GIRL SCOUTS OF CENTRAL MARYLAND PRESENTS: SONGS GIRL SCOUTS LOVE TO SING 04-328 10/09 GIRL SCOUTS OF CENTRAL MARYLAND PRESENTS: SONGS GIRL SCOUTS LOVE TO SING One of many traditions in Girl Scouting is singing, whether it is a silly hiking song, a tune that is appropriate for a special ceremony, or just fun songs to be sung around the campfire. This booklet of songs has been compiled from many different sources. The songs are arranged in alphabetical order with rounds and graces at the back. You may find that the words are slightly different than what you learned; many of these songs have been handed down and passed along and the words have changed. If you like the way you learned a particular song, by all means continue singing it that way. And have fun singing!!! NOTE TO SONG TEACHERS/LEADERS: To avoid “losing” your audience, you must KNOW the songs that you are teaching, without referring to the book or words. (Practice at home) This is especially important for the younger girls.

CHROUS ADAM & EVE (Tune: Dem Bones) (CHORUS) (Repeat after each verse) I know’d it, I know’d it, Indeed I know’d it Brother, I know’d it, Whee – dem bones gonna rise again. Lord, he thought he’d make a man. (Dem bones gonna rise again.) So he took a bit of water and he took a bit of sand. (Dem bones gonna rise again.) Now, Adam, he was mighty blue Didn’t know quite what to do. So the Lord he took a rib from Adam’s side And He made Miss Eve to be his bride. Put them in a garden fair. Thought they’d be most happy there. Apples, peaches, pears, and such. But of this tree, you must not touch. Well, around that tree Old Satan slunk. And at Miss Eve he wunk. ‘Miss Eve these apples are mighty fine’. Just take one, the Lord won’t mind. So Eve took a pick and she took a pull. And then she filled her fig leaf full. Next day when the Lord came ‘round. He spied them cores all over the ground. (CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE) 2 ADAM & EVE (CONT) Adam, who these cores did leave? ‘Tweren’t me Lord’, ‘I spect ‘twas Eve’. Adam you must leave this place. And earn your keep by the sweat of your face. So Adam took a pick and he took a plow. And that’s why we’re all working now. That’s the end, there ain’t no more. Eve got the apple and Adam got the core. AND THE MORAL IS: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWERS OF A WOMAN!!!

THE ANTS GO MARCHING (Tune: Johnny Comes Marching Home) The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah, hurrah! The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah, hurrah!

(Sing using a, e, i, o, u, vowel sounds) 6 THE BEAR SONG ( Tune: Sippin’ Cider ) The other day, I saw a bear, Out in the woods, away out there. He looked at me I looked at him, He sized me up, I sized up him. He said to me, “Why don’t you run ? I see that you ain’t got no gun.” I said to him, “That’s a good idee.” Come on now feet, let’s up and flee. And so I ran, away from there, But right behind, me came the bear. And then I saw ahead of me, A great big tree oh mercy me! The lowest branch, was ten feet up, I’ll have to jump, and trust my luck. And so I jumped into the air, But I missed that branch away up there. Now don’t you fret, and don’t you frown, I caught that branch, on the way back down. That’s all there is, there ain’t no more, Unless I see that bear once more. THE BEAR WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN (Girl Scout version) The Bear went over the mountain. The Bear went over the mountain. The Bear went over the mountain. To see what he could see. He saw a troop of Girl Scouts (sung 3 times) And what do you think he did? He ate up all the Girl Scouts, And what do you think he did? He took an alka seltzer, And what do you think he did? He burped up all the Girl Scouts, And what do you think THEY did? They ran and told his mommy, And what do you think SHE did? She spanked him on the sit upon, And what do you think HE did? He never went over the mountain, To see what he could see. BILLBOARD SONG As I was walking down the street, A billboard caught my eye. It was in such an awful state, It made me laugh and cry… The sign was torn and tattered, From a storm the night before… The wind and rain had done its work, And this is what I saw: Drink Coca-Cola cigarettes, Chew Whigley’s Spearmint beer Kennel Ration dog food Makes your wife’s complexion clear. Simonize your baby With a Hershey’s chococlate bar Texaco’s the beauty cream That’s used by all the stras. So take your next vacation In a brand new Frigidaire Learn to play the piano In your winter (or Granny’s) underwear. Doctors say that babies Should smoke until they’re 3 And people over 65 Should bathe in Lipton Tea… With flow-thru tea bags (draw out) BINGO (Tune: Framer and the Dell) There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name O B-I-N-G-O B-I-N-G-O B-I-N-G-O and B-I-N-G-O was his name O. ( Repeat five times substituting a clap for another letter each verse. ) BIRDIE SONG Way up in the sky, The big birds fly, While down in the nest, The little birds rest, Shhhh! YOU MIGHT WAKE UP THE BIRDIES! The bright sun comes up, The dew falls away, Good morning, good morning, The little birdie say. BLACK BEAR (Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic ) As one black bear backed up a bank, The other black bear backed down. CHORUS: Glory, glory how peculiar ( repeat 3 times after each verse ) (CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE) 7 BLACK BEAR (CONT) As one pink porpoise popped up the pole, The other pink porpoise popped down. As one slick snake slid up the slide, The other slick snake slid down. As one flick fly flew up the flu, The other flick fly flew down. BLACK SOCKS They never get dirty The longer you wear them, The stronger they get. Sometimes, I think I should wash them But something keeps telling me No, no! not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet. ( This should be sung as a round ) BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND (Written by: Bob Dylan) How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man. Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must cannon balls fly Before they’re forever banned. CHORUS The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, The answer is blowin’ in the wind. How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, and how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry. Yes, and how many deaths will it take ‘till He knows that too many people have died? CHORUS How many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? Yes, and how many years can some people exist Before they’re allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn’t see? CHORUS BOA CONSTRICTOR SONG I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor. I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor.

BOG IN THE VALLEY-O CHROUS Ho, Ro, The rattlin’ bog, The bog down in the valley-o Ho, Ro, The rattlin’ bog, The bog down in the valley-o.

A tree in the bog, the bog down in the valley-o CHORUS Now on this tree there was a limb, a rare limb, a rattlin’ limb A limb on the tree, and the tree in the bog, and the bog down in the valley-o.

BROWNIE FROG SONG I’ve something in my pocket that I found behind a log. My leader said to put it back but I want to keep this frog. It’s cool and green and slimy and it wiggles in my hand. I’ve also got a wooly worm and a pocket full of sand. BROWNIE HIKING SONG We are the happy Brownies. We are the busy elves. We love to help each other. And, of course, we help ourselves. We wake up in the morning with, A smile upon our face, And even if things don’t go right, We keep that smile in place. We’re the happy Brownies! BROWNIE MAGIC Cross your little fingers, Stand upon your toes. That’s a bit of magic every Brownie knows. Now we are all standing in a forest glade. Listen very carefully, See the magic made. Uncross your little fingers, Down from off your toes, Then the magic goes away, Everybody knows. BROWNIE SMILE SONG I’ve something in my pocket. It belongs across my face. I keep it very close at hand. In a most convenient place. I’m sure you couldn’t guess it. If you guessed a long, long while. So, I’ll take it out and put it on. It’s a great big Brownie Smile. BURNING CAMP Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning camp, We have tortured every counselor, We have broken every lamp. We sit around the tents all day, There’s nothing else to do, There’s spiders in here too. Glory, glory hallelujah. It rained all night but it’s no cooler, If the sun came out t’would be peculiar. This camp has got to go. CAMP DIRECTOR SONG (Tune: Yankee Doodle Dandy) Once a Girl Scout went to camp. She went to bed without a lamp. And found a beetle on her bed. This is what the Girl Scout said: “Beetle, beetle, go away. I’m afraid you cannot stay. Remember what the camp director said, No two persons in one bed.” CAMP SONG (Tune: I Don’t Want No More of Army Life) The ice cream that they give you, They say is very fine, But when you go to eat it, It tastes like turpentine. (CHORUS) Oh I don’t want to go to Girl Scout Camp, Gee Mom, I wanna go, But they won’t let me go, Gee Mom, I wanna go home. The bathrooms….. But when you go to use them, You need the 409. CHORUS The donuts… But one rolled off the table, And killed a friend of mine. CHORUS The leaders… But when they take their makeup off, They look like Frankenstein. CHORUS First Aiders… No matter what ails you, They treat it with iodine. CHORUS The tents… If they don’t fall on you, They leak all the time. CHORUS 11 CIRCLE GREEN (Tune: This Old Man) Circle green, circle green Finest circle we have seen The greatest task that we know Is to make the circle grow. Smallest one circle me Then we add the family Friends will make it larger still Further we must spread goodwill. People here people there All God’s children everywhere Are of one big family In the circle they should be. Circle Green Grow and Grow So our neighborhoods will show We can make a world that’s good Through love and peace and sisterhood. COAST TO COAST (Echo each verse) From coast to coast Girl Scouting is the most I say, from coast to coast Girl Scouting is the most From east to west Girl Scouting is the best I say, from east to west Girl Scouting is the best From sea to sea Girl Scouting is for me I say, from sea to sea Girl Scouting is for me. COMMON GROUND Voices are calling round the earth. Music is rising in the sea. The spirit of morning falls in the air, Guiding my journey home. Where is the path beyond the forest? Where is the song I always knew? I remember it just around the bend. In the valley the music never ends. CHORUS In a circle of friends, In a circle of sound, All our voices will blend, When we touch common ground. Voices are calling round the earth. Music is rising in the sea. The spirit of morning fills the air, Guiding my journey home. Here is the path beyond the forest. Here is the song I always knew. I remember it’s just around the bend. In the music the village never ends. CHORUS COME TO THE FIRE Come, come, come to the fire, Come, come join in the ring. Here fine dreams to inspire. Stories to tell, music to sing. COVERED WAGON In the fire by the stream We see pictures of the past We see pictures of the dreams in pioneers. We see dreams of weary people Finding homes at last As they roamed the rolling hills of many years Roll on, roll on, you roving covered wagons. Roll on, roll on, you valiant pioneers Roll on, roll on, let nothing dim your vision Roll on forever, to ever new frontiers. THE CRUEL WAR IS RAGING The cruel war is raging Johnny has to fight I want to be with him From morning to night. REFRAIN: I want to be with him, It grieves my heart so, ‘O let me go with you, No, my love No! Oh Johnny, dear Johnny Morning noon and night I think of you marching Left right left and right. I know you’re so gentle When you hold me tight Oh how will they make you Get out there and fight. Go speak to your sergeant And say you want out Just say your allergic To this kind of bout. (CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE) 12 THE CRUEL WAR IS RAGING (Cont.) Oh Johnny, dear Johnny Yes I know you’re brave But oh, How I miss you It’s your love I crave. Oh why did the army Take you from my side To go into battle Away from your bride. I’m counting the minutes The hour and the days Oh, Lord stop the cruel war For this my heart prays.

Smile a friendly smile and say, May I help someone today? DAISY LOW (Tune: Oh, Susanna) CHORUS: Oh, dear Daisy, Oh come and laugh with me. We’ve got our troops together and we’re as happy as can be. There was a girl named Daisy Low, a tomboy she might be. She thought all girls a friend did need and a place to learn to be. She started a troop all by herself, a place to learn and grow. They played some games and learned to sing some songs that we still know. CHORUS Now time’s gone by and you’re now gone, but we often think of you.

CHORUS DAYS OF GIRL SCOUTING Days of Girl Scouting will fly away, die away Days of true friendship will be memories We have loved, We have learned Let us now teach in turn That the flame we have kindled Forever will burn CHORUS Turn around, turn around And you’re a young scout going out in the world All of our footsteps will fade away, fade away Others will travel the path we have trod With our songs full of joy and our hearts full of love We will keep the flame burning for those yet to come.

Faithful to country Loyal to home, Known as true Girl Scouts Wherever we roam. GIRL SCOUTS TOGETHER (camp version) Girl Scouts together, lonely are we. We need some Boy Scouts for company. Someone who loves us, someone who cares. Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts Make wonderful pairs. GIVE ME YOUR HAND Give me your hand and I’ll take you with me, Traveling far and near. Seeking a land that needs to be free, Where friendship’s meaning is clear. Everyone should surely be a friend to all, No matter where. No matter who, And they should do the same for you. Every human being should do this very thing, But as a Scout in this day and age, You are shown the way, then given a chance, To be a friend and change the way the world is today. So, give me your hand and I will take you with me. To meet different people and learn many things, About the way they live, and the way they feel, About the lives that are lived around them. We live in times of struggle, when fear can lock the door. But a Girl scout in this day and age can open them once more. God bless America, land that I love, By always being friendly and showing courtesy, Then the world will be a better place for everyone, You see. GO TELL AUNT RHODY (Trad.

One day that goat, Got frisked and fried. Ate three red shirts, Right off the line. The angry man, Took him by the neck, And tied him to, The railroad track. The whistle blew, As the train grew near. That poor old goat, Was doomed to die. He heaved a sigh, Of awful pain, And choked up three red shirts, And flagged the train, Flagged the train. TOOT! TOOT! GOD BLESS AMERICA God bless America, land that I love, Stand beside her and guide her, Through the night with the light from above. From the mountains to the prairies, To the oceans white with foam, God bless America, my home sweet home, God bless America, my home sweet home.

THE HIKE SONG (Tune: Caissons Go Rolling Along) Just strap your pack to your back, With a sandwich for a snack, And we’ll take to the road with a song. Thro’ the brush, thro’ the brake, When the day is first awake, Then the Girl Scouts go marching along. Whether spring or fall, You hear the highroad call, Come out! Tune up your little song! So, take your pack, And strap it to your back, For the Girl Scouts are hiking along, COME OUT HIKING! For the Girl Scouts are hiking along.

On the word – mind – put your foot back where it was. On the word – me – put the left foot out. On the word – I’m – put left foot back where it was. On the words – just a little – do a knee bend with the knees pointed out. On the word – cra-zy – bow with one hand on front of waist, the other behind waist. When saying crazy stretch out the syllables. Start counting and do it again! HILLBILLY WILL When my Hillbilly Will comes a riding round the hill, I just can’t get my shoes on fast enough, Yee haw!

How I love my Hillbilly Will. Yee Haw! HOME ON THE RANGE (By: Brewster Higley and Dan Kelly) Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the sky is not cloudy all day. Refrain: Home, Home on the range. Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the shy is not cloudy all day. How often at night when the Heavens are bright, With the light of the glittering stars, I stand there amazed and I ask as I gaze, Does their glory exceed that of ours. THE HOUSE ON POOH CORNER Christopher Robin and I walked along, On the branches lit up by the moon Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore, As our days disappeared all too soon. But I wandered much further today than I should, And I can’t find my way to the three acre woods. CHORUS So help me if you can, I’ve got to get back to the house at pooh corner by one. You’d be surprised there’s so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive, chase all the clouds from the sky, Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh (CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE) 27 THE HOUSE ON POOH CORNER (CONT) Winnie the Pooh doesn’t know what to do, Got a honey jar stuck on his nose. He came to me asking for help and advice, And from here no one knows where he goes, So I sent him to ask of the owl, if he’s there, How to loosen the jar from a nose of a bear. CHORUS (Instead of the last line substitute the following) Back to the days of Christopher Robin, Back to the ways of christopher Robin, Back to the days of Pooh, Poo-oo-oo-oo-ooh. HUMAN TOUCH It’s the human touch in this world that counts, The touch of your hand in mine, That means more to the fainting heart, Than shelter, bread, and wine. The shelter’s gone when the night is o’er, And bread last only a day. The touch of your hand and the sound of your voice, Live on in my soul always. May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again someday, May God hold you in the palm of his hand, May the memories that we have shared, Linger on and on. HYMN OF SCOUTING (Tune: The Church’s One Foundation) O Father we would bring thee A Scoutship strong and true A gift of loving service A struggle well won through A Scoutship that the leader Would surely love to see Of utter self surrender And spotless purity. Invested we did Promise, To live as Girl Scouts should, To be as kind and loving, As a great leader would, As thoughtful and as honest, As anyone can be, “I Promise on my Honor”, for the Girl Scouts are we. O, knit us all together As little friends of all And make us always ready To help up those who fall As Scouts we must be trusted To others to do good God bless and teach and strengthen The Girl Scout Sisterhood. And so, to thee, our leader As loyal Scouts we come And ask that thou wilt lead us Til Scouting days are done We face tomorrow’s challenged Strong in thy strength alone Look down and bless our Scoutship For we would be thine own. I KNOW A PLACE I know a place where no one goes. There’s peace and quiet, beauty and repose. It’s hidden in a valley, beside a mountain stream, And lying there beside the stream, I find that I can dream, Only the things of beauty to the eye; Snow-capped mountains towering to the sky, Now I know that God made this place for me. One can imagine herself as in a dream, Climbing a mountain or down a small ravine. The magic of this peace and quiet ever shall stay. To make this place a Heaven each and every day. Oh, how I wish I’d never have to leave. And all my life such beauty to receive. Now I know that God made this world for me. I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS I love the mountains. I love the rolling hills. I love the flowers. I love the daffodils. I love the fireside. When the lights are low. Bum dee ada (repeat three times) Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum I WILL DO MY BEST I will do my best to be honest I will do my best to be fair I will do my best through my words and deeds To show the world that I care.

Well I got a hammer and I got a bell, And I got 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 WINGS If I had wings, no one would ask me, Should I fly. The bird sings, no one asks why. I can see in something else keep your thoughts to yourself; I’ll fly free then. How can you ask if I’m happy going my way? You might as well ask a child to play. There’s no need to discuss or understand me. I won’t ask of myself to be someone else; I’ll just be me. Yesterday’s eyes see their colors fading away; They see their sun turning to gray. You can’t share in a dream That you don’t believe in. If you say that you see and pretend to be me; You won’t be then. If I had wings…(repeat verse 1) IF YOU’RE HAPPY If you’re happy and you know it Clap your hands (clap, clap) If you’re happy and you know it Clap your hands (clap, clap) If you’re happy and you know it Then your heart will surely know it. If your happy and you know it Clap your hands (clap, clap) Stamp your feet; Yell Amen; Do all three 31 LEADERS (To the tune of Barges) Out of my tent flap looking in the night, I can see the leaders having a fight. Silently go the pillows through the air, As the feathers they fly everywhere. Refrain: Leaders, I would like to fight with you, I would like to throw a pillow or two. Leaders, have you feathers up your nose, Do you fight with campers brave and bold. LET ME CALL YOU SISTER (Tune: Let Me Call You Sweetheart) Let me call you sister, I’m a Girl Scout too. Let me hear you whisper All your Scouts Laws through. Keep the girl Scout Promise In your heart so true. Let me call you sister, I’m a Girl scout too. LIEGE SONG Tra la Tra la Tra la la la la Tra la la Tra la la Tra la la (SHOUT) LINGER I want to linger. A little longer, A little longer here with you. It’s such a perfect night. It doesn’t seem quite right. That this should be my last with you. And come September, We’ll all remember. Our scouting days and friendships true. And as the years go by, We’ll all look back and sigh. This is good night but not goodbye. I want to linger. A little longer, A little longer with you. LITTLE BIRDIE CADENCE Little birdie in the sky, (repeat) Dropped some white wash in my eyes. (repeat) I’m a Girl Scout I don’t cry (repeat) I’m just glad that cows don’t fly. (repeat) LITTLE CABIN IN THE WOODS Little cabin in the woods Little man by the window stood Saw a rabbit walking by Frightened as can be. Help me! Help me! Help, he said Ere the hunter shoots me dead Come little rabbit come inside Safely to abide. LITTLE BLACK THINGS Little black things, Little black things, Crawling up and down my arm. If I wait till 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 jumped and gave a yell. And he ran before I could ask him, Was it the black things or the smell. LITTLE DROP OF DEW Little drop of dew, of dew, Like a gem you are. I believe that you must have been a star. When the day is light, is light, On the grass you lie. Tell me, then, at night are you in the sky? LITTLEST WORM The littlest worm I ever saw Was stuck inside My soda straw He said to me Don’t take a sip For if you do I’ll surely slip I took a sip And he went down Right through my pipes He must have drowned (CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE) 32 LITTLEST WORM (CONT) He was my pal He was my friend And now he’s gone And that’s the end. LOLLIPOP When you come to the end of a lollipop To the end, to the end of a lollipop. When you come to the end of a lollipop, Plop! Goes your heart. Oh gilly, oh golly, How I love my lollipop Right down to the very last lick. But what do you do with it, When you are through with it, All you have left is the stick. YICK! (repeat verse one) MAKE NEW FRIENDS Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other’s gold. 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’ll love you too. So good friends wherever you may roam. You’ll be welcome in my heart and home. New made friends like new made wine. With age will mellow and be refined. A circle is round and has no end. That’s how long I want to be your friend. MAGIC When I was young, I thought the stars were made for wishing on. And every hole deep in a tree must hide a leprechaun. Old houses all had secret rooms if one could find the door. But who believes in magic anymore. (CHORUS) Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain. Magic keeps a dream alive to try and try again. Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave. I do believe in magic, I believe. When I grew up the grownups said some day I’d wake and find. That magic is a childish game I’d have to leave behind. Like clothes that would no longer fit or toys that I ignore. I’d not believe in magic anymore. (CHROUS) Although my childhood’s far behind I’ve learned to my surprise. That magic did not fade away It wears a new disguise. A child, a friend, a smile, a song, the courage to stand tall, And love’s the greatest magic of them all. (CHORUS) (Sing the first chorus one more time.) MARY’S SONG I’ve been sitting here thinking about leaving, When I wanteed to stay the most, So I went outside and left a piece of my heart, Buired by the third fence post CHORUS When tomorrow morning comes, I’ll be smiling, Though I might be a little down, Though my body’s leaving, I’ll still be around. I’ve been sitting here thinking about my life, And the friendships I have made, So I took the memories and I treasured them For a cold and rainy day. CHORUS I’ve been sitting here thinking about the flowers and the sunshine, And happiness of being alive, Which means I’ve been thinking about the water and the mountians, And plenty of wide open sky. CHORUS I’ve been sitting here thinking about smiling, And the love and the warmth that you give, So I went outside your little house, And felt glad about the way you live.

Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from Heaven, Like the first dew fall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the west garden, Sprung in completeness where His feet pass. Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning. Born of the one light Eden saw play! Praise with elation, Praise every morning, God’s re-creation of the new day.

ONE TIN SOLDIER (By: Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter) Listen children to a story. That was written long ago. ‘Bout a kingdom on a 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 there very own. CHORUS Go ahead and hate your neighbor. Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of heaven. You can justify it in the end. There won’t be any trumpets blowin’. 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 kingdom, With our brothers we will share. All the secrets of our mountain, All the riches buried there. CHORUS Now the valley cried with anger. Mount your horses! Draw your sword! And they killed the mountain people. So they won their just reward. Now they stood beside the treasure, On the mountain dark and red. Turned the stone and looked beneath it: “PEACE ON EARTH” was all it said. CHORUS THE ORCHESTRA The violins ringing, with looooovely singing. The violins ringing, with looooovely singing. The clarinets makes doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle, deck.

OUR CABANA SONG Neath the grand Sierra Madre, On a plain in Mexico Lies out beautiful Cabana, Where the Guides and Girl Scouts go. Oh, come then to see the mountains, The cactus and sunny skies. Hear the cricket in the evening, See the white moon arise. When you see the warm red roots. You think of hearts that glow with cheer. And the walls of sturdy stonework. Stand for friendship so dear. Each day there is filled with laughter. Each evening is filled with song. And our stay in Our Cabana. Gives us memories life long. When we go to Our Cabana. We will find ourselves at home. There’s a greeting smile so friendly. And a handshake so warm. So come now to Our Cabana. World friendships to increase. And carry to your homeland. International peace. 37 OUR CHALET SONG High up, high on a mountain We’ve founded Our Chalet High up, high on a mountain We’ve founded Our Chalet It’s sloping roof and wide Shall shelter us without a care And each Girl Scout and Guide Shall find a welcome there.

OUR LEADERS (Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic) We have tortured all the leaders, We have broken girl Scout laws. We have driven them all loony, With our ever-constant noise. We have given them bad headaches, With our singing, all off key, And now they are batty ever more. CHORUS Glory, glory alleluia, Girl Scouts slipped right by the leaders. Hid in the latrine, With all their underwear! It’s a wonder there are leaders anywhere. As you know, we love our leaders. We must have them to our troop. But it’s lots of fun to tease them. We know they love our group. But today they’re feeling funny. As they hunt their underwear, We are glad there are leaders over there. OUR SCOUTS ARE MARCHING ON (Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic) Our eyes may catch the vision of the line against the sky. Hundreds, thousands of our Scouts, an army marching by!

Counselors, are there treasures in your hold? Do you fight with campers brave and bold? 38 PACK UP YOUR WIENERS Pack up your wieners in your old knapsack And HIKE, HIKE, HIKE.

PAJAMAS (Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic) She wears her pink pajamas in the summer when it’s hot. She wears her flannel nighty in the winter when it's not. And sometimes in the springtime. And sometimes in the fall. She jumps between the sheets with nothing on at all. Glory, glory, Alleluia Glory, glory, What’s it to you. Balmy breezes blow right thru ya’ With nothing on at all. PART OF BEING A GIRL Look at us world and see how we grow. Just look at us girls to see all we know. Girl Scouts have fun exploring their lives. Making new friends and discovering why. CHORUS Girl Scouting’s part of being a girl. It’s learning to be in a very big world. Learning to care and learning to share. And seeking the answers tomorrow will bring.

CHORUS THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (By: Woodie Guthrie) This land is your land, this land is my land. From California to the New York Island, From the Redwood Forest To the Gulf Stream waters, This land is made for you and me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me the endless skyway, I saw below me that golden valley. This land was made for you and me. I’ve roamed and rambled, and I 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 LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine (three times) (CHORUS) Ev’ry day, ev’ry day, ev’ry day, ev’ry day, Gonna let my little light shine. My brothers and my sisters, I’m gonna help them shine, (three times) CHORUS This big world or ours, I’m gonna help it shine (three times) CHORUS THIS OLD GUITAR By John Denver This old guitar taught me to sing a love song, It showed me how to laugh and how to cry. It introduced me to some friends of mine and brightened up some days, And it helped me make it through some lonely nights. Oh, what a friend to have on a cold and lonely night. This old guitar gave me my lovely lady, It opened up her eyes and ears to me. It brought us close together -- and I guess it broke her heart, It opened up the space for us to be. What a lovely place and a lovely space to be. This old guitar gave me my life, my living, All the things you know I love to do.

And they thought they had a ship that the water could never go through, But the good Lord raised his hand, said that ship would never stand. It was sad when that great ship went down. CHORUS O It was sad, it was sad, it was sad, It was sad when that great ship went down to the bottom Husbands, wives and little children lost their lives. It was sad when that great ship went down. They sailed out from England and were almost to the shore, When the rich refused to associate with the poor, So they put them down below where they were the first to go, It was sad when that great ship went down. CHORUS TODAY CHORUS Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine, I’ll taste your strawberries and drink your sweet wine. A million tomorrows may all pass away. Ere I forget all the joys that were mine today. I’ll be a dandy and I’ll be a rover. You’ll know who I am by the songs that I sing. I’ll feast at your table and sleep in your clover, Who cares what tomorrow brings? CHORUS I can’t be contented with yesterday’s glory. I can’t live on promises, winter to spring.
