Tune: Supercalifragilisticexialidocious

Oh, when I was a little kid I never liked to eat,
Mama’d put things on my plate,
I’d dump them on her feet.
But then one day she made this soup, I ate it all in bed.
I asked her what was in it, and this is what she said.

Chorus
Ohhhh, chicken lips and lizard hips, and alligator eyes,
Monkey legs, Buzzard eggs, and Salamander thighs,
Rabbit ears and Camel rears, and tasty toenail pies.
Stir them all together, and it's mama’s soup surprise.

I went into the bathroom and I stood beside the sink,
I said I'm feeling slightly I'll, I think I’d like a drink.
Mama said “I’ve just the thing, I’ll get it in a wink,
It's full of lots of protein, and vitamins I think!”

Chorus

School's doing it, so why not :P © Disney

Bill Grogan’s Goat

Bill Grogan's goat,
was feeling fine.
Ate three red shirts,
right off the line.

Bill took a stick,
gave him three whacks,
And tied him to,
the railroad tracks.

The whistle blew,
the train grew nigh;
Bill Grogan's goat,
was doomed to die.

He gave three moans,
of mortal pain,
Barfed up those shirts,
and flagged that train.

The Engineer,
got out to see,
What in the world,
this thing could be.

And when he saw,
It was a goat,
Pulled out his knife,
and cut it's throat.

Now Billy Goat
is really dead,
He went to heaven,
without a head.

And when he got there,
St. Peter said,
'Dear Billy Goat,
where is your head?'

I do not know,
I can not tell,
For all I know,
It just may be ...

Way down yonder in the paw paw patch.

(You may immediately begin singing the Paw Paw Patch.)

A song! A Song! It's time to sing a song!

This is a fun repeat after me song that you can do with either your Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts.  If wanted, you can even make it into a do as I do song.  There are multiple renditions of this song online, but here is ours:

There was a great big moose
And he drank a lot of juice
There was a great big moose
And he drank a lot of juice

(Chorus, clap to beat)
Singing oh-way-oh
Way-oh-way-oh-way-oh
Waaay-oh-way-oh
Way-oh-way-oh-way-oh

The moose's name was Fred
And he drank his juice in bed
The moose's name was Fred
And he drank his juice in bed

(Chorus)

He drank his juice with care
But he spilled it in his hair
He drank his juice with care
But he spilled it in his hair

(Chorus)

The moose's hair went stiff
So he combed it in a quiff
The moose's hair went stiff
So he combed it in a quiff

(Chorus)

(Don't repeat) His friends began to laugh
(Everyone) HA HA HA HA
So he went to take a bath
(Don't repeat) His friends began to laugh
(Everyone) HA HA HA HA
So he went to take a bath

(Chorus)

As the water went down
Fred the Moose began to drown
As the water went down
Fred the Moose began to drown

Glug-glug-glug-glug-glug
Glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug
Glug-glug-glug-glug-glug
Glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug

(Don't repeat) now let's all count to five
(Everyone) one two three four five!
Fred the Moose is back alive!

 

Here is another rendition found on YouTube, enjoy.

The Quartermasters Store

Classic camp song that the scouts will usually take and turn into a loud stomping song. What’s in the Quartermaster’s Store!?

Classic camp song that the scouts will usually take and turn into a loud stomping song.

Burl Ives' rendition is a little more mellow than how it's sung up at camp.

Lyrics

There are snakes, snakes, snakes
Big as garden rakes,
At the store! At the store! 
There are snakes, snakes, snakes, 
Big as garden rakes, at the Quartermaster's store.

Chorus
My eyes are dim I can-not see. 
I have not got my specs with me. 
I have HEY! Not HO! got my specs with me.

There are mice, mice, mice
Running though the rice,
At the store! At the store! 
There are mice, mice, mice, 
Running through the rice, at the Quartermaster's store.

Chorus
Continue with each of the following:
3. lice - living on the mice. 
4. rats - big as alley cats. 
5. roaches - big as football coaches
6. watches - big as sasquaches
7. snakes - big as garden rakes
8. bears - but no one really cares
9. beavers    - with little meat cleavers
10. foxes    - stuffed in little boxes

Green Grow the Rushes O

Very up-beat and fun song for your scouts to sing.  THREE, THREE, THE RIVALS!...

One of my favorites from when I was a staff member at Island Park Scout Camp in Idaho.  Green Grow the Rushes O is a song with twelve verses that will have your scouts clapping and stomping by the end of it.

greengrow.gif

Here are the lyrics

I'll sing you one, O
Green grow the rushes, O
What is your one, O?
One is one and all alone
And evermore shall be so.

I'll sing you (the next number), O...

I'll sing you twelve, O
Green grow the rushes, O
What are your twelve, O?
Twelve for the twelve Apostles
Eleven for the eleven who went to heaven,
Ten for the ten commandments,
Nine for the nine bright shiners,
Eight for the April Rainers,
Seven for the seven stars in the sky,
Six for the six proud walkers,
Five for the symbols at your door,
Four for the Gospel makers,
THREE!, THREE!, THE RIVALS!,
Two, two, the lily-white boys,
Clothed all in green, O
One is one and all alone
And evermore shall be so.

My Paddles Keen And Bright Song

One of the first songs I remember singing when I was 12 at my first Scout Camp at Camp Loll, Wyoming... ahhh good memories of swamping the canoe in the glacier fed lake on an overnight trip during a rain storm.

Paddles.jpg

One of the first songs I remember singing when I was 12 at my first Scout Camp at Camp Loll, Wyoming... ahhh good memories of swamping the canoe in the glacier fed lake on an overnight trip during a rain storm.

Lyrics:

3 part round

Our paddles keen and bright,

Flashing like silver;

Swift as the wild goose flight,

Dip, dip, and swing.

Dip, dip, and swing them back,

Flashing like silver;

Swift as the wild goose flight,

Dip, dip and swing.

I’ve got that Tiger Cub spirit
Up in my head, up in my head, up in my head,
I’ve got that Tiger Cub spirit
Up in my head
Up in my head to stay.
Additional verses:
Replace “up in my head” with
 Deep in my heart
 Down in my feet
 All over me

Songs: The Tiger Went Over The Mountain

(Tune:  For He’s a Jolly good Fellow)

The Tiger went over the mountain,
The Tiger went over the mountain,
The Tiger went over the mountain
To see what he could see.
And all that he could see,
And all that he could see,
Was the other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see.
