A Boy and a Girl
A boy and a girl in a little canoe
With the moon shining all around
And as they paddled their paddles,
You couldn't even hear a sound.
So they talked and they talked
'til the moon grew dim.
He said you'd better kiss me or get out and swim.
So whatcha gonna do
in a little canoe
with the moon shining all around?
(2nd time)
So whatcha gonna do in a little canoe with the moon shining all a', the girl paddling all a', the boy swimming all around.?
Oh yeah (kiss kiss), Oh yeah (kiss kiss)
A Peanut Sat on a RR track
A peanut sat on a railroad track
His heart was all a-flutter.
Along came the train, the 9:15.
Toot toot! Peanut butter!
Ain't it Great to be Crazy?
Chorus:
Boom boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish, the whole day through
Boom boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Eli Eli, he sells socks
Fifty cents a pair,
and a dollar a box
The longer you wear them,
the shorter they get
You put 'em in the water
and they don't get wet!
A horse and a flee
and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone
shooting dice.
The horse, he slipped
and he fell on the flee
Oops said the flee,
there's a horse on me!
Way down South
where bananas grow,
A flee stepped on
an elephant's toe.
The elephant cried,
with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on
someone your size?"
Way up north
in the ice and snow,
There lives a penguin
whose name is Joe.
He got so tired
of black and white,
He wore pink slacks
to the dance last night!
Alalalalalalalealuia!
Alalalalalalalaeluia! Alalalalalaeluia! Hey!
Alalalalalalalealuia! Alalalalalaeeeeeee Lealuia!
Give a (smile) to the person next to you!
Give a (smile) to a person near you!
Give a (smile) to the person next to you!

Alice the camel has no humps.
'Cuz Alice is a horse!
The Ants go Marching
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah hurrah!
The ants go marching on by one
The little on stops to
suck his thumb
And they all go marching down
to the ground
To get out of the rain, boom boom boom
two ... tie his shoe
three ... climb a tree
four ... shut the door
five ... do the hand jive
six ... pick up sticks
seven ... go to heaven
eight ... open the gate
nine ... check the time

A' ding dong
A' ding dong dong dong dong
A' ding dong dong dong dong
A' ding dong!
Leader: Laura there, she don't wear no socks.
Group: A 'ding dong!
Leader: I was there when she (chiseled) them off.
Group: A' ding dong!
Leader: She threw them on my bed!
Group: A' ding dong!
Leader: Now my teddy bear is dead!
**I was there when she (chiseled, sanded, torched, pulled, cut, sucked, bit, yanked, burned, sliced) them off.**
She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.
Aggravation
Refrain:
Aggravation, Rehabilitation.
Aggravation, this is how you play.
First you take a garden hose,
then you shove it up your nose
Turn it on, then you're gone
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a bowling ball,
then you roll it down the hall.
Hit your dad, make him mad.
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a plastic bag,
then you put it on your head.
Go to bed, wake up dead
Ah ah ah ah
First you get your finger wet
Stick it in the outlet
Lights go off, you go on ...
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a French fry
then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.
Ah ah ah ah
Alligator
Chorus:
Alligator alligator
Can be your friend, can be your friend
Can be your friend too!
The alligator is my friend.
He can be yours too!
If only you would understand
that he has feelings too!
The alligator laughs and sings
He never plays the blues.
I'd rather wear him on my shirt
than wear him for my shoes.
The alligator ate my friend.
He could eat yours too.
If only you would understand
that he gets hungry too!
Alligator alligator.
He ate my friend
He ate my friend
He ate my friend too!
An Austrian (Yodeling Song)

In China they never grow chili.
So sing me another verse that's worse than the first verse.
Make sure that it's foolish and silly.

A canner exceedingly canny
One morning remarked to his granny
"If a canner can can and he thinks that he can then a canner can can a can, can't he?"

Baby Bumble Bee
I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee.
Ouch! It stung me!

Quack quack quack quack quack!
Quack quack quack quack quack!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
We are beavers all
And when we get together, we do the beaver call.
Chorus:
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
She's a beaver too
And when we get together,
We do what beavers do!
Chorus
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them,
The blacker they get
Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?
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.
Oh no, oh no
He's swallowed my toe, he's swallowed my toe.
Oh gee, oh gee.
He's up to my knee, he's up to my knee.
Oh my, oh my.
He's reached my thigh, he's reached my thigh.
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle.
He's reached my middle, he's reached my middle.
Oh heck, oh heck.
He's up to my neck, he's up to my neck.
Oh dread, oh dread.
He's swallowed my ... *gulp!*

My Bonnie lies over the ocean

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.
I'm sure you wouldn'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 brownie smile.
Bubble Gum
My mommy gave me a penny
She told me to buy confetti
But I didn't buy confetti
Instead, I bought bubble gum!
Baroomba-roomba bubble gum

quarter ... pay the porter
dollar ... collar
Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:
Bunuah, Bunuah, Bunuaaaah!
Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!
baby I don't know.
I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus
Chicken Song
C - that's the way it begins
H - that's the second letter in
I - I am the third letter
C - I'm the fourth letter in the word
K - I'm fillin' in
E - I'm near the N
Oh C-H-I-C-K-E-N
That's the way you spell chicken!

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?
Are they curly when they're wet?
Are they fluffy when they're dry?
Can you throw'em over your shoulder like a continental soldier?

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing

'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love

From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.

Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra, stop!
Kookaburra, leave some there for me!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(Refrain)
"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...

In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

The biggest worm ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be

He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses

Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little robber(s)
All dressed in black
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a pink Cadillac
But when the caddy broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little Martian(s)
All dressed in green
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a washing machine
But when the washer broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,

Don't get excited,
Don't lose your head
'Stead of going to heaven,
They all went to bed!
There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby
(Partner Game)
This way willoughby
This way willoughby
This way willoughby
All night long
So, step back Sally
Step back Sally
Step back Sally
All night long
Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window
The window, the window
The second story window

And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down
down down down
Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife
Hotdog!
I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

A Boy and a Girl
A boy and a girl in a little canoe
With the moon shining all around
And as they paddled their paddles,
You couldn't even hear a sound.
So they talked and they talked

He said you'd better kiss me or get out and swim.
So whatcha gonna do

So whatcha gonna do in a little canoe with the moon shining all a', the girl paddling all a', the boy swimming all around.?
Oh yeah (kiss kiss), Oh yeah (kiss kiss)

Eli Eli, he sells socks
Fifty cents a pair,
and a dollar a box
The longer you wear them,
the shorter they get
You put 'em in the water
and they don't get wet!
A horse and a flee
and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone
shooting dice.
The horse, he slipped
and he fell on the flee
Oops said the flee,
there's a horse on me!
Way down South
where bananas grow,
A flee stepped on
an elephant's toe.
The elephant cried,
with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on
someone your size?"
Way up north
in the ice and snow,
There lives a penguin
whose name is Joe.
He got so tired
of black and white,
He wore pink slacks
to the dance last night!

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah hurrah!

Group: A 'ding dong!
Leader: I was there when she (chiseled) them off.
Group: A' ding dong!
Leader: She threw them on my bed!
Group: A' ding dong!
Leader: Now my teddy bear is dead!
**I was there when she (chiseled, sanded, torched, pulled, cut, sucked, bit, yanked, burned, sliced) them off.**
She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.
Aggravation
Refrain:
Aggravation, Rehabilitation.
Aggravation, this is how you play.
First you take a garden hose,
then you shove it up your nose
Turn it on, then you're gone
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a bowling ball,
then you roll it down the hall.
Hit your dad, make him mad.
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a plastic bag,
then you put it on your head.
Go to bed, wake up dead
Ah ah ah ah
First you get your finger wet
Stick it in the outlet
Lights go off, you go on ...
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a French fry
then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.
Ah ah ah ah
Alligator
Chorus:
Alligator alligator
Can be your friend, can be your friend
Can be your friend too!
The alligator is my friend.
He can be yours too!
If only you would understand
that he has feelings too!
The alligator laughs and sings
He never plays the blues.
I'd rather wear him on my shirt
than wear him for my shoes.
The alligator ate my friend.
He could eat yours too.
If only you would understand
that he gets hungry too!
Alligator alligator.
He ate my friend
He ate my friend
He ate my friend too!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver

Hey!
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
She's a beaver too
And when we get together,
We do what beavers do!
Chorus
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them,
The blacker they get
Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus
Chicken Song
C - that's the way it begins

Oh C-H-I-C-K-E-N

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

Georgie
Every morning at 9 o'clock,
I go nahnahnahnahnah to Georgie.
And every morning at 9 o'clock,
she goes nahnahnahnahnah to me.
No need to knock (knock).
No need to ring (ding).
For as I wipe my eyes,

And go nahnahnahnahnah

Open the window, stick out my head.
Down comes the window, off rolls my head,
And nahnahnahnahnah goes Georgie!

Until you make a stop.

Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,

Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.

Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.

Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.

Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods

Come little rabbit come inside

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

So stand before

Late last night,

Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe

it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man

You put 'em in the water

A horse and a flee
and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone
shooting dice.
The horse, he slipped
and he fell on the flee
Oops said the flee,

Way down South
where bananas grow,
A flee stepped on
an elephant's toe.
The elephant cried,
with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on
someone your size?"
Way up north
in the ice and snow,
There lives a penguin
whose name is Joe.
He got so tired

He wore pink slacks

**I was there when she (chiseled, sanded, torched, pulled, cut, sucked, bit, yanked, burned, sliced) them off.**
She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.

then you roll it down the hall.
Hit your dad, make him mad.
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a plastic bag,
then you put it on your head.
Go to bed, wake up dead
Ah ah ah ah
First you get your finger wet
Stick it in the outlet

Ah ah ah ah
First you take a French fry
then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.
Ah ah ah ah

He never plays the blues.
I'd rather wear him on my shirt

The alligator ate my friend.
He could eat yours too.
If only you would understand
that he gets hungry too!
Alligator alligator.
He ate my friend
He ate my friend
He ate my friend too!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall

Chorus:

Catch a bedbug-bedbug

And if he hollers-hollers-hollers

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Since way last May!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)

"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

And ever since then I've dressed in black."

"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

If one were faithless and chanced to go

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The little birds sleep

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

Late last night,

Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,

Fire fire fire!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo
refrain
Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you
If you don't forget
The rick-a-dandoo!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

"Why don't you pick on

Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall

And if he hollers-hollers-hollers

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Oh my, oh my.

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.
I'm sure you wouldn'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 brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh Gee
Oh gee, how happy I feel
I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Everything is goin' my way
Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!
Splat!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat

They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

"Why don't you pick on

She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door

then you roll it down the hall.
Hit your dad, make him mad.
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a plastic bag,
then you put it on your head.
Go to bed, wake up dead
Ah ah ah ah
First you get your finger wet
Stick it in the outlet
Lights go off, you go on ...
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a French fry
then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.
Ah ah ah ah
Alligator
Chorus:
Alligator alligator
Can be your friend, can be your friend
Can be your friend too!
The alligator is my friend.
He can be yours too!
If only you would understand
that he has feelings too!
The alligator laughs and sings
He never plays the blues.
I'd rather wear him on my shirt
than wear him for my shoes.
The alligator ate my friend.
He could eat yours too.
If only you would understand
that he gets hungry too!
Alligator alligator.
He ate my friend
He ate my friend
He ate my friend too!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song

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

Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

And the rats the cover the floor

Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside

My soda straw
(echo)
All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
Long John (repeating)
Well, I'm a long john
And I'm a long time gone
I like the birds in the sky
With their long johns on

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh Gee
Oh gee, how happy I feel
I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Young Indian brave
On the other side

Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

From the redwood forests

This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,

We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

And as they paddled their paddles,
You couldn't even hear a sound.

Eli Eli, he sells socks
Fifty cents a pair,
and a dollar a box
The longer you wear them,
the shorter they get
You put 'em in the water
and they don't get wet!
A horse and a flee
and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone
shooting dice.
The horse, he slipped
and he fell on the flee
Oops said the flee,
there's a horse on me!
Way down South
where bananas grow,
A flee stepped on
an elephant's toe.
The elephant cried,
with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on
someone your size?"
Way up north
in the ice and snow,
There lives a penguin
whose name is Joe.
He got so tired
of black and white,
He wore pink slacks
to the dance last night!

Leader: I was there when she (chiseled) them off.

Group: A' ding dong!
Leader: Now my teddy bear is dead!
**I was there when she (chiseled, sanded, torched, pulled, cut, sucked, bit, yanked, burned, sliced) them off.**
She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.
Aggravation
Refrain:
Aggravation, Rehabilitation.
Aggravation, this is how you play.
First you take a garden hose,
then you shove it up your nose
Turn it on, then you're gone
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a bowling ball,
then you roll it down the hall.
Hit your dad, make him mad.
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a plastic bag,
then you put it on your head.
Go to bed, wake up dead
Ah ah ah ah
First you get your finger wet
Stick it in the outlet
Lights go off, you go on ...
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a French fry
then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.
Ah ah ah ah

Alligator alligator
Can be your friend, can be your friend
Can be your friend too!
The alligator is my friend.
He can be yours too!
If only you would understand

The alligator laughs and sings
He never plays the blues.
I'd rather wear him on my shirt
than wear him for my shoes.
The alligator ate my friend.
He could eat yours too.
If only you would understand
that he gets hungry too!
Alligator alligator.
He ate my friend
He ate my friend
He ate my friend too!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song

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

Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton

And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus
Chicken Song

The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(Refrain)
"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"
(Refrain)
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin

Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!

And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

But his ship sank
And yours will too

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be

He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

But when the washer broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Don't get excited,
Don't lose your head
'Stead of going to heaven,
They all went to bed!
There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby
(Partner Game)
This way willoughby
This way willoughby
This way willoughby
All night long
So, step back Sally
Step back Sally
Step back Sally
All night long
Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window
The window, the window

And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand

From hotdogs on down

His little weenie wife

Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Eli Eli, he sells socks
Fifty cents a pair,
and a dollar a box
The longer you wear them,
the shorter they get
You put 'em in the water
and they don't get wet!
A horse and a flee
and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone
shooting dice.
The horse, he slipped
and he fell on the flee
Oops said the flee,
there's a horse on me!
Way down South
where bananas grow,
A flee stepped on
an elephant's toe.
The elephant cried,
with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on
someone your size?"
Way up north
in the ice and snow,
There lives a penguin
whose name is Joe.
He got so tired
of black and white,
He wore pink slacks
to the dance last night!

Leader: I was there when she (chiseled) them off.

Group: A' ding dong!
Leader: Now my teddy bear is dead!
**I was there when she (chiseled, sanded, torched, pulled, cut, sucked, bit, yanked, burned, sliced) them off.**
She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.

Refrain:
Aggravation, Rehabilitation.
Aggravation, this is how you play.
First you take a garden hose,
then you shove it up your nose
Turn it on, then you're gone

First you take a bowling ball,
then you roll it down the hall.
Hit your dad, make him mad.
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a plastic bag,
then you put it on your head.
Go to bed, wake up dead
Ah ah ah ah
First you get your finger wet
Stick it in the outlet
Lights go off, you go on ...
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a French fry
then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.
Ah ah ah ah

Can be your friend, can be your friend
Can be your friend too!
The alligator is my friend.
He can be yours too!
If only you would understand

The alligator laughs and sings
He never plays the blues.
I'd rather wear him on my shirt
than wear him for my shoes.
The alligator ate my friend.
He could eat yours too.
If only you would understand
that he gets hungry too!
Alligator alligator.
He ate my friend
He ate my friend
He ate my friend too!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

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

Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Swish your bushy tail

Swish your bushy tail
Wrinkle up your funny nose
Put a nut between your toes
Grey squirrel, grey squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
God Bless My Underwear
(tune - God Bless America)
God bless my underwear
My only pair
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
Gopher Girls
We are the gopher girls
Because we go for guys
But they don't go for us
I wonder why?
(gopher noises and teeth)
Gopher Guts
Great green globs of
greasy grimey gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!
Gonk Gonk
Gonk gonk said the little Mr. Froggy
Gonk gonk said the lady froggy too
Gonk gonk said them both together
And their eyes went Woo Woo Woo
As they kissed each other

Just like little froggies do
And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!
Gonk gonk
(kiss kiss)
I'm comin' too!

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways

To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out

On mules we find
two legs behind

We stand behind

what the two behind be for
When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before
the two behind

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said

Fire fire fire!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...

It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,

And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be

He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

Ten in a Bed
There were (10, 9, 8, etc) in the bed

he had ten thousand men.
He marched them up

And he marched them down again.
And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it

I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand

From hotdogs on down

Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Eli Eli, he sells socks
Fifty cents a pair,

You put 'em in the water

A horse and a flee
and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone
shooting dice.
The horse, he slipped
and he fell on the flee
Oops said the flee,
there's a horse on me!
Way down South
where bananas grow,
A flee stepped on
an elephant's toe.
The elephant cried,
with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on
someone your size?"
Way up north
in the ice and snow,
There lives a penguin
whose name is Joe.
He got so tired
of black and white,
He wore pink slacks
to the dance last night!

**I was there when she (chiseled, sanded, torched, pulled, cut, sucked, bit, yanked, burned, sliced) them off.**
She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.
Aggravation
Refrain:
Aggravation, Rehabilitation.
Aggravation, this is how you play.
First you take a garden hose,
then you shove it up your nose
Turn it on, then you're gone
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a bowling ball,
then you roll it down the hall.
Hit your dad, make him mad.
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a plastic bag,
then you put it on your head.
Go to bed, wake up dead
Ah ah ah ah
First you get your finger wet
Stick it in the outlet
Lights go off, you go on ...
Ah ah ah ah
First you take a French fry
then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.
Ah ah ah ah

Chorus:
Alligator alligator
Can be your friend, can be your friend
Can be your friend too!
The alligator is my friend.
He can be yours too!
If only you would understand
that he has feelings too!
The alligator laughs and sings
He never plays the blues.
I'd rather wear him on my shirt
than wear him for my shoes.
The alligator ate my friend.
He could eat yours too.
If only you would understand
that he gets hungry too!
Alligator alligator.
He ate my friend
He ate my friend
He ate my friend too!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

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

Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

It's a great big brownie smile.

Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,

But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut last night.
Last night I found a peanut, found a peanut last night.
Cracked it open ...
It was rotten ...
Ate it anyway ...
Got a stomach-ache ...
Called the doctor ...
Penicillin ...
Operation ...
Died anyway ...
Went to heaven ...
Didn't want me ...
Went the other way ...
Wouldn't take me ...

Five Freckled Frogs
Five freckled frogs,

eating the most delicious bugs
Yummy yummy yummy

where it was nice and cool
Now there are four freckled frogs!
Four, three, two, one ...
Fishy
Have you ever seen a fishy
On a hot summer's day?

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...
Friends
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they smile all the day
'Til they smile the night away
'Til they smile
Friends are nothing
'til they laugh together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they laugh the night away
'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing
'til they love together
'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they cry the night away

Stand beside her and guide her
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.

But they don't go for us

Gopher Guts

Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

Late last night,

Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe

It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower

A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.

**I was there when she (chiseled, sanded, torched, pulled, cut, sucked, bit, yanked, burned, sliced) them off.**
She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.

Hit your dad, make him mad.

First you take a plastic bag,
then you put it on your head.
Go to bed, wake up dead
Ah ah ah ah
First you get your finger wet
Stick it in the outlet

Ah ah ah ah
First you take a French fry
then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.
Ah ah ah ah

He could eat yours too.
If only you would understand
that he gets hungry too!
Alligator alligator.
He ate my friend
He ate my friend
He ate my friend too!

Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall

Catch a bedbug-bedbug

And if he hollers-hollers-hollers

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,

But the buffalo did not answer

Since way last May!!!

And the rats the cover the floor

Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,

You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

If one were faithless and chanced to go

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The little birds sleep

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

Late last night,

Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,

Fire fire fire!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo
refrain
Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you
If you don't forget
The rick-a-dandoo!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.

I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:
Bunuah, Bunuah, Bunuaaaah!
Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!
baby I don't know.
I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

Way up in the sky

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods

Come little rabbit come inside

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,

Chester have you heard about Harry
Just got back from the army
I hear he knows how to wear a rose
Hip hip hooray for the army
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo

Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.

then you stick it in your eye.
Then you find, you've gone blind.

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall

And if he hollers-hollers-hollers

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.

So I'll take it out and put it on.
It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh Gee
Oh gee, how happy I feel
I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Everything is goin' my way
Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!
Splat!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

The Princess Pat

And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:

Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too

And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

**I was there when she (chiseled, sanded, torched, pulled, cut, sucked, bit, yanked, burned, sliced) them off.**
She threw them in the sky
Now the birds refuse to fly
She threw them into space
Wiped out the human race
She threw them in the shower
Now the shower needs Lysol power
She threw them on the bus
And killed all of us
She threw them in the chair
Now the chair needs intensive care
She threw them on her shirt
Now the boys refuse to flirt
She threw them in the tent
That tent just up and went
She threw them in the tree
Now the dogs refuse to pee
She threw them in the sewer
Now it smells like cow manure
She threw them on the fence
Haven't seen my neighbors since
She threw them on the wall
Now the bugs refuse to crawl
She threw them in the grass
Now the cars refuse to pass
She threw them in the fire
Now the flames rise higher and higher
She threw them in the sink
Now no one can get a drink
She threw them out the door
We can't sing this song no more.

If only you would understand

Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
We are beavers all
And when we get together, we do the beaver call.
Chorus:
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
She's a beaver too
And when we get together,
We do what beavers do!
Chorus
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them,
The blacker they get
Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?
Boa Constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor

And I don't like it very much.
Oh no, oh no
He's swallowed my toe, he's swallowed my toe.
Oh gee, oh gee.
He's up to my knee, he's up to my knee.
Oh my, oh my.
He's reached my thigh, he's reached my thigh.
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle.
He's reached my middle, he's reached my middle.
Oh heck, oh heck.
He's up to my neck, he's up to my neck.
Oh dread, oh dread.
He's swallowed my ... *gulp!*

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.

It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.

In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh Gee
Oh gee, how happy I feel
I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken
and I don't have to steal
Everything is goin' my way
Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's
goin' my way
Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and
lordy lordy lordy
Everything everything everything everything everything's
goin' my way
Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!
Splat!
Oh Chester
Chester have you heard about Harry
Just got back from the army
I hear he knows how to wear a rose
Hip hip hooray for the army
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop!
(tune - if you're happy and you know it)
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
I'd go down with a slurp and come up with a burp
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
juicy orange ... squirty squirty squirty over everybody's shirty
bar o' soap ... slidy slidy slidy over everybody's hidy
Girl Scout ... tramp tramp tramp to the Boy Scout camp!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo
refrain
Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you
If you don't forget
The rick-a-dandoo!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe

A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.

Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Ouch! It stung me!
smushing up ... Ew! My hands are dirty!
licking up ... Ow! My tummy hurts!
barfing up ... Uh oh! The floor's dirty!
mopping up ... Oh no! The mop's dirty!
Wringing out ... Uh oh! The sink's clogged!
Plunging out ... Bye bye baby bumble bee!
Baby Duck (Round)
Oh wasn't it a bit of luck
that I was born a baby duck?
With yellow socks (touch socks)

Quack quack quack quack quack!
Quack quack quack quack quack!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
We are beavers all
And when we get together, we do the beaver call.
Chorus:
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
She's a beaver too
And when we get together,
We do what beavers do!
Chorus
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them,
The blacker they get
Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?
Boa Constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor

And I don't like it very much.
Oh no, oh no
He's swallowed my toe, he's swallowed my toe.
Oh gee, oh gee.
He's up to my knee, he's up to my knee.
Oh my, oh my.
He's reached my thigh, he's reached my thigh.
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle.
He's reached my middle, he's reached my middle.
Oh heck, oh heck.
He's up to my neck, he's up to my neck.
Oh dread, oh dread.
He's swallowed my ... *gulp!*

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.
I'm sure you wouldn'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 brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways

Yours is a pea green

To a boy scout
They're having a baby

Mules
On mules we find

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee.
Ouch! It stung me!

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
We are beavers all
And when we get together, we do the beaver call.
Chorus:
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
She's a beaver too
And when we get together,
We do what beavers do!
Chorus
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them,
The blacker they get
Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?
Boa Constrictor

Oh gee, oh gee.

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.

It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

Bunuah, Bunuah

But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways

Yours is a pea green

To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
On mules we find

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
We are beavers all
And when we get together, we do the beaver call.
Chorus:
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
She's a beaver too
And when we get together,
We do what beavers do!
Chorus
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them,
The blacker they get
Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?
Boa Constrictor

Oh gee, oh gee.
He's up to my knee, he's up to my knee.
Oh my, oh my.
He's reached my thigh, he's reached my thigh.
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle.
He's reached my middle, he's reached my middle.
Oh heck, oh heck.
He's up to my neck, he's up to my neck.
Oh dread, oh dread.

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.

So I'll take it out and put it on.
It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

Was stuck inside ...

Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways

To a boy scout
They're having a baby

On mules we find

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me
Beaver Song
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
We are beavers all
And when we get together, we do the beaver call.
Chorus:
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
Neeneeneeneeneeneeneenee
Hey!
I'm a beaver, you're a beaver
She's a beaver too
And when we get together,
We do what beavers do!
Chorus
Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them,
The blacker they get
Sometimes, I think I should wash them
But something inside me says don't do it yet
Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?
Boa Constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor

And I don't like it very much.
Oh no, oh no
He's swallowed my toe, he's swallowed my toe.
Oh gee, oh gee.
He's up to my knee, he's up to my knee.
Oh my, oh my.
He's reached my thigh, he's reached my thigh.
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle.
He's reached my middle, he's reached my middle.
Oh heck, oh heck.
He's up to my neck, he's up to my neck.
Oh dread, oh dread.
He's swallowed my ... *gulp!*

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.

It's a great big brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.

Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours

She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
On mules we find
two legs behind
and two we find before
We stand behind

what the two behind be for
When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before
the two behind
and behind the two before

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

But his ship sank

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball
The score was 19-20
The 'squitos were ahead
The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Catch a bedbug-bedbug
By the toe
And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go
Singin'
Eenie-meenie-meenie
Minie-mo
Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?
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.
Oh no, oh no
He's swallowed my toe, he's swallowed my toe.
Oh gee, oh gee.
He's up to my knee, he's up to my knee.
Oh my, oh my.
He's reached my thigh, he's reached my thigh.
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle.
He's reached my middle, he's reached my middle.
Oh heck, oh heck.
He's up to my neck, he's up to my neck.
Oh dread, oh dread.
He's swallowed my ... *gulp!*

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.
I'm sure you wouldn'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 brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:
Bunuah, Bunuah, Bunuaaaah!
Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus
Chicken Song

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing

'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall

And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Oh my, oh my.
He's reached my thigh, he's reached my thigh.
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle.
He's reached my middle, he's reached my middle.
Oh heck, oh heck.
He's up to my neck, he's up to my neck.
Oh dread, oh dread.

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.
I'm sure you wouldn'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 brownie smile.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!
Splat!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too

And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

Not yet, not yet, not yet!
Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball

And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:

Catch a bedbug-bedbug

And if he hollers-hollers-hollers
Let him go

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Brownie Smile
I've got something in my pocket that belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.
I'm sure you wouldn'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 brownie smile.
Bubble Gum
My mommy gave me a penny
She told me to buy confetti
But I didn't buy confetti
Instead, I bought bubble gum!

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:
Bunuah, Bunuah, Bunuaaaah!
Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!
baby I don't know.
I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Way up in the sky

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

Safely to abide.

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

Oh gee, how happy I feel
I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken
and I don't have to steal
Everything is goin' my way
Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's
goin' my way
Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and
lordy lordy lordy
Everything everything everything everything everything's
goin' my way
Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!
Splat!

Chester have you heard about Harry
Just got back from the army

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
I'd go down with a slurp and come up with a burp
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

They sailed across

But his ship sank

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Barges
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,

Since way last May!!!

And I'll be yours forever more!

Some call it fun, but some may call it madness.
So, come along with us, we'll wipe away your sadness.
Happy campers are we, having fun beneath the trees.
And when we are gone, we'll remember our song,
singin' ...

Charmin' Betsy
Chorus:
All around the mountain charmin' Betsy Betsy
All around the mountain Loralee
If I ever see her again, may the good lord remember me
Yee-haw!
City girls, they wear those fancy dresses
Country girls, they do the same
Mountain girls wear old overalls
But they get there just the same
Yee-haw!
high-heeled shoes ... old hiking boots
bathing suits ... nothing at all
flush toilets ... old friendly bush
S.U.V.'s ... old pickup trucks
fancy earrings ... old safety pins

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

Leatherwing Bat

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

So stand before

People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo

Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.

Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to said the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flickering light.
Starboard is green and the port is glowing red.
I can see them flickering far ahead.
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 too go silently.
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Barges on the river you may roam.
On the waters always you're at home
How my heart longs to fly away with you
as you sail across the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Out of my window, looking in the night,
I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Carrying cargo far across the sea
And I wish that someday they'd take me

Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand

What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

And the rats the cover the floor

Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.

Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

If one were faithless and chanced to go

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo

Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you
If you don't forget

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:

Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

sitting on a freckled log,
eating the most delicious bugs
Yummy yummy yummy
One jumped into the pool,
where it was nice and cool
Now there are four freckled frogs!
Four, three, two, one ...
Fishy
Have you ever seen a fishy
On a hot summer's day?

With his hands in his pockets and his pockets in his pants?

You never have
You never will!
Have you ever seen a fishy
on a cold winter's day?

Have you ever seen a fishy
on the fourth of July?

Have you have ever seen a fishy do the hoochy-koochy dance?
You never have (clap clap)
You never will!
Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...
Friends
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they smile all the day
'Til they smile the night away
'Til they smile
Friends are nothing
'til they laugh together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they laugh the night away
'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing
'til they love together
'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they love

Georgie
Every morning at 9 o'clock,
I go nahnahnahnahnah to Georgie.
And every morning at 9 o'clock,

And go nahnahnahnahnah

And nahnahnahnahnah goes Georgie!

Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,

God Bless My Underwear

Stand beside her and guide her
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.

Gopher Girls
We are the gopher girls
Because we go for guys
But they don't go for us
I wonder why?

Gopher Guts
Great green globs of

Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!
Gonk Gonk
Gonk gonk said the little Mr. Froggy

And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

And ever since then I've dressed in black."

She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out

Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

The Littlest Worm

The little worm

Was stuck inside

My soda straw

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways

To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out

On mules we find
two legs behind

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

But his ship sank

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower

A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

Bedbugs
I woke up late this morning
And there upon my wall
The bedbugs and mosquitoes
Were having a game of ball

The bedbugs hit a home run
And knocked me out of bed!
Chorus:

And if he hollers-hollers-hollers

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand

What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

A place where man's troubles are all left behind.

And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Up comes the first one,
up comes the second one
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Grey Squirrel
Grey squirrel, grey squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
Grey squirrel, grey squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
Wrinkle up your funny nose
Put a nut between your toes
Grey squirrel, grey squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
God Bless My Underwear
(tune - God Bless America)
God bless my underwear
My only pair
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
Gopher Girls
We are the gopher girls
Because we go for guys
But they don't go for us
I wonder why?

Gopher Guts
Great green globs of
greasy grimey gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!
Gonk Gonk
Gonk gonk said the little Mr. Froggy
Gonk gonk said the lady froggy too
Gonk gonk said them both together
And their eyes went Woo Woo Woo
As they kissed each other

Just like little froggies do
And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!
Gonk gonk

I'm comin' too!

The reason that I fly by night

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

On mules we find
two legs behind

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...

It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,

They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Young Indian brave
On the other side

Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

He marched them up

And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

To the front, to the back, to the side side side

I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it

I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.

Blowin' in the Wind
(Bob Dylan)
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(Refrain)
"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer

Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways

Yours is a pea green

She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be

He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses

Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.
Three Little Angels
Three little angels
all dressed in white
Tryin' to get to heaven
on the end of a kite
But when the kite string broke
and down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Two little angels ...
One little angel ...
(Three, two, one) little devil(s)
All dressed in red
Tryin' to get to heaven
On the end of a thread
But when the thread got broken,
down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little robber(s)
All dressed in black
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a pink Cadillac
But when the caddy broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,

(Three, two, one) little Martian(s)
All dressed in green
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a washing machine
But when the washer broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,

Don't get excited,
Don't lose your head
'Stead of going to heaven,
They all went to bed!
There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby

So, step back Sally

Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window

And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand

From hotdogs on down

Weenie Man! Weenie Man!

Yes 'n how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes'n how many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus:
The answer, my friend, is blowin in wind.
The answer is blowin in the wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?
Yes'n how many times must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes'n how many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died?

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton

And the rats the cover the floor

Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin

Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board
I'm not a Chevy and I'm not a Ford

Sleeping under someone's bunk
Nobody wants to sleep with me

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

The Littlest Worm

Was stuck inside

My soda straw

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
Long John (repeating)
Well, I'm a long john
And I'm a long time gone
I like the birds in the sky

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Stood a lovely Indian maid.

Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down
down down down
Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife
Hotdog!
I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!

I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus
Chicken Song
C - that's the way it begins

Oh C-H-I-C-K-E-N

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...
Friends
Friends are nothing

'Til they smile all the day
'Til they smile the night away

'Til they laugh all the day

'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing
'til they love together
'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love
Friends are nothing

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

Little Black Things

refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

Come little rabbit come inside

He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.

It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,

A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

And I'll be yours forever more!

Camp Dewitt Song
refrain:
Camp! Camp Dewitt
Camp! Camp Dewitt
Camp! Camp Dewitt

So, come along with us, we'll wipe away your sadness.
Happy campers are we, having fun beneath the trees.
And when we are gone, we'll remember our song,
singin' ...

Charmin' Betsy
Chorus:
All around the mountain charmin' Betsy Betsy
All around the mountain Loralee
If I ever see her again, may the good lord remember me
Yee-haw!
City girls, they wear those fancy dresses
Country girls, they do the same
Mountain girls wear old overalls
But they get there just the same
Yee-haw!
high-heeled shoes ... old hiking boots
bathing suits ... nothing at all
flush toilets ... old friendly bush
S.U.V.'s ... old pickup trucks
fancy earrings ... old safety pins

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

The reason that I fly by night

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Come little rabbit come inside

And now he's gone ...

Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...

And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town

In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,

Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

The Princess Pat

She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo

Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,

What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.

Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine

Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

on a cold winter's day?

With his hands in his pockets and his pockets in his pants?
Have you have ever seen a fishy do the hoochy-koochy dance?
You never have (clap clap)
You never will!
Have you ever seen a fishy
on a house on a hill?

Have you ever seen a fishy

With his hands in his pockets and his pockets in his pants?
Have you have ever seen a fishy do the hoochy-koochy dance?
You never have (clap clap)

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they smile all the day
'Til they smile the night away

'Til they laugh all the day

'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing
'til they love together
'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they cry the night away

From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.

The reason that I fly by night

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky

While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Come little rabbit come inside

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

So stand before

Late last night,

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.

Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Rainbow Love

We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!

But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton

And the rats the cover the floor

Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(Refrain)
"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"
(Refrain)
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!
Ssssssssssss.

Too late!

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

The Noble Duke of York,
he had ten thousand men.
He marched them up
to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.
Three Little Angels
Three little angels
all dressed in white
Tryin' to get to heaven
on the end of a kite
But when the kite string broke
and down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Two little angels ...
One little angel ...
(Three, two, one) little devil(s)
All dressed in red
Tryin' to get to heaven
On the end of a thread
But when the thread got broken,
down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little robber(s)
All dressed in black
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a pink Cadillac
But when the caddy broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little Martian(s)
All dressed in green
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a washing machine
But when the washer broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Don't get excited,
Don't lose your head
'Stead of going to heaven,
They all went to bed!
There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby

So, step back Sally
Step back Sally
Step back Sally
All night long
Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window
The window, the window

And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand

From hotdogs on down

His little weenie wife

Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Buffalo Song
Across the windswept desert,
Where nature knows no man,
A buffalo saw his brother
A-lying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:

Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!
baby I don't know.
I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!

Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
Long John (repeating)
Well, I'm a long john
And I'm a long time gone
I like the birds in the sky
With their long johns on

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh Gee
Oh gee, how happy I feel
I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Everything is goin' my way
Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

And purple too

But his ship sank

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear

With a love that never dies

Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This land is your land,

From California

From the redwood forests

This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

What makes you lie that way?
But the buffalo did not answer
He's been dead since way last May.
Since way last May!!!
Bunuah
Oh won't you come to me baby?
Oh won't you bring me my bail?
For a drink and a fight on a Saturday night,
They put me down in this Bunuah jail
Chorus:
Bunuah, Bunuah, Bunuaaaah!
Bunuah, Bunuah
Baby I don't know, uh!
baby I don't know.
I didn't mean to be fighting
And bringing you all of this shame
But the tongue of Jonathon Brighton
Was scandalizin' yo' name.
Chorus
This Bunuah jail is cold and damp
And the rats the cover the floor
(ricky-ticky now)
Ten and three will set me free
And I'll be yours forever more!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

Way up in the sky

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods

Come little rabbit come inside

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine

Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

With his hands in his pockets and his pockets in his pants?
Have you have ever seen a fishy do the hoochy-koochy dance?
You never have (clap clap)
You never will!
Have you ever seen a fishy
on the fourth of July?
Have you ever seen a fishy
explode in the sky?
With his hands in his pockets and his pockets in his pants?
Have you have ever seen a fishy do the hoochy-koochy dance?
You never have (clap clap)
You never will!
Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they smile all the day
'Til they smile the night away

'Til they laugh all the day

'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing
'til they love together
'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they cry the night away

And every morning at 9 o'clock,

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods

Come little rabbit come inside

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...

Was stuck inside ...

He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.

Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.

She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin
I'm a little piece of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board
I'm not a Chevy and I'm not a Ford

Sleeping under someone's bunk
Nobody wants to sleep with me

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!
Ssssssssssss.

In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

The biggest worm ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh gee, how happy I feel

Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby
(Partner Game)
This way willoughby

All night long
So, step back Sally
Step back Sally
Step back Sally
All night long
Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window
The window, the window

It's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down

Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife

I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...

'Til they smile all the day

'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing
'til they love together
'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love
Friends are nothing

While down in their nests

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Come little rabbit come inside

Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours

Yours is a pea green

To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
On mules we find
two legs behind

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!

Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Leatherwing Bat

The reason that I fly by night

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?

The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo
refrain
Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you
If you don't forget
The rick-a-dandoo!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."

"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"

He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways

Yours is a pea green

She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely

But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be

He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses

Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

There were (10, 9, 8, etc) in the bed
And the little one said
"I'm crowded! Roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out!
When he hit the floor,
He gave a little shout "ow!"
Please remember
To tie a knot in your pajamas
Single bed are only make for 1, 2 ...
(back to beginning)
There was one in the bed
And the little one said
"I've got the whole bed to myself
I've got the whole bed to myself
I've got the whole bed to myself
I've got the whole bed to myself!"
The More We Get Together (Round)

The Noble Duke of York
The Noble Duke of York,
he had ten thousand men.
He marched them up
to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it

I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.

Up and down my elbows.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chorus:
Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways

Yours is a pea green

She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
On mules we find
two legs behind

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before
the two behind

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

But his ship sank

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

Chocolate chip cookies
Ya gotta have more
You can bake 'em in the oven
Or buy 'em at the store
But whatever you do,
have 'em ready at the door
And I'll love ya 'til I die
They're made with water, sugar, and flour
You bake 'em in the oven about a quarter hour
But the thing that gives them their magic power
is the chocolate chips inside!
You can't eat one, can't eat two
Once you start chewing, there's nothing you can do
But clean the plate and eat the crumbs too
And then go out and buy some more
When I die, I don't wings
A golden halo or a harp that sings
Give me a book, a fire, and somebody who brings me
Chocolate chip cookies all day.
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and
Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings
to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Come little rabbit come inside

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...

The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget

Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

And his daughter Clementine
Chorus:
Oh my darlin', oh my darling
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You are lost and gone forever

Like a feather
and her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes without soxes
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
Drove she ducklings

Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine

Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But alas I am no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(Refrain)
"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"
(Refrain)
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin

Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!

And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

But his ship sank
And yours will too

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be

He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

But when the washer broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Don't get excited,
Don't lose your head
'Stead of going to heaven,
They all went to bed!
There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby

Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window

And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down

Weenie Man! Weenie Man!

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

While down in their nests

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh Gee
Oh gee, how happy I feel
I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Everything is goin' my way
Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land

Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Itsy-bitsy fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Down goes the first one,
down goes the second one
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Up comes the first one,
up comes the second one
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.

Swish your bushy tail
Wrinkle up your funny nose
Put a nut between your toes
Grey squirrel, grey squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
God Bless My Underwear
(tune - God Bless America)
God bless my underwear
My only pair
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
Gopher Girls
We are the gopher girls
Because we go for guys
But they don't go for us
I wonder why?

Gopher Guts
Great green globs of
greasy grimey gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!

Gonk gonk said the little Mr. Froggy
Gonk gonk said the lady froggy too

And their eyes went Woo Woo Woo

Just like little froggies do
And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!
Gonk gonk

Leatherwing Bat

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

On mules we find
two legs behind

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...

It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,

They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely

But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be

He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses

Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

Ten in a Bed
There were (10, 9, 8, etc) in the bed
And the little one said
"I'm crowded! Roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out!
When he hit the floor,
He gave a little shout "ow!"
Please remember
To tie a knot in your pajamas
Single bed are only make for 1, 2 ...

There was one in the bed
And the little one said
"I've got the whole bed to myself
I've got the whole bed to myself

The Noble Duke of York
The Noble Duke of York,
he had ten thousand men.
He marched them up

And he marched them down again.
And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

To the front, to the back, to the side side side

I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

While down in their nests

Crawling up and down my arm

Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?

Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...

I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways

To a boy scout
They're having a baby

On mules we find

We stand behind

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

But his ship sank

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut last night.
Last night I found a peanut, found a peanut last night.
Cracked it open ...
It was rotten ...
Ate it anyway ...
Got a stomach-ache ...
Called the doctor ...
Penicillin ...
Operation ...
Died anyway ...
Went to heaven ...
Didn't want me ...
Went the other way ...
Wouldn't take me ...

Five Freckled Frogs
Five freckled frogs,

eating the most delicious bugs
Yummy yummy yummy

where it was nice and cool
Now there are four freckled frogs!
Four, three, two, one ...
Fishy
Have you ever seen a fishy
On a hot summer's day?

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!
Da dum da dum da dum da dum ...
Friends
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they smile all the day
'Til they smile the night away
'Til they smile
Friends are nothing
'til they laugh together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they laugh the night away
'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing
'til they love together
'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they cry the night away

Stand beside her and guide her
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.

But they don't go for us

Gopher Guts

Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

Late last night,

Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

A place where man's troubles are all left behind.

And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside

Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole

"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
Long John (repeating)
Well, I'm a long john
And I'm a long time gone
I like the birds in the sky

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh gee, how happy I feel

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Stood a lovely Indian maid.

Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses

Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.

Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down

Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife
Hotdog!
I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)

"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

If one were faithless and chanced to go

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...

Was stuck inside ...

He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo
refrain
Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you
If you don't forget
The rick-a-dandoo!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin
I'm a little piece of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board
I'm not a Chevy and I'm not a Ford

Honk honk
Rattle rattle rattle
Crash!
Beep beep!
Honk honk
Rattle rattle rattle

I'm a little strip-ed skunk
Sleeping under someone's bunk
Nobody wants to sleep with me
'Cuz I'm as stinky as can be

Coca cola shot him down

Now, I'm drinkin' 7-up!

Little Red Wagon
You can't ride in my little red wagon
Front seat's broken and the axle's draggin'

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!
Ssssssssssss.
I remoooooooooooved it!
Too late!
The Littlest Worm

Was stuck inside

My soda straw

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
Long John (repeating)

And I'm a long time gone

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat

But his ship sank

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

There's a daisy on my toe

From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby

So, step back Sally
Step back Sally
Step back Sally
All night long
Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window
The window, the window
The second story window

It's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down

Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife
Hotdog!
I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

And ever since then I've dressed in black."

"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...

He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.

Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat

She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo

Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Kookaburra gay your life must be
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra, stop!
Kookaburra, leave some there for me!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(Refrain)
"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"
(Refrain)
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...

The biggest worm ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be

He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses

Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

But when the thread got broken,
down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little robber(s)
All dressed in black
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a pink Cadillac
But when the caddy broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little Martian(s)
All dressed in green
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a washing machine
But when the washer broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Don't get excited,
Don't lose your head
'Stead of going to heaven,
They all went to bed!
There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby

So, step back Sally
Step back Sally
Step back Sally

Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window

And everywhere that Mary went

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand

From hotdogs on down

Weenie Man! Weenie Man!

Flicker
The flicker of the campfire, the wind in the pines.
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

And ever since then my head's been red."

Court her night and court her day

If one were faithless and chanced to go

Way up in the sky

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

Little Black Things

refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

Safely to abide.

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town

In Make-Believe Town,

Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

Fire fire fire!

I hear he knows how to wear a rose
Hip hip hooray for the army
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop!
(tune - if you're happy and you know it)
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
I'd go down with a slurp and come up with a burp
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

The Princess Pat

Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget

And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September

Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out

Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways

Yours is a pea green

She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

With each other
So their love could never be

'Cuz the river

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses

Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.
Three Little Angels
Three little angels
all dressed in white
Tryin' to get to heaven
on the end of a kite
But when the kite string broke
and down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Two little angels ...
One little angel ...
(Three, two, one) little devil(s)
All dressed in red
Tryin' to get to heaven
On the end of a thread
But when the thread got broken,
down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little robber(s)
All dressed in black
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a pink Cadillac
But when the caddy broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little Martian(s)
All dressed in green
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a washing machine
But when the washer broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Don't get excited,
Don't lose your head
'Stead of going to heaven,
They all went to bed!
There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This Way Willoughby

So, step back Sally
Step back Sally
Step back Sally

Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window

And everywhere that Mary went

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down

Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife
Hotdog!
I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

A place where man's troubles are all left behind.

And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.

Leatherwing Bat

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

Court her night and court her day

If one were faithless and chanced to go

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood

Knocking at his door

Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...

Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
The stars in the heavens, the moon that shines.
A place where people gather, with friends of all kinds.
A place where man's troubles are all left behind.
So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright.
And give me some friends to sing with, I'll be here all night.
For love is for those who find it and I've found mine right here.
With you and the light of the campfire, and the songs we love to hear!

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left

The little birds sleep

Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up

Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
'til they smile together
'Til they smile all the day
'Til they smile the night away
'Til they smile
Friends are nothing
'til they laugh together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they laugh the night away
'Til they laugh
Friends are nothing
'til they cry together
'Til they cry all the day
'Til they cry the night away
'Til they cry
Friends are nothing
'til they love together
'Til they love all the day
'Til they love the night away
'Til they love
Friends are nothing
'til they smile together
'Til they laugh all the day
'Til they cry the night away

Leatherwing Bat

The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

And ever since then my head's been red."

If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole

"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"

Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
I go nahnahnahnahnah to Georgie.
And every morning at 9 o'clock,
she goes nahnahnahnahnah to me.
No need to knock (knock).
No need to ring (ding).
For as I wipe my eyes,
I open the window,
stick out my head
And go nahnahnahnahnah
to Georgie.
(2nd time through ...)
Open the window, stick out my head.
Down comes the window, off rolls my head,
And nahnahnahnahnah goes Georgie!
Going to Kentucky (Circle Game)
We're going to Kentucky,
We're going to the fair,
to see the Senorita
with flowers in her hair.
Oh, shake it shake it shake it
Shake it all you can.
Shake it like a milkshake
and do the best you can!
Rumble to the bottom.
Rumble to the top.
Turn around and turn around
Until you make a stop.
Guess I'll Go Eat Worms
Nobody likes me,
ev'rybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Down goes the first one,
down goes the second one
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Up comes the first one,
up comes the second one
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.

Wrinkle up your funny nose

Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!
Gonk Gonk
Gonk gonk said the little Mr. Froggy
Gonk gonk said the lady froggy too
Gonk gonk said them both together
And their eyes went Woo Woo Woo

And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)

"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."

"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."

"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."

"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"

"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
ev'rybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Down goes the first one,
down goes the second one
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Up comes the first one,
up comes the second one
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm
Long thin slimy ones,
short fat juicy ones,
Itsy-bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms.
Grey Squirrel
Grey squirrel, grey squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
Grey squirrel, grey squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
Wrinkle up your funny nose
Put a nut between your toes
Grey squirrel, grey squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
God Bless My Underwear
(tune - God Bless America)
God bless my underwear

Stand beside her and guide her
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
Gopher Girls

But they don't go for us

Gopher Guts

Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!
Gonk Gonk
Gonk gonk said the little Mr. Froggy
Gonk gonk said the lady froggy too

And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!
Gonk gonk

Come little rabbit come inside

Come little rabbit come inside

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
God bless my underwear
My only pair
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the rips and the holes and the tears
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline high above.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.
Gopher Girls
We are the gopher girls
Because we go for guys
But they don't go for us
I wonder why?
(gopher noises and teeth)
Gopher Guts
Great green globs of
greasy grimey gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!
Gonk Gonk
Gonk gonk said the little Mr. Froggy
Gonk gonk said the lady froggy too
Gonk gonk said them both together
And their eyes went Woo Woo Woo
As they kissed each other
(kiss kiss)
Just like little froggies do
And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!
Gonk gonk
(kiss kiss)
I'm comin' too!

Way up in the sky

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

Little Black Things

Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods

The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
Swimmin' in a bowl of all-purpose porpoise puss
And I forgot my spoon
But I have a fork!
Gonk Gonk
Gonk gonk said the little Mr. Froggy
Gonk gonk said the lady froggy too
Gonk gonk said them both together
And their eyes went Woo Woo Woo
As they kissed each other
(kiss kiss)
Just like little froggies do
And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!
Gonk gonk
(kiss kiss)
I'm comin' too!

Way up in the sky

While down in their nests
the little birds rest

Little Black Things

refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside

He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Gonk gonk said the lady froggy too
Gonk gonk said them both together
And their eyes went Woo Woo Woo
As they kissed each other

Just like little froggies do
And he said goodbye!
And she said oh my!
Gonk gonk

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.

Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside

Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said

Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Life is like a little boat upon the sea
You can be a part of anything, anyway
You can be happy if you let yourself be!
Why? Because

The reason that I fly by night

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep

Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door

Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood

A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"

Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
I Love the Mountains (Round)
I love the mountains
I love the rolling hills
I love the flowers
I love the daffodils
I love the fireside
When all the lights are low
Boom de ya da boom de ya da
Boom de ya da boom de ya da

Leatherwing Bat
(Adapt. & Arr. by Yarrow/Stookey)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(Refrain)
"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"

Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin
I'm a little piece of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board
I'm not a Chevy and I'm not a Ford
(refrain)
Honk honk
Rattle rattle rattle
Crash!
Beep beep!
Honk honk
Rattle rattle rattle
Crash!
Beep beep!
Honk honk
I'm a little strip-ed skunk
Sleeping under someone's bunk
Nobody wants to sleep with me
'Cuz I'm as stinky as can be
(refrain)
Pepsi cola went to town
Coca cola shot him down
Dr. Pepper fixed him up
Now, I'm drinkin' 7-up!
(refrain)
Little Red Wagon
You can't ride in my little red wagon
Front seat's broken and the axle's draggin'
Chug-a chug-a chug-a-chug-a chug-a
Next verse, same as the first
Just a little bit louder and a little bit worse
Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!
Ssssssssssss.
I remoooooooooooved it!
Too late!

All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)

Scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
Down came the goooood fairy and she said,

I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"

Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning

Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!

Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out

Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out

All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:

"Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't wanna see you scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head.
I'll give you three chances and if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon!"
The next day ...
Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky
the little birds fly
While down in their nests
the little birds rest
With a wing on the left
and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
all through the night
Shhhh. They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes up
The dew falls away
Good morning good morning
the little birds say!
Little Black Things
(tune - Clementine)
refrain:
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin
I'm a little piece of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board
I'm not a Chevy and I'm not a Ford
(refrain)
Honk honk
Rattle rattle rattle
Crash!
Beep beep!
Honk honk
Rattle rattle rattle
Crash!

I'm a little strip-ed skunk
Sleeping under someone's bunk
Nobody wants to sleep with me
'Cuz I'm as stinky as can be
(refrain)
Pepsi cola went to town
Coca cola shot him down
Dr. Pepper fixed him up
Now, I'm drinkin' 7-up!
(refrain)
Little Red Wagon
You can't ride in my little red wagon
Front seat's broken and the axle's draggin'
Chug-a chug-a chug-a-chug-a chug-a
Next verse, same as the first
Just a little bit louder and a little bit worse
Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!
Ssssssssssss.
I remoooooooooooved it!
Too late!
The Littlest Worm

The little worm

Was stuck inside
(echo)
My soda straw
(echo)
All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
"I" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell to you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Is because I've lost my heart's delight."
(Refrain)
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Howdy dowdy diddle-dum day
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
"I" said the blackbird sittin' on a chair
"Once I courted a lady, fair.
She proved fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in black."
(Refrain)
"I" said the woodpecker sittin' on a fence
"Once I courted a handsome winch
She got scared and from me fled
And ever since then my head's been red."
(Refrain)
"I" said the little turtle dove
"I'll tell you how to win her love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her time to say o-neigh!"
(Refrain)
"I" said the bluejay and away he flew
"If I were a young man I'd have two
If one were faithless and chanced to go
I'd add the other string to my bow"
(Refrain)
Hey le lee-lee lie-lee low
Linger
Hm mm I wanna linger
Hm mm a little longer
Hm mm a little longer here with you, with you
Hm mm it's such a perfect night
Hm mm it doesn't seem quite right
Hm mm that it should be my last with you, with you
Hm mm and come September
Hm mm we'll all remember
Hm mm our camping days and friendships true, so true
Hm mm and as the years go by
Hm mm I'll think of you and sigh
Hm mm this is good night and not goodbye, goodnight!

Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!
Ssssssssssss.
I remoooooooooooved it!
Too late!
The Littlest Worm
(repeating song)
The little worm
(echo)
I ever saw
(echo)
Was stuck inside
(echo)
My soda straw
(echo)
All: The littlest worm I ever saw, I ever saw, was stuck inside my soda staw-aw-aw-aw-aw!
He said to me ...
Don't take a sip ...
For if you do ...
I'll surely flip!
All: He said to me don't take a sip, don't take a sip, for if you do, I'll surely fli-i-i-i-ip!
I took a sip ...
And he went down ...
Right through my pipes ...
He must have drowned ...
I coughed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my brother's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
And now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...
The biggest worm ...
I ever saw ...
Was stuck inside ...
My matza ball ...
He said to me ...
Don't take a bite ...
For if you do ...
I'll die of fright ...
I took a bite ...
And he went down ...
Right through my stomach ...
He must have drowned ...
I barfed him up ...
And he was dead ...
So I buried him ...
In my sister's bed ...
He was my pal ...
He was my friend ...
But now he's gone ...
And that's the end ...

The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)
The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
Little black things, little black things
Crawling up and down my arm
If I wait 'til they have babies,
I can start a black things farm.
Haven't had a bath in two years
And I never change my clothes.
But I have these little black things,
Where they come from,
Heaven knows!
Once a cute boy tried to kiss me
But he ran and gave a yell.
I ran after him to ask him
Was it the black things
Or the smell?
Little Cabin in the Woods
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at his door
"Help me help me help me!" he cried
'fore the hunter shoots me dead
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide.
(Jazzy version)
Dananana little cabin in the deep deep woods
Dananana little hermit by the window stood
Dananana saw a hare come hoppin' by
A' knockin' at his door
"Like help! Like help! Like help!"
he cried
Before the hunter exterminates me
Come little rabbit come inside
Safely to abide!
Little Piece of Tin
I'm a little piece of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board
I'm not a Chevy and I'm not a Ford
(refrain)
Honk honk
Rattle rattle rattle
Crash!
Beep beep!
Honk honk
Rattle rattle rattle
Crash!
Beep beep!
Honk honk
I'm a little strip-ed skunk
Sleeping under someone's bunk
Nobody wants to sleep with me
'Cuz I'm as stinky as can be
(refrain)
Pepsi cola went to town
Coca cola shot him down
Dr. Pepper fixed him up
Now, I'm drinkin' 7-up!
(refrain)
Little Red Wagon
You can't ride in my little red wagon
Front seat's broken and the axle's draggin'
Chug-a chug-a chug-a-chug-a chug-a
Next verse, same as the first
Just a little bit louder and a little bit worse
Little Skunk
Well I stuck my head in the little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "well, bless my soul!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remooooooooove it!
Well I didn't take it out and the little skunk said
"If you don't take it out, you'll wish you had!"
Take it out, take it out, take it out, take it out
Remoooooooooove it!

The years have gone by too quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
And yesterday I gave to him my marvelous little toy:
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
And he gave a squeal of glee!
Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me!
It still goes... (refrain)
The Marvelous Toy
(Tom Paxton) Cherry Lane Music, Inc., ASCAP
When I was just a wee little lad, full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was with many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it, it became my heart's delight.
(Refrain)
It went "Zip" when it moved and "Pop" when it stopped,
"Whirrr" when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.
The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
That looked like big green eyes
I first pushed one and then the other, then I twisted it's lid
And when I set it down again, here is what it did:
(Refrain)
It first marched left, and then marched right
And then marched under a chair
And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
I started to cry, but my daddy laughed cause he knew that I would find,
When I turned around my marvelous toy would be chugging from behind.
(Refrain)

Magic Penny
Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways

Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear

With a love that never dies

Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This land is your land,
this land is my land

From the redwood forests

This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down

Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife
Hotdog!
I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and then you won't have any but lend it spend and you'll have so many, they'll roll all over the floor.
Make-Believe Town
(Yarrow/Mezzetti)
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, yes,
In Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town,
Oh, Make-Believe Town
Is a mess
It's a mess because all the animals walk,
It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,
It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus, faster tempo)
Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting
Go no more a-hunting,
but that's in animal Make-Believe Town.
Well the monkey who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He loves to drink saffron tea
He sits on the verandah
And talks to the panda
And then he jumps into the sea
He jumps into the sea because it is green
He jumps into the sea to visit the queen
He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the elephant lives
In Make-Believe Town
And he is a wise old man
He studied in books
Where nobody looks
Because they're all covered with jam
He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace
He is wise because of his wrinkly face
He is wise because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Well the magician who lives
In Make-Believe Town
He can do any trick in the book
He makes little girls giggle
And tadpoles twiggle
And rides through the sky on his hook
He rides because the good fairy is there
And he rides because he has long purple hair
He rides because all the hunting hounds ...
(Chorus)
Well the children that live
In Make-Believe Town
They are good friends like you and me
They can go where they wish
And hide in a dish
And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!
My Reindeer Flies Sideways
(tune: Pomp and Circumstance)
My reindeer flies sideways
She's better than yours
My reindeer can cha-cha
She can open a door.
My reindeer is purple
Yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout
She can dig a latrine
My reindeer is married
To a boy scout
They're having a baby
Don't let Santa find out
Mules
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

Oh Gee
Oh gee, how happy I feel
I've got visions of an automobile
Don't have to worry where I get my next meal
'Cuz I'm eatin' chicken

Everything is goin' my way
Every dog's got to have his own day
Well I got mine and I'm ready to say
Everything everything everything everything everything's

Well my clothes are tailor-made
And my shoes are paten leather
All ya gotta do is stitch yourself together
Take a look at me and

Everything everything everything everything everything's

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!
Water water water!
Save my child! Save my child!
Jump lady jump!
Splat!

Chester have you heard about Harry
Just got back from the army

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop!

Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop
I'd go down with a slurp and come up with a burp
Oh I wish I were a little bottle o' pop, bottle o' pop

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
Refrain
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Princess Pat
The Princess Pat
Light infantry
She sailed across
The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called
The rick-a-dandoo
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo
refrain
Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you
If you don't forget
The rick-a-dandoo!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.

And climb in the sassafras tree
They are friends because they all love one another
They are friends because they all sing to each other
They are friends because all the hunting hounds...
(Chorus)
Make New Friends (Round)
Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the other's gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold
Me and My Dinosaur
refrain:
Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur
One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
(refrain)
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees
And when we got thirsty mile after mile
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile
(refrain)
Mm ah!
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog
"Mm ah!" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "mm ah!" too.
Honk honk went the big Mack truck one day
Squish squash went the little green frog.
And his eyes didn't go "mm ah!" anymore
'Cuz he got licked up by a dog.
Arf arf!

When we're behind

We find what these be for
So stand before

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,
when we were all in bed,
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.
When the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eyes and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
Fire fire fire!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

The Princess Pat

And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:

Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo

Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand and you have another
Put them both together and we have each other
You hold me and I'll hold you
And together we will see it through
Friends like you are one of a kind
Very special but hard to find
Friends are real and friends are true
If you love them they will love you too
Across the miles, across the sea
Friends forever we will always be
So good friends, wherever you roam
You'll be welcome in heart and home
New made friends like new made wine
Grow and mature to the end of time
Cherish friendship in your breast
New is good but old is best
Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold

And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.

Me and my dinosaur, I never had such a friend before
As big as a house twenty times and a half
And fifty times taller than any giraffe
Legs long as sequoia trees
Teeth big as piano keys
No two people are buddies more

One day it was cloudy and grey
And I wanted someone to come out and play
I heard a knock knock and I opened the door
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!

And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!

It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,

They'll fly to the trees,

And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?

He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...

And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

And what will the birdies do then,

They'll fly to the trees,

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.

Old Mother Leary
Late last night,

Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed.

She winked her eyes and said

Fire fire fire!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

But his ship sank

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love

We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear

With a love that never dies

Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too

Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo

Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,

And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,

They'll fly to the trees,

And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

Green scales fell like rain

Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower

A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

To the front, to the back, to the side side side

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.

There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here

My honor is to try

If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.

I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.

So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow

And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it

I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down

Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife

I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget

Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

There was a Hole

There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground

And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

On My Honor
Refrain:
On my honor I will try
There's a duty to be done
And I say "aye"
There's a reason here
for a reason above
My honor is to try
and my duty is to love.
People don't need to know my name
If I've done any harm then I'm to blame
If I've helped someone then I've helped me,
If I've opened up my eyes to see.
Refrain
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low there's one for you
If you need a friend then I will come
And there're many more where I come from.
Refrain
So, come with me where the fire burns bright
You can see much better by a candle's light
And you'll find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever learn in a year or so
Refrain
We've made a promise to always keep
And we pray "softly falls" before we sleep
We're Girl Scouts together and when we're gone
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

And took with her

Refrain:

Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too
If you forget
The rick-a-dandoo

Now Superman
Had a mighty fine tan
And Supergirl
Her hair just wouldn't curl
But they sure flew!
And so will you

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Running Bear
Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.

Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed - Achoo!
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 tasty
As tasty can be
And early last summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
And it grew lots of meatballs
And tomato sauce
So next time you're eating
Spaghetti with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze - Achoo!
One Tin Soldier
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said

Ten in a Bed
There were (10, 9, 8, etc) in the bed
And the little one said
"I'm crowded! Roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out!
When he hit the floor,
He gave a little shout "ow!"
Please remember
To tie a knot in your pajamas
Single bed are only make for 1, 2 ...
(back to beginning)
There was one in the bed
And the little one said
"I've got the whole bed to myself
I've got the whole bed to myself
I've got the whole bed to myself
I've got the whole bed to myself!"
The More We Get Together (Round)

The Noble Duke of York
The Noble Duke of York,
he had ten thousand men.
He marched them up
to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

See it drip. See it drip.

That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Chorus:
So go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
You can do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
But there won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain
All the treasures buried there.
Refrain
Now the valley filled with anger
Mount your horse, draw your swords
And the killed the mountain people
So they earned their just reward
Stood beside the buried treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on earth" was all it said
Refrain

Percy the Pale-faced Polar Bear
Up in the land of ice and snow
Where the temperature drops to forty below
Who's the happiest one up there?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
He sleeps all day and then at night
He'll catch a few fish by the pale moonlight
Has no worries, has no cares
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Then one day a hunter came
Caught poor Percy by the snout
Put him in a great big cage
Percy howled and he growled
But he couldn't get out!
Now he's living in a zoo
The funny thing is he likes it too!
'Cuz he met his girlfriend there
And she loves ...
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!
Who?
Percy the pale-faced polar bear!

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)
Refrain (happily)

Rainbow Love
Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus
I was taught that black was evil
I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow
All the colours are understood.

Chorus:
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear

With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests

This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,

And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!

And what will the birdies do then,

They'll fly to the trees,

And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it

Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.

The Bering Sea
She sailed across
The Channel too!
And took with her
The rick-a-dandoo!
Refrain:
The rick-a-dandoo
Now what is that?
It's something made
By the Princess Pat
It's red and gold
And purple too
That's why it's called

Had a mighty fine crew
They sailed across
The Channel too
But his ship sank
And yours will too

Poor Birdies
It's gonna be a long summer
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the pool,
to keep themselves cool
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long fall
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south,
with a worm in their mouth
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long winter
And what will the birdies do then, the poor things?
They'll fly to the barn,
to keep themselves warm
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
It's gonna be a long spring
And what will the birdies do then,
the poor things?
They'll fly to the trees,
and sway in the breeze
And tuck their heads under their wings, the poor things!
Puff the Magic Dragon
refrain:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave

We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.

But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land,

From California

From the redwood forests

This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,

We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining

And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,

This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Puff the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honna Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and ceiling wax
And other fancy stuff
Refrain
Together they would travel
On a boat with a billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Nobel kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name!
Refrain
A dragon lives forever
But not so with little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly ceased his fearless roar
Refrain
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
Refrain (sadly)

Chorus:
We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!

But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again

I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow

Stood a lovely Indian maid.

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave

Dove into the water
Little White Dove

And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

You're neither up nor down.

It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower

('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

See it drip. See it drip.

We're a rainbow made of children
We're an army, just singing a song.
There's no weapons that can stop us.
Rainbow love is much too strong!
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin' yes sir to all the men
But I found that it got me nowhere
So I'll never say it again
Chorus

I was taught that white was good.
But when you become a rainbow

Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove

Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach

Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus

As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground

There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it

I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love as BIG AS the sky
Oh Running Bear
Loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies
On one side
of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear,
Young Indian brave
On the other side
of the rollling river
Stood a lovely Indian maid.
Little White Dove
Was her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes fought
With each other
So their love could never be
Chorus
He couldn't swim
The raging river
'Cuz the river
Was too wide
He couldn't reach
Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight
He could see her
Blowing kisses
'Cross the way
Her little heart was
Beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear
Dove into the water
Little White Dove
Did the same
And they swam
Toward each other
Through the rolling waves they came
As their eyes met
And their lips touched
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always
Be together
In their happy hunting ground
Chorus

And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe

A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

Ten in a Bed
There were (10, 9, 8, etc) in the bed

And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.

There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo

And the tree in the hole

And the green grass grew

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)

There's a Daisy on my Toe

It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.

And the green grass grew

And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo

That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole

And the green grass grew

And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land

Chorus:
This land is your land,

From California

From the redwood forests

This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day

He marched them up
to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down.
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.
Three Little Angels
Three little angels
all dressed in white
Tryin' to get to heaven
on the end of a kite
But when the kite string broke
and down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Two little angels ...
One little angel ...
(Three, two, one) little devil(s)
All dressed in red
Tryin' to get to heaven
On the end of a thread
But when the thread got broken,
down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little robber(s)
All dressed in black
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a pink Cadillac
But when the caddy broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went too ...
(Three, two, one) little Martian(s)
All dressed in green
Tryin' to get to heaven
in a washing machine
But when the washer broke
And down they all fell
'Stead of going to heaven,
they all went to ...
Don't get excited,
Don't lose your head
'Stead of going to heaven,
They all went to bed!
There's a Daisy on my Toe
(in a Southern accent)
There's a daisy on my toe
It is not real, it does not grow
It's just a tattoo of a flower
So I look good taking a shower
It's on the second toe
of my left foot
A stem and flower,
it has no root
('Cuz that wouldn't look good)
There's a daisy on my toe
My right foot loves
my left foot so.
There was a Hole
(The Green Grass)
There was a hole - echo
A pretty little hole - echo
The prettiest little hoe - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the hole in the ground
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!
And in that hole - echo
There was a tree - echo
The prettiest little tree - echo
That you ever did see - echo
And the tree in the hole
and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew
all around all around
And the green grass grew all around!

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie)
Chorus:
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York islands
From the redwood forests
to the gulfstream waters
This land is made for you and me!
Chorus descant:
This land is your land,
this land is mine
from Maine to Montana,
desert to the shore
We sing that this land is your land, this land is mine
And it's made for you and me
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway
I saw below me
that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts
And all around me,
a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining
and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting,
a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me

Well, I looked around the corner and what did I see?
A big fat man from Tennessee
Well, I'll be you five dollars, I can beat that man
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
To the front, to the back, to the side side side
I'm gonna raise my dress up above my knee
I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!

And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down

Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife
Hotdog!
I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!

I'm gonna shake it shake it shake it
'til a quarter to three
I'm gonna bend my back, put a hump on my back
Do the camel walk, do the camel walk!
Throw It Out the Window
The window, the window
The second story window
Think of a rhyme
and say it in time
And throw it out the window
(any nursery rhyme)
Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
She threw it out the window!

Three Blind Jellyfish
Three blind jellyfish - jellyfish!
Three blind jellyfish - jellyfish!
Three blind jellyfish
are sitting on a rock
And one fell off ...
Three Chartreuse Buzzards
Three chartreuse buzzards, buzzards

Are sitting in a dead tree!
Oh my! One has flown away!

Waltzing with Bears
I went to his room in the middle of the night
I crept to his side and I turned on the light
And to my surprise he was nowhere in sight
'Cause my Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night
Chorus:
He goes wa-wa--was waltzing
Waltzing with bears
Raggy bears, baggy bears, shaggy bears too
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing
Wa-wa-wa waltzing, go waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
But when he came home it was covered with hair
And lately I've noticed several new tears
I'm sure Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good
And do all the things we said that he should
But I know he would rather be off in the woods
I'l afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good
We begged and we pleaded, oh please won't you stay
And managed to keep him home for a day
But the bears all barged in and they took him away
Now he's dancing with pandas and he won't understand us
And the bears all demand at least one dance a day
Watermelon (Round)
Watermelon watermelon
See it drip. See it drip.
Up and down my elbows.
Up and down my elbows.
Spit the pits. Spit the pits.
Weenie Man
I know a Weenie man
He owns a weenie stand
He sells most anything
From hotdogs on down
down down down
Someday, I'll be his wife
His little weenie wife
Hotdog!
I love that Weenie man.
Weenie Man! Weenie Man!
Rah rah Weenie Man!
