Eee leke to eat. . .

I'm a Little Hunk of Tin
I'm a little hunk of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in.
Got four wheels and a running board
I'm not Chevy and I'm not Ford.
Honk honk rattle rattle crash beep beep
Honk honk rattle rattle crash beep beep
Honk honk.

If I Had a Hammer
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land
I'd hammer out danger,
I'd hammer out warning
I'd hammer out the love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

If I had a bell . . . If I had a song to sing . . .

Well I have a hammer
And I have a bell
And I have a song to sing all over this land,
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I Had a Hammer (Operation Treehouse Version)
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening, all over this camp
I'd hammer the climbing tree,
I'd hammer the tree house,
I'd hammer for all the scouts in this camp
All over this camp

If I had a hopper bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this camp
I'd ring it for breakfast
I'd ring it for dinner
I'd ring it for all the scouts in this camp
All over this camp

If I had a song to sing,
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this camp
So I'll sing the Birdie song
And I'll sing some barges too
I'd sing out Down on the banks of the Hanky Panky
All over this camp

Well I have a hammer
And I have a hopper bell
And I have a song to sing all over this camp
So I'll hammer the climbing tree,
And I'll ring it for breakfast,
And I'll sing out Down on the Banks of the Hanky Panky
All over this camp!

It's Not Hard
It's not hard I tell you so,
Just sing along and go like so!
Actions:
1st verse: slap hands on thighs, eight slaps to each line
2nd verse: slap hands on thighs, clap hands; 4 actions to each line
3rd verse: slap hands on thighs, clap hands, snap fingers; repeat, end by slapping hands on thighs again. This action is repeated once for each line
4th verse: slap hands on thighs, cross arms to slap hands on opposite thighs, slap hands on thighs, clap hands, snap fingers, clap hands, slap thighs. This action is repeated once for each line.
The secret to the actions is whenever you get lost, remember to always hit your knees at the word "just"!
(Repeat the song a number of times, getting faster. You can also try doing just the actions and no words!)

Itsy Bitsy
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain ,
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the birthday cake.
Itsy bitsy quickly learned he'd made a big mistake.
He climbed up on the candle before the cake was cut.
The itsy bitsy spider, he burned his little butt!

Jamie Boy
**Jamie boy, Jamie Boy
I see you walking by the water, the water
The water blue water
My Jamie boy, Jamie boy
I see you walking all alone
Why are you walking all alone?

Somebody
Should be walking with Jamie boy
Should be talking with Jamie boy
Somebody I know
A dubba, dubba, dubba, dubba**

Can't you see (you see)
Who is eager to walk with you
And is eager to talk with you
Somebody I know
A dubba, dubba, dubba, dubba**
It is I (is I)
Who is eager to walk (to walk) with you
And is eager to talk (to talk) with you
I love you so
A dubba, dubba, dubba, dubba**

John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt
John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt,
That's my name too...
Whenever I go out.
People always shout...
"John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt,"
Da, da, da, da, da, da,
Repeat four times, each time softer, until on the last verse no sound
comes out except-
Da, da, da, da, da, da.


John Johnson
(Pronounced Yon Yonson, as anybody from the North Central States would know)
My name is John Johnson, I come from Wisconsin (Visconsin), I work
(vork) in the lumberyard there -
All the people I meet when they walk down the street say, "Hey, What's
your name? and I tell 'em:
My name is John Johnson I come from Wisconsin I work in the lumberyard
there etc. etc. etc.

Johnny Saucep'n
Well he was just some Johnny Saucep'n
When he walked into that kitchen
And the chef picked up the order
And put down his Solzhenitysen
He said, "Make yourself at home, boy,
I just pre-warmed all the griddles
Ya got 20 minutes, starting now,
To create some gourmet vittles."

Basil endive parmesan shrimp live
Lobster hamster worchester muenster
Caviar radiccio snow pea scampi
Roquefort meat squirt blue beef red alert
Pork hocks side flank cantaloupe sheep shanks
Provolone flatbread goat's head soup
Gruyere cheese angelhair please
And a vichyssoise and a cabbage and the crawfish claws.

Sure he was just some Johnny Saucep'n
When he walked into that kitchen
But his genius with the foodstuffs
Got the old chef's tastebuds itchin'
Johnny Saucep'n bought the restaurant
And the chef came all unglued
There will always be a lineup
For that strange and wonderful food.

LET'S GO!
Basil endive parmesan shrimp live
Lobster hamster worchester muenster
Caviar radiccio snow pea scampi
Roquefort meat squirt blue beef red alert
Pork hocks side flank cantaloupe sheep shanks
Provolone flatbread goat's head soup
Gruyere cheese angelhair please
And a vichyssoise and a cabbage and the crawfish claws.

Jubilate Deo
Jubilate deo, Jubilate deo, Alleluiah.
(Difficult, eh? :D)

Junior Birdman
Up in the air Jr. Birdman,
Up in the air upside down,
Up in the air Jr. Birdman,
Keep your head up off the ground.
If you see a Jr. Birdman,
With his wings made of tin,
You will know that Jr. Birdman
Has sent his boxtops in.

Kookaburra
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, kookaburra, laugh kookaburra
Gay your life must be.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Eating all the gumdrops he can see
Stop! Kookaburra Stop!
Save some there for me!
