it there would be hunger and drought. The village of Wat-cha had been visited three years in a row by the elephant and things were very bad indeed, and the village leader Ging-ganga, was very worried, as was the village medicine man Hay-la-shay. Together they decided to do something about the problem. Now Ging-ganga and his warriors were huge men with big shields and Spears and they decided to stand in the path of the elephant and shake their shields and spears at it to frighten it off. Hay-la-shay and his followers were going to cast magic spells to deter the elephant by shaking their medicine bags as the elephant approached, which made the sound shalawally shallawlly shallawally. Very early in the morning of the day the Great Gray Elephant came the villagers gathered at the edge of the village. On one side were Ging-gana and his warriors (indicate right side of camp fire circle) on the other was Hay-la-shay and his followers (indicate left side of camp fire) As they waited the warriors sang softly about their leader; Ging Gang Gooli, Gooli, Gooli, Gooli Watcha Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Gooli, Gooli, Gooli, Gooli Watcha Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Goo As they waited the medicine men sang of their leader; Hayla, Hayla Shayla Heyla Shayla Halya Ho-o-o! Hayla, Hayla Shayla Heyla Shayla Halya Ho-o-o! And shook their medicine bags, shallawally shallawlly shallawally shallawally. And from the river came the mighty great gray elephant's reply (Have all the adults do this) Oompha Oompah Ompah Oompah! The elephant was coming closer so the warriors beat their shields and sang louder, (signal warriors to stand and beat thighs in time) Ging Gang Gooli, Gooli, Gooli, Gooli Watcha Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Gooli, Gooli, Gooli, Gooli Watcha Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Goo.


Then the medicine men rose and sang loudly Hayla, Hayla Shayla Heyla Shayla Halya Ho-o-o! Hayla, Hayla Shayla Heyla Shayla Halya Ho-o-o! And shook their medicine bags shallawally shallawlly shallawally shallawally. And the mighty great gray elephant turned aside and went around the village saying, Oompha Oompah Ompah Oompah! There was great rejoicing in the village and all the villagers joined together to sing, Ging Gang Gooli........

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.

Humpty Dumpty fell right down and landed on his head, So, all the horses and the men had scrambled eggs and bread.

I left my wife... Your left foot comes down on each "left" in the march. At the "whoop-de-do!" you do this little jig so that your left foot will come down on the "left" in the next line. Here are a couple of other versions: I had a good home and I left I had a good home and I left I left on my own and it served me right, Left, right left right. I left my wife and foty-eight kids On the verge of starvation with only one hamburger Left, left to the left, right, left. I left, left, I left my wife in New Orleans With thirty-five kids and a bucket of beans I thought it was right, right, Right for my country whoop-ee-doo! Left, left, I left...

The Court of King Caractacus This is one guaranteed to impress your audience if you can keep breathing right the way through. It has just one line, which is introduced bit by bit through the song and repeated 4 times per verse. The first verse is :- ‘The ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus were just passing by’ repeated 4 times. This bit is then added to every time around as follows, and the whole thing repeated 4 times per verse. That is why you need lots of breath especially for the last verse. The noses on the faces of ….. The boys who put the powder on …… The fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches in the britches of….. The last verse, which is not repeated ,is:- Now if you want to take some pictures of the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses of the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus…then you’re too late, cos they just…passed…bye!

Each time it is sung through, a word is dropped out and replaced with a sound and an action as follows :- The motor cycle - vroom vroom (like revving the throttle on a motorbike) Policeman – nick nick ( make hand like a duck’s beak, open & close it, on head) Puncture – hissssss (pointy/stabby motion with index finger) Tyre – high pitched wooooooo (each hand points out half a circle in front of you) Chewing – (like you’re stretching the gum from your mouth)


The Fly Song Everywhere you see * you make a loud raspberry noise. You need to train your audience before singing this song so that their noises are short and to the point. There was a little fly flew into a grocers store, and he * on the ceiling and he * on the floor. He * on the bacon and he * on the ham and he * on the head of the little grocer man. So the little grocer man said before this day is done, I will go and get my spray and I’ll go and get my gun. But before the grocer man could count from one to ten, the fly flew in the door and * on him again.


Three Blind Jellyfish Three blind jellyfish Three blind jellyfish Three blind jellyfish sitting on a log Along came a wave [Mexican Wave] and 1 got washed away! Awwwwww! Two One None Along came a wave [Mexican Wave] and 1 got washed back! Hurrrraaaahhhhhhhh! One Two Three Actions:- Three - 3 fingers up Blind - cover eyes Jellyfish - wobble hand A very easy song. Go through it losing one jellyfish at a time. Volunteers make good jellyfish and they must ham up their disappearance as much as possible by rolling and diving off the log. You can also bring them back one at a time to much applause.


The Elephant in the Attic What is that noise I hear (cup hand over ear) Up in the attic (point up) It is an elephant (make a trunk with your arm) Cycling round and round (cycling action) It is an elephant (trunk) So chique and elegant (interlace fingers, palms down, hold over left hip) With one tail here (trunk) And one tail there (make a tail with your arm) Repeat this through, losing one line at a time and replacing it with the action until there is no speaking at all. Then go through it once very fast with words and actions.


Cool and Creamy This needs 2 of you with no sense, and 2 cans of shaving foam. The tune is ‘Alouette’ Chorus Cool and creamy we like cool and creamy, cool and creamy that’s what we like best. Would you like some on your head? Yes I’d like some on my head! On your head, On my head (spray the one who’d like it on their head) It then carries on alternating the sprayer and the sprayee and different parts of their bodies. Have fun!


Whoops la la la la A very easy song. If you know the tune to ‘Pop Goes the Weasel’ then you can do it. Split the audience into about 3 groups, and they la la to the afore mentioned tune. At the end the last 3 syllables are not la la’d but are replaced with a very loud ‘Whoops LA LA LA’ with a bit of a Mexican wave type leap in the air. After a couple of practices, start it off as a round. The next group starts when the previous group is on their second line as follows. La la la la la li la la, La la la li la la (group 2 start when group 1 start this line) LA la la la la li la la WHOOPS la la la la!
